Really interested to see how Isbel does if he gets the nod to start in RF full time. Could affect a LOT of other decisions for the Royals, including when to bring Witt up.
IMO, you want Witt at SS or 3B long term, but could start him out at second. But if Isbel plays up in RF or has success there, then you have no where to move Merrifield, as he will be playing second. SS is Mondesi (at least for this year) still and 3B is Dozier for now and they just gave him a 4 year extension so he's not going to NOT be starting somewhere, and 1B is not an option, due to Santana being here for the next 2 years. So, again, that leaves right field . . . . . . .
Kind of crazy to think how much hinges on RF and what Isbel does with the opportunity out there, but it will affect a LOT of other things and plans going forward this year.
