Low Single-A Burlington’s Joe Dickerson went 2-for-5 and hit his first homer of the year on Saturday.
The 21-year-old Dickerson has made a quick adjustment to full-season ball, hitting .310/.412/.429 in 13 games so far. The 2005 fourth-round pick is no lock to remain a center fielder and wouldn’t be nearly as good of a prospect in a corner. However, if he can stay in center, he has a chance of becoming a long-term regular for the Royals. He’d be ready about the time that David DeJesus could require a move to left.
