Sans Zdebonair, of course.

The words are flowing quickly from George Brett’s mouth. The greatest player in Royals history can’t stop talking about winning baseball in Kansas City.
He’s saying the same names and phrases you’ve heard before.
Eric Hosmer can be a star. And the young left-handed pitchers can turn into studs. And guys like Johnny Giavotella and Mike Moustakas and Salvador Perez can win with talent AND chemistry.
“What were they doing in Double-A two years ago?” Brett says. “They were voted the best (darn) team in all of minor-league baseball.”

He said "looking."
Looking at Brett's rookie year, I'm kinda stunned to see him teammates with Pinson and Cepeda. For the life of me I can't recall ever seeing Pinson play but I almost certainly did. Hmmmm....
And how's this for some reasonably unauspicious debuts (maybe not all debuts but ...):
(age and OPS+)
Brett, 21, 91 OPS+
Wohlford, 23, 90
Cowens, 22, 67
White, 23, 50
B Martinez, 25, 73
Fixed.
