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.

PA keeps playing the instrumental of "America [**** Yeah]" during the half innings unless I'm not hearing things correctly.

Looks like Alex Gordon has changed his batting stance? I haven’t watched in weeks. Has it helped?

Absolutely. He's making a late push for a spot on the All-Star team.

If there's a plan GMDM and Ned have working, it's a very illusive plan (to say the least).

The plan at this point is to suck, and suck some more. Get that first pick. FFS Esky has played CF and 3rd base.

Not my expertise. I do know that winning 72-84 games would probably mean jack and shit

There’s not a Harper or Strasbourg in this draft.

Bobby Witt, Jr. is the top guy right now and does have huge potential.

I would be shocked if they cut him but I can see him getting benched. If they are committed to the tank job, then they may as well let him keep playing.

10 playoff appearances in 24 years. We have 2. But yeah, very similar!
Plus, they did the win the World Series as recently as 1948, so they've got THAT going for them.

They're absolutely killing the Royals. It would be so much BETTER to be a lifelong fan of the Cleveland Indians.

The Indians want what we have. 2 World Series titles since 1985. I hope the Indian fans enjoy all those playoff appearances though...
Um, no.

Cleveland has 3 World Series APPEARANCES since 1985.

Their last World Series title was 70 years ago.

You might wanna re-read what you quoted. You're agreeing with him while typing, "Um, no"
