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.

I’m not going to root for them to lose. If they lose, so be it. But I’m not going to feel bad about them winning.

Same. I don't pull for my team to lose. Ever. Plus, show me the evidence that the Royals won't fuck their top draft pick anyway.

What if told you your cheering for them doesnt influence the outcome of the games? Just enjoy the ****ing games and if we suck bad enough we get the 1st pick if not we get the 2nd. As pointed out there is no Harper so it is what it is.

JFC this thread has been infected with a bunch of Eeyore acting mother ****ers.

Just no words man!

No, that actually seems like a decent move. Former first round pick. He had a nice offensive season last year, and it looks like the only reason he wasn't playing was because of that roster crunch. He's 27 and under control through 2022.
:-)

Awh hell,let's just win 77 more in a row! Piss off our resident losers!

I hope my quick math is correct!

Love the wins. Don't ever want to fall into losers mentality. That happened to us once

You CAN become a loser franchise. And who wants 109 losses?

I don't want to lose 99 because we played Duda and hammel and Alcodes obv, but I'd like to avoid 100 if young guys prevent it

I definitely don't want to lose 100 games or Dane will come back here and tell us he was right.

It doesn't matter what the Royals do, he'd still come back and say he was right.

So Josh Vernier is no longer the Royals insider (now hosting 10am show with Ron Hughley) and has been replaced by Jay Binkley.

So they stuck the football guy on the Royals pre and post game shows? Good thinking.

A couple of wins is how this team got Christian Colon and not Manny Machado, just remember that.

Yeah, and it's how the Dodgers got Clayton Kershaw instead of Hochevar
