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.

We are 25-60 and we don't even have the worst record in the league. That's almost impressive.

I suppose the Royals will let us know when it's safe to come back to the park.

I'm sure I sound like a broken record, but Seuly Matias the last 10 games:

.059 average (2/34)
18 strikeouts

Too bad A ball doesn't really have anywhere to demote a player to. His only redeeming quality was his power, and that's slowed to a trickle as well.

Dude is 19 years old. You'd probably be best advised to slow down a bit before throwing him off the prospect list.

Worth noting: the Royals went as far over their bonus pool as they can without losing a pick, and paid 75 percent tax on overages from the singer signing(around an extra million bucks).

Maybe that affects some spending in Latin America? Don’t know.

Well at least we're not Baltimore. They apparently avoid IFA by choice. I still don't see an excuse for us to avoid it. We had the largest combined pool between the draft and international players and we're just throwing away half of that equation for nothing. But I guess it was to be expected when we weren't even associated with any of the top players leading up to yesterday.

Royals had the 11th worst hitting month in history by RC+. So in a given year, there have been 20 teams playing 6 months each. By my estimation:

20 teams
6 months
118 years
= 14,160 "team months"



Yep. We just had the 11th worst of 14,160.

They're just resting Moose. He's been out the last couple days because of back spasms.
