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.

How many WS rings does Kershaw have?

I rest my case.

What percentage of our win total this year has come against the Twins?

Without doing the math, my guess is 40%

Using a Dayton Moore crap pick as rationale isn't really helpful.

So I wondered why Oak was going for it, down like 7 games vs Sea for that last (and very lame) final WC. Now they're only 3 back.


Seattle is 60-40 with a +1 run diff. That's like the best ever.


They are +10 games in pythag and +9 in base runs and we aren't even done with July. Record luck pace. Beanie is betting they're about to collapse

Last year, Billy Butler's baseball career ended at the age of 30 and he headed home to Idaho. And then he joined a local softball team called Pharmgrade and just owned the Idaho Falls Parks & Rec men's league: https://t.co/teH4dDROTu

Right? Henry Lake is gone. No idea why the switch happened. Vern was a main radio guy in Milwaukee

I've quit watching until they bench, DFA or trade Escobar. This is ridiculous that he plays in anything other than a back up utility guy role.

Henry Lake got a job offer in Atlanta so he took it..Jay Binkly isn't really cut out to be a full time host anyway.

Why anyone would hire Henry Lake is beyond me. He is below average at everything he does. Yet, probably better than Binkley, who is likable enough, but he is just like an average guy talking on the radio.

I thought Lake was heading back to Minneapolis?

Dear mother of God. They gave that fat fucking retard Ron a promotion. Jesus Christ. That station officialy fell off the deep end.

From what I heard briefly today, I actually liked Vern in that role. They should do Vern + Carrington. Not a big fun of Ron and his takes, although he is quite jovial.

It is when we're still talking about Dayton Moore making this pick. And before anyone says Hoch wasn't Moore's pick... you're foolish to think that he didn't have his hand in it.

Definitely a "stick things to the wall" move, since that station is in trouble.

@jazayerli: A first baseman with a career walk rate of under 4%? Of course they are. 🤦*♂️
