2023 – A new beginning for the Royals. Matt Quatraro era begins. A year to see which of our young players will make up the core going forward. Can Bobby Witt Jr become a superstar SS or will go to the hot corner? Will Brady Singer take the next step forward? Will Salvy be Salvy? Will Big Vin or Pratto take first base? Will they find a position for MJ? Who else emerges from the youth movement? Not to mention the development of the new downtown stadium.

I believe in this kid. Related to a long line of winners.
If he can SLG .450 at the MLB level, his impact goes way, way, way up.
Excellent defensive SS with 11% walk rates vs 16% K rates who SLG .450 in the majors are pretty valuable pieces. Especially if they can swipe 25 bags, too. [Reply]
