Most Kansas City Royals fans are already familiar with many of the prospects that could help as rookies in 2017. Hunter Dozier could hit his way into a DH/OF role. Oft injured pitcher Kyle Zimmer could emerge if his thoracic outlet surgery solves his constant injury issues. Outfielder Jorge Bonifacio could take his game up a notch. AA pitcher Alec Mills already made his debut in Kansas City last year. Jake Junis could also find his way into the pen.
