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.

Junis, Keller, Duffy are three solid looking SP for next year's rotation. You've got some bullpen arms in AAA that should be ready to go. I like Phillips a LOT. Dozier's been a lot better of late. Mondesi has been better. I don't expect O'Hearn to continue THIS pace, but let's see if he bottoms out or just to a solid bat. Whit's a solid veteran. If Soler's healthy, and Goodwin's your 4th OF... I'm telling you guys, they could be shouting distance of .500 as soon as next year.

Phillips offers the potential for plus defense in CF with a .260/.350/.475 slash line. He’s younger than Goodwin and was a higher regarded prospect.

Goodwin is a fine 5th Of to have around because he can play any spot and is a LH bat (giving you 2 RH AND 3 LH bats which is a good mix). But I don’t expect much of him.
Phillips is the re-incarnate of Alex Gordon.

Phillips is such a character. If he turns into what we hope he's going to be a fan favorite.

#1 pick is probably gone, but at least the kids are starting to show some life.

I'm hoping the 2nd pick is just as good as the 1st pick.

It often is, unless there’s a generational talent like ARod or Chipper or Harper.

The biggest difference is probably the draft money.

Whit Merrifield is a god, maybe not thee god, at least I don't think.

Wish we could have PH Butera for him or something and lost the game though
