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.

Lol I was just thinking - why don't I ever hear of any big blockbuster draft trades?

:-) Viloria with a bat flip for his first hit. He did smash it though.

They just needed to be mathematically eliminated before they could really hit like pennant champs...

He is probably going to be 2 WAR player which is about what most figured at this point. It was shit between his contract signing and now that was unexpecteded regardless of what revisionist say now.

Some of it is just part of the learning curve though. Guys like Dozier and Mondesi have definitely made adjustments and are looking better. Junis started great, had a terrible stretch and looks like he's turned it around.

Re: trading Merrifield, his value has to be similar to Adam Eaton’s when the White Sox moved him. Whit is older but the years of control are the same, and he’s cheaper.

That means a top 25 prospect and a top 50 prospect are the asking price.

That seems like a tall ask considering how prospects are being valued.

Seems a little much to me. Just ask for two top 100 picks and another lottery pick.

Good thing no one was asking you. That'd be giving him away. He's had 2 really good years and this year is shaping up to be a very very good year. There aren't many really good 2B. You're such an idiot.

I think the Adam Eaton trade is a good call. Merrifield might be slightly older, but he's way more versatile. He can play every position on the field. He also hits for more power, steals more bases and hits for a better average.

If you're giving up 4 years of that for 6 of someone else you better get 2, if not 3, really solid prospects. Honestly I'd want three. You're giving up 4 years of a guy who can hit 40 doubles, 20 HR and 30 SB while hitting for a .300 average.
