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.

Kris Bryant is having shoulder issues, could be an option for Moustakas.

Trades are starting to heat up. Soria, Oh, and Happ both appear to be on the move today. Any predictions on who we think will be traded? I think we'll get some low level guys for Moose and Duda may be traded for an insignificant return. I don't see Merrifield or Duffy going anywhere, we're probably overvaluing our own players as usual.

Doubt it. The Cubs have Ian Happ and David Bote to backup.

I remember dealing Soria and Alexander and cash for prospects. I hope Mejia and Oaks are balling out.

We'd be doing a lot better in trades if we would eat some salary. New TV contract and Gordon/Kennedy contracts expiring can't come soon enough.

The Nats are beginning to weigh their options as sellers and are having conversations about dealing Herrera.

Would be interesting to compare the returns if it comes to pass.

Are the Nats dudes we got Rule V eligible, i.e. 40-man spot sponges ?

Believe Gutierrez might be. Other 2 are not.

It is. They’re going to get swept. And that’s fine.

Key tonight is going to be them moving Moustakas.

@JeffPassan: Cole Hamels to the Cubs is done, pending medicals, sources tell Yahoo Sports.

Sneaky deal for Cubs. Hamels has been good away from Texas. Goes to the easier league and picks up an elite defense behind him.

In unrelated news, Seuly Matias has 2 more HR tonight. Now 29 on season.
