I think Wilmington might collapse in the second half if Lynch and Kowar join Singer soon.

I’m looking at him as a September call up for next year. I don’t think we have the ability to upgrade our pitching staff quickly enough to have him move through the system much faster.
I do think our lineup could be very good next year with the addition of Salvy and loss of a couple guys. |

I’d expect Lynch to follow Singer shortly. That’s not a rush for either guy considering what they’ve been doing or how advanced they were.
I don’t think Kowar will be moved as aggressively. His curve still needs work. Bubic might move a little faster, too. |

Not sure you can rush him at this point unless he's simply not getting it done at a particular level. He's a college arm at age 22 (will turn 23 in August). At this point, he continues to move up as determined by his mastery at each level. No reason to hold him back if he's performing (unless they have an inning limit on him for this year).

Usually college arms advance quickly, the issue though is if they are significantly ahead of the bats that could turn into a real problem.

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. https://www.mlb.com/news/bobby-witt-...-draft-history Interesting - and exciting - stuff. Compares him favorably to Manny Machado, others. Best SS prospect in draft since Alex Rodriguez... |

Ruschmans college stats are absurd. 1.34 OPS this year I think I read
