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.

Spend 2019 taking a long look at all these prospects. Hopefully they give us marginal improvement in our pitching. After 2019 we can buy out Gordon's contract and perhaps make a couple moves that will put us in a position to actually compete with other teams again.

2020 season is when this misery should subside.
I still think you're a little early on that.

I remember when people were calling Mondesi a bust at age 21. Now already at 1 WAR after 23 games this year.

@FlannyMLB: Lucas Duda, who could be the next Royal to be traded, has a home run and three RBIs today.

One trade is not indicative of a plan or a trend, but it does fit in with the draft heavy on college players. How do we feel about them possibly trying to expedite the rebuild? I think it's a mistake if they're passing up on higher upside talent for more major league ready players.

Would someome actually give up a prospect for Duda?

I wish Duffy was pitching well enough for someone to offer up something for him.

It's certainly possible, although we wouldn't get much. He'd be a good bench piece for a contender.

For pitchers yes they should take college pitchers because they are not good at developing pitchers at least to this point.

Bats is subjective the Cubs drafted college bats and it worked.

Nobody called him a bust. They just questioned wtf the Royals were doing bringing him up so early.
