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.

That depends, if they are stubborn ****s like Hosmer and Moustakas have proven to be I'd be less likely to promote them quickly, we don't need more dudes who don't listen to the hitting coach cause hey my brother knows it man.

It's not really rocket science, 3 month rentals don't get much, 3 year rentals do. I'm surprised they gave up Mejia but they get to add a really good piece to their pen while they have still have guys like Lindor, etc.


I understand but their #1 prospect?!?!?

He's a catcher and apparently Cleveland had decided he wasn't replacing the 2 guys on their roster because of his defense.

Man. This is coming like a tidal wave. Some of Lucas Giolito's old tweets surfaced today.

I'm also not that excited about someone with raw power and not much else. IMO that has little value in Kauffman stadium where a player has to be able to get on base consistently.
why do you need to be such a downer?

Usually hearing that a team gave up a top 100 prospect for 2 relievers makes people double take it just does.

Maybe if you haven't been paying attention to recent trends in trades and playoff success.

Same reason I was hoping the Cubs would have traded Wade Davis to someone like the Nationals last year when it was 100% clear the Cubs weren't the best team in the NL. They supposedly had internal discussions about it but didn't have the balls to do it.

Better a downer than an asshole. I'm being a realist, not attacking others for their opinion like you.

Bubba Starling is out with another ****ing injury, likely for the rest of the season. They need to move on, what a complete waste.

He didn't even get hurt playing....just another one of the bad draft picks in that time frame.

From Christian Colon through what Ashe Russell just a number of years of wasted picks.
