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.

Which is a bad move short of the victim recanting any sort of testimony.

And I'll say what I said before...since he did something people don't like, even though he did what the law said he should, should he just off himself?

Everyone needs to be a little less outraged all the time

He was 15 this isn't exactly typical. Once again people need to relax and be less outraged about everything.

99.9% of 15 year old boys don't get the urge to diddle their 5 year old relatives.

Ok I get some push back when I say Dayton Moore hasn't been a good GM for a long time and people give me the "Trust him" narrative...

So why is he not trusted here? Fuck Dayton Moore is a religious freak who isn't ok with porn so if he's willing to sign this guy I'd say we should probably feel ok with it. I think Dayton Moore has done a lot of stupid shit but he seems to value character more than most GM's.

Mecca, you post a lot of stuff on here that I consider to be "stupid crap". But, what you just said made me pause and think, "He actually has a point".

Honestly, I just don't want the franchise branded as a "pedo friendly" one. That's what'll happen and I'm just not interested in that

Then people quitting on the team. Blah

Don't sign him. I prefer being thought of as a team of choir boys who go to church and happen to have a ring from 2015. Non of this potential pedo sh*t

Uh, you do remember that the 2014/2015 teams were seen as a bunch of fight-starting punks, right?

I can't wait to pray the pedo away for this guy at Faith and Family Night! Should be fun.

Ya I don't want the pedo on my team who seems to have no remorse and his brother doesn't talk to him either over this. The guy can try to have a job but not in MLB imo...that should be a privilege and kids look up to players. Even if he had remorse I'd rather another team sign him
