It's a good problem to have. Honestly it puts pressure on both Isbel and Benintendi to perform, or they're going to probably get pushed a little bit. You could put Whit in CF short term, but that's not a long term answer and we all know that Dayton is going to try and put an elite defender in CF at the K.

Long-term, he's a better SS, and if you can be a GG-caliber shortstop (he can) you don't get moved unless the team has a superior SS available. |

The position adj for runs is
C +12.5 SS 7.5 3B, CF 2.5 So unless Witt can take over for Salvy, no, he’s not moving off SS |

Davis and Alberto make the 40 man roster full. If they add Isbel or Santana or Brentz, we will need to create room. Santana is on an MILB contract...so no biggie if he starts on the taxi squad until we need more than 4 starters or until injury. Tillo likely goes to the 60 day. That takes care of adding Isbel. If we add Brentz, someone will need to be DFA'd unless I'm unaware of another 60 day candidate. Blewitt seems a likely candidate.

The Royals will have reduced capacity at Kauffman Stadium to start the season, allowing around 10,000 fans to watch games in person
That wouldn’t have even mattered the couple seasons pre-Rona |

I'm by no means a baseball expert. But I've read articles stating that Witt is the best shortstop prospect not named A-Rod to be drafted in the last 32 years. Shortstop, if I recall correctly, is typically the premium position on the diamond. Why would the Royals consider playing Witt anywhere else? Mahomes might make a fine receiver, but we would be wasting his best talents there. If someone has to move, it should be Mondesi. Leave Witt in the spot he was born to play.
