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.

Royals acquired international bonus money from the Rangers. I wonder if this is for the current signing period or next year? It would seem to make zero sense to acquire it for this year considering we probably are nowhere close to the maximum, we hardly signed anyone worthwhile in IFA, and most of the top prospects have already signed elsewhere.

Both of the Mesas are in limbo still, and that money is spendable from now until the next period.

Maybe they’re waiting to spend on one of them or expect another player from Cuba/etc to hit he market over the winter.

They handed out a few medium-sized bonuses and also have to count the 750k they spent on del Rosario and Juan Carlos Negret against this period.

I wonder when it gets to the point that position players are being overused to pitch. Everyone is doing it. The Phillies are on their 2nd position player of the day right now, getting beat 23-4. Granted it's the first game of a doubleheader.

Scott Kingery is pitching for the Phillies right now and he's literally lobbing it at home plate. He's literally throwing so slow it's not registering on the radar gun. This is kind of embarrassing.

I bet you're going to have someone bring up a conversation about having a 10 run or 20 run rule, or some kind of mercy rule, in MLB after that. He was lobbing 30 or 40 mph softballs up there.

Obviously a lot can change, but right now they're saying Victor Victor is likely to go to either Baltimore, Tampa, or Miami.

I kind of like this trend. It's showing a natural limit to the league's new reliance on relievers.
