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.

:-) The Diamondbacks put in Daniel Decalso to pitch in the 4th inning. He's a position player. Never seen that before.

He's back out for the 5th. They aren't really going to try and finish the last 5 innings of this game with position players are they?

:-) The Rockies pitcher just hit an absolute moonshot.

Just saw that pitcher homer. History could indeed be at play today.

I think Descalso and backup catcher Alex Avila pitched the last 4 innings. Gave up 1 run. Lol

Read an article where Trevor Oaks and Frank Schwindel played in the AAA all star game. So, I looked up Schwindel's stats and noticed Omaha has him listed as an outfielder. He has 15 HR's this year. O'Hearn, who has been playing 1st has 11. I wonder what the long term plans are for these guys?

My parents and some of my aunts and uncles still watch every Royals game out of habit. I know they didn't do that back in like 2005. We'll see how long it lasts. They're not really in the "root for the #1 draft pick and certain players to boost their trade value" mold.

Yes I'd love sustained success going forward and hope GMDM can do it again. We'll see. They got alot of work to do and need to hit with their picks.
Exactly. The Royals have a surplus in my fandom bank account. We are good for a decade or so. Back to back WS? That was amazing.

Greg Bird has started producing a little bit the last few days, which probably hasn't helped.

Angels are pretty much sellers now. Might be down to the Phillies, and we might have to wait on Machado for that. I don't think we have any idea what the Braves are going to do yet.
