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.

The Brewers beat the Indians tonight, so every team in the AL Central now has a losing record. That's pretty ugly for being almost at the quarter mark. The Twins are actually hot right now and they're still 15-17.

If things continue to trend this way is Boni the DH when he gets back?

The AL Central may put a sub .500 into the playoffs. Probably not but it would be fun to see the baseball talking heads meltdown.

They are a bad bunch of baseball teams.

Indians will fatten up on games against the rest of the division soon enough. They're certainly not great but will still win into the high 80's at least.

The ump did have a pretty tight strikezone.

Of course he's shitty. There's no argument about that.

But on the first hitter, when that comment was made, two pitches called balls were right on the edge of the strike zone. You'd think at 15-3 in the 9th everyone involved, including the ump, would be looking to wrap things up as soon as possible.

Oh I know. I agree with you on the first batter, but Boyer was so frustrating to watch last night. The game was 15-3, both teams just wanted to go home, and he's out there just trying to nibble the corners and bottom part of the zone, which was not being given all night.

I'm also sick of watching him come into games.

Nick Ahmed hit an Inside the Parker yesterday. Watch and visualize the outcome had Gordo been waved home (still think he's out by 30 feet).

Jon Jay needs to be the guy released when Boni comes back from his suspension. I've watched him strike out as the last batter twice in the last week with the tying run on third in the 9th inning. He cannot clutch hit. Period. And he has the longest no homer streak of any active MLB player. And he's a shitty outfielder. He's Emil Brown. Cut him.

Soler now 12th in OPS. Maybe on his way to being the best position player since Brett?

GMDM needs to be involved in intially despised Wade Davis trades more often.
