Royals' Gavin Cross: Scuffling for River Bandits

Cross is hitting .136 with 15 strikeouts and one walk in 11 July games for High-A Quad Cities.

He has a .667 OPS on the season and things seem to be trending in the wrong direction. Given that Cross is a 22-year-old who was the ninth overall pick in last year's draft, High-A shouldn't have been a big challenge for him, so these struggles are a pretty bad sign.
