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.

Weird to be on the winning end of a trade for the first time in a minute.

Brett Phillips #10 prospect for Brewers;
Brett Phillips, OF — Hit: 45 || Power: 50 || Run: 55 || Arm: 80 || Field: 55 || Overall: 50 (Last: #5)

Jorge Lopez no longer listed as top 30 prospect in the organization.

80 for an arm? The K is a great place for that. He's hitting .173 in the minors currently, so you know, there's that.

Alex Gordon will have this kid batting .175 in the Majors in no time.

Lopez is intriguing. 25 year old reliever with a 3.2 ERA in 31 mlb innings. Not bad.

I don't think that's correct. That's his mlb BA.

I never thought we'd be able to pull off a trade like this for Moose. I figured we'd just take a flier on a low level prospect, especially in this trade market. Rentals were getting nothing. Phillips needs ABs, and he legit has a rocket launcher for a right arm. I believe he's the only prospect in the minors that MLB.com gave an 80 grade for arm strength. As much as the Royals value defense it's easy to see why they like him.

Lopez was once considered a prospect but has fallen off a bit the last couple years. Not bad at all.

Maybe another trade piece next year if he is performing well?

Good arm, but has sucked his entire life in the minors. Maybe he can be a bullpen piece though. I love getting Phillips though. CF of the future. What we wish Bubba Starling could have been.
