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.

He should be playing and hitting every day, especially against a hard-throwing young pitcher like Lopez.

Meanwhile in 7 out of Duffys last 10 starts he has given up 1 run or less. Any interest maybe brewing from other clubs?

Article about Jose Ramirez being a boss. Chances of ever having such an article written about a Royals hitter? I'd say slim to none. We haven't had a truly great hitter since the days of Dye, Damon, Sweeney, and Beltran. It's also amazing how we had all that talent then and still couldn't win. But, at least the front office then could find some real talent at the plate on occasion.

So a single player means it isn't worse? Moore already had Greinke, Butler, and Gordon when he took over.

It's actually the opposite.

The Royals had those three players and then a barren wasteland after.

The Royals system now is significantly deeper than it was in 2006.

Well I hope you're right, but I have my doubts. I still think we're lacking in a lot of depth.

I will concede that compared to other current teams, yes.

But I don't think it's a stretch to say the 2006 Royals were one of the worst systems in history. That system was on the heels of the "$1000 draft", where Glass would only sign players after Round (3?) to $1000 deals if they wanted to be on the Royals. That doesn't even touch how the Royals had zero presence in Latin America and that their international scouting was a mess at best and non-existant at worst. That system was a special kind of trainwreck.

The fact that it is even a discussion that Allard Baird's farm system and Dayton Moore's are even close to each other speaks to the poor job Moore's has dine over the last what 7 years? Even if you believe bin the last 2 classes there is really no excuse that after over 10 years the system has fallen to this level again.

Let's also remember how much more money Moore has been allowed to spend that Baird ever was on any and everything. This year's Mlb team is worse than anything Baird assembled at about 5 times the cost.

It's an apples and oranges comparison.

Oh what a travesty the Dayton Moore era of four straight seasons of competitive baseball, two pennants and one championship ring has brought Kansas City fans.
