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.

With Singer, I think we'll see it's one of a few things:
1) Weird spring training has him off schedule (his velocity being down would coincide with the "dead arm" period most guys work through in Spring Training
2) He wasn't that good
3) The pitching coaching hasn't been as effective with him as the previous staff
4) He's injured (which would probably related to (1))
