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.

There are no comp pick players who will be free agents on this team.

No one worth the qualifying offer is coming up to free agency.

Tiny Tim Collins hadn't pitched since 2014.


He's back in the bigs with the Nats now.



Congrats Tiny Tim

Not the worst idea. Might as well throw the Storm Chasers at Detroit.

Seems kind of racist against the traditionally poorer Latin American countries. There should just be ONE draft IMO. What is the obstacle in doing that? There is no reason a talented player from Latin American shouldn't command the same signing bonus of an American player of the same talent level.

Pratto received 3.5M no problem.

Baseball does a game like this at the Little League World Series. Makes sense to do it at the College World Series as well.

Might as well just start playing at the Little K.

Royals have only won ten home games this year. That's pretty awful.

Not horrible given the record and the fact that isnt some up and coming team. Just a bunch of old dudes on the way out the door for the most part. No reason to watch really.

A few years ago you claimed KC was more of a baseball town than a football town.

Kansas City is the lowest on this list of any division winner in the NFL.

They drew an average of 66,861 fans per game this season, which equated to an 88 percent full rate at home, and 96 percent full on the road.

Was reading this article about the 2015 run. Escobar led the team in hits in the postseason, hitting 23 times with a .329 batting average, 15 game hitting streak.

I forgive you for sucking Escobar. You were good when it mattered.
