The season is upon us, even if spring is not.

2018 MLB Draft Picks
#18
#33 - Compensation (Eric Hosmer)
#34 - Compensation (Lorenzo Cain)
#40 (Competitive Balance Round A)

018 Draft Names to Watch

RHP Kumar Rocker, N Oconnee HS, Georgia.
Spoiler!

OF Jarred Kelenic, Waukasha West HS, WI
Spoiler!

1B Triston Casas, American Heritage HS (FL).
Spoiler!

RHP Carter Stewart, Eau de Gallie HS (Ga).
Spoiler!

ANY Any, Any (Any). Any current top projected pick who slides for injury concerns. Includes current top prospect prospect SP Brady Singer, U of Florida.

Current Prospects to Watch:

OF Seuly Matias - Huge tools. Hit 2 HR in Lexington (A) season opener.

1B Nick Pratto - Top pick in 17 has advanced approach and good glove; needs to start tapping into power in first full year in minors. Also at Lexington.

OF Michael Gigliotti - Good defender in CF, good OBP skills, plus baserunner. Next mainstay in CF for KC, IMO. Advanced college bat also starting at Lexington.

OF Khalil Lee - Probably has highest upside in Royals' system. Could hit 30 HR in majors, could steal 30 bases. Plus defensive ability in RF. Nice test at Wilmington this year.

3B Emmanuel Rivera - Really nice approach and good contact skills. Power is still developing. Also getting a good test at Wilmington.

SP Foster Griffin - Made nice strides in 2017. Needs to continue to progress in 2018. Could be a lefty version of Jakob Junis (good breaking ball that he can really manipulate, OK fastball, good command).

1B Samir Duenez - Duenez still is intriguing, hoping for a step forward in his power production this year at Northwest Arkansas, which would turn him into a legit prospect.

Others to keep an eye on:
SP Gerson Garabito (Wilmington), OF Marten Gasparini (Lexington), C MJ Melendez (Lexington), RP Tyler Zuber (lexington), RP Richard Lovelady (Omaha), SP Dan Tillo (Lexington), SS Nicky Lopez (NWA), SP Scott Blewett (NWA), OF Brewer Hicklen (Idaho Falls),

In general, Lexington and Wilmington are the most interesting spots to watch. Nice depth and a lot of interesting pieces at both.

We spent 143/250 in revenue, Cards spent 148/315

I won't argue with that either. I'm very happy with what Glass has invested in the team. However, my point is that the Cardinals have regularly outspent the Royals since the end of the strike.

The Cards should be lauded for their scouting and development, but I don't think their ability to spend is an even comp for the Royals.

How do you all feel about the return you got for Herrera? Seems kind of anemic to me.

How do you feel about the Cards not beating an anemic trade?

It all comes down to our scouting. If two of the players are productive contributors in the Majors by 2020-2021, it's a huge win.

It could also be the second coming of the Johnny Damon trade. Expect something similar to the end of the Baird era if it ends up being a similar return.

I wouldn't want them to buy anything this year. They aren't good.

Understatement of the decade. These are going to be Buddy Bell type teams, but without Zach Greinke type talent awaiting to blossom in the rotation.

Jim Bowden hates the trade from the perspective of the return we got. We got fucked on this trade.

I feel like this is all we were going to get for 3 months of a reliever, also wonder if the Royals had some concern about his arm.

Never forget his trade idea from 2013:


Royals acquire: P Bud Norris, 2B Jose Altuve, 1B/OF Chris Carter

Astros acquire: OF Bubba Starling, SS Orlando Calixte, C Cameron Gallagher, 2B Johnny Giavotella, P Sam Selman, and P Jason Adam

From the Royals perspective, this is probably the most encouraging review of the trade you could post. I would trust Dayton Moore over Jim Bowden 105 times out of 100.

Jim Bowden is a dumb fuck. He is the CoMo of MLB analysts.
