Best prospect since Hosmer?
Does Witt stay at short when he gets called up or do you move him to second? I heard Petro mention possibly moving Mondi to center. I’m not sure I like that idea though. |

Jesus, y’all. This kid could be enough of a boost to almost make us a contender alone.

I won’t complain either way with Witt.
If they send him down to AA and he kills it for a few weeks, send him to AAA. If he destroys the ball there, call him and send him to 3B. It would be good for him to be tested and see the type of junk/slop they throw at AAA. But he’s also so precocious it might not matter. |

Still start him in AA but if he absolutely rakes you move him on up quicker than planned.

Whitt definitely playing more 2B than I was expecting in Spring Training. Sending him to AA gives he and Lopez a month to make their respective cases. Lopez technically has Isbel breathing down his neck as well, since his promotion would push Merrifield to 2B. Lots of scenarios for Lopez to lose his job unless he balls out of the gate.

Nick Pratto continues to hit. He's having a really solid spring.

There is zero chance Witt makes opening day roster. Why would you burn service time? He's really never been in the minors. If he rakes and you bring him up in June to minimize the service time hit.

With all the Whitt Jr. discussion happening - if you missed this, it's worth marveling at.
