This is a different situation than 2011-12, though, when the Royals has basically no young position players outside Butler and Gordon up and ready.
Mondesi, Lopez, Merrifield, Dozier, and Perez should all be productive players for a few more years, particularly Mondesi and Lopez.
Khalil Lee is in line with Singer and Lynch and etc., too. I don’t know that he’ll be a big power hitter, but I can still see someone who plays excellent RF defense and is a David DeJesus type offensive player (more speed, less contact, more walks).
Here’s a good read from MLB on Witt.

Interesting - and exciting - stuff. Compares him favorably to Manny Machado, others. Best SS prospect in draft since Alex Rodriguez...
