There are arguments for and against; Calixte and Mondesi have higher ceilings but also significantly lower floors. The odds suggests that one or both of them never take a major league at-bat. Meanwhile, Wong really could step in today and be a better big league 2b than Chris Getz.

Wong's ceiling is probably Jose Vidro (minus Vidro's 2000 campaign; I don't think Wong will ever have 20+ pop). He could reach that as soon as next season and be under team control for another 5 years. You're really not willing to give up the 3rd best long-term SS option you have for that guy?

The Royals would be silly not to move one of those guys at this point with their biggest holes being at 2b and RF. You could fill one of those holes damn nicely with a very good young 2b prospect.
