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.

Ok. The fact you actually had to have that question answered for you shows me that you're utterly retarded. Either that or dropping $100 on a president who turned around and took a drizzling shit on your xenophobic face.

Amazing that a franchise who is near the top in 100 loss seasons over the last 50 years is going to finish with the worst record in franchise history and STILL not get the top pick. Reminds me of the Chiefs finally getting the top pick when Eric Fisher was the #1 guy. Kansas City can’t even suck correctly.

Top 3 in the PGC:

CJ Abrams 2B - fastest player in the class
Jerrion Ealy CF - incredible athlete
Bobby Witt Jr SS - #1 player in the class
Daniel Espino SP - best arm in the class
Corbin Carroll CF - MVP

I have no idea what these numbers mean:

Man Ryan Madson just gave up a walkoff grand slam to the Cubs in the bottom of the 9th. Went from up 3-0 to a 4-3 loss. That's about as dramatic as it gets.

Pretty amazing. I made my wife watch the at bat and it happened, so plus points for me?

I'm watching game 1 of the '15 WS right now and they just a montage of all of Madson's homers in the playoffs to that point. Not pretty.

But he gutted it out during the WS when we needed him. And he kept battling and got out of 2nd and 3rd one out in the Houston game when no one thought it mattered.

Holy crap just watched the highlight - is that Vasgersian doing the call? Maybe he's just terrible luck for Madson. He absolutely crushed that thing. He knew it instantly - was flipping his bat before his backswing finished.

And holy shit Chris Young - our unsung MVP that postseason. How many times did we need him to just hold on and he delivered?

Madson literally gave up a walk off GS as you posted this.

Knowing the Royals, and 1st round picks they'll fuck it up. Typically it's much harder to fuck up the overall #1 pick, though.

One has to wonder what was gained by "this year"?

TBH, I've not followed the Royals closely enough to be able to say it was a complets waste of a year and our young players look sad, or this was just that bad year we had to get through while our future league stars learned this level of the game.

Does anybody have any thoughtful opinions, either way?
