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.

And now Dozier with an absolute bomb. Our infielders are on fire.

The Royals are now the only team in baseball to score five runs or more in 9 straight games this year. Baseball.

You're incredibly delusional if you think this past week has changed our outlook at all. We're still losing 90+ next year.

Why was Ian Kennedy allowed into the Whit dogpile sat PM? Why didn't they shove him back towards the dugout, he's contributed jack squat

It’s probably short lived, but man O’Hearn can hit the long ball. Here’s to hoping the bullpen forget they’re the Royals and don’t screw up a 5-0 gem by Junis.

There it is. Encouraging game for the future today.

Junis is pitching well too. Over his last 6 starts:

3-1 record, 38 IP, 30 H, 5 BB, 39 K, 1.89 ERA

Meanwhile, in former Royal now Padre news today.

Wil Myers trashed talked his manager (Andy Green) on a live video game stream for making the team do extra defensive drills last night, and there's rumors Eric Hosmer got in a screaming match with Andy in the locker room recently.
