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.

610 was reading tweets from people and dear mother of jeebus, the masses are idiots. So much anger over a pretty bad back up catcher.

It's nice to at least see some contributions from the young guys lately. Even again tonight, Dozier, O'Hearn, Mondesi, now Gallagher all doing something out there.

Also another good start from Keller.

I would have no problem running this lineup out there next year. Just start Soler over Phillips and Gallagher backs up Salvy. I would like to see them at least shore up the pen though via trade or FA.

Speaking of... holy O'Hearn. Just did it again. Guy is hitting with some serious pop. Now 3-5 with 4 RBI tonight, plus 7 HR in 21 games.

Seriously, O'Hearn almost has half as many HR/RBI as Hosmer in 111 less games.

So.... did I hear the radio broadcast correctly tonight when they said that Whit was the oldest player on the roster now? Is that really right or did I have whiskey in my ear?

Hosmer was hanging around in my fantasy draft about 50 spots beyond where his rank suggested he should be picked, so I pulled the trigger on him. One of the worst picks I've ever made. That contract is going to go down as one of the worst in baseball history. Mike Hampton-level bad.

Butera will probably always own the greatest walk in Royals history.

FWIW - as much as I can remember in the midst of my 15-year-old sexual angst haze - this is what it felt like in '85. Every year that went by you appreciate what happened more, and that no one can ever take it away.

Until about 10 years later then it starts to get sad. After 20 years later you become convinced losing has always happened and will always happen.
