There's ZERO reason for Maier to be on the team. None.
I wouldn't have a huge problem with keeping Quintero over Pena...personally I'm not a fan of either player.
But if he keeps Maier over Dyson....or keeps Myers down in the minors just to keep Maier on the big league team....well then I have a serious issue with it.

So that means Dyson goes down, cut either Pena or Q and what other move? Cut Mitch?
My preference would be get rid of Quintero when Perez comes back, and cut Meier when either Cain or Myers comes up.
That's my preference as well, so my guess is that DM has a different opinion. I just have little faith in him at this point.
Who is the GM that brought you Hosmer, Moose, Myers, Perez, Escobar, Duffy? You may have your preferences, but unfortunately DM has a small market business model that he has to follow.
Yeah, that's great and all, but I could give a [censored] about minor league championships. I realize that's where the building needed to begin, but you can't help but question some of the decision making involving the major league team. No GM is perfect, but the Royals have a knack for making all the wrong decisions.

Myers is sitting on a .330.409/.697(!) line in 300 plate appearances this year. There is nothing to be gained from allowing him to terrorize the minors any longer. Time to go.

What does July 10 have to do with anything? We're safely past the Super Two line.

Been a tough year to suffer through. How many expected contributors have missed significant time?
Soria Duffy Paulino Cain Perez Escobar Holland
Hosmer's been a wreck. Sanchez an unmitigated disaster. Gordon seems like he aged three years during the offseason. Francoeur is blocking Myers. Outside of Odorizzi, no pitching has made significant progress.
Yuni.
For a franchise that really could have used a two- or three-year period where things mostly go right...they haven't.
