The Kansas City Royals are "open-minded" about Bobby Witt, Jr. breaking camp with the Major League club.

Witt is ranked by most outlets as a top 10 prospect.

"He can," Dayton Moore told Jim Bowden when asked about the youngster making the team. "I think we’re going to be very open-minded. When we came to Spring Training, we wanted to make sure we send a pretty clear message where we didn’t put unrealistic expectations on the player and just kind of let him go out and play. Try not to create just kind of an aura around him in that clubhouse with a team that -- we have some young players, but we’ve got some veterans as well. You do not want to create an uncomfortable situation for him. So we were careful with our messaging, but he’s come in here and just done a tremendous job. He’s earned the respect of all his teammates, and now that he’s been able to do that, I’m very much open-minded of him being on this team as we break this camp."
