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.

Yep, for sure. But his performance is not meaningless. Before this, based on his terrible year at AAA, he was a non-prospect. Now, there is an outside chance he's a .750-.800 OPS guy for us next year.

He can provide the same numbers as Hos did.

It’s interesting to look back at Wil’s trade now in retrospect.

Padres fans are very frustrated with Wil, apparently the defensive practice was made after he made three errors in one game. He’s developed a reputation of getting “bored” and taking multiple games off per season. Fans were hoping he’d blossom into a “team leader” with his 80m deal. But he’s openly said he’s not that type of player (leading in large part to Hos’ deal).

Is the TV contract renewal this offseason? If so finishing strong with a lot of promising young players could help.

I always kind of felt like he swung out of his shoes going for personal glory over the unselfish base hit.

Bullshit - that's just posturing. No one believes that.

Studies show... just about anything. Is beef good or bad for me in 2018? I forget.

The TV contract runs out after next year. There's been reports that negotiations for a new one have started happening but nothing concrete yet. I imagine the benefits will kick in after next year. But I also think that's a huge reason why Dayton keeps trying to put out the idea that they're planning to compete next year. They don't want to go into multi million dollar negotiations saying "oh yeah! we're not going to compete until 2021!"

Hmmm . . . . .

Royals go to game 7 in 2014 W.S. and lose. (29 years after last W.S. Title)

Dodgers repeat the Royals feat in 2017. (also 29 years after their last W.S. Title)

In 2015, Royals return and win it all.


Your move, Dodgers . . . . . .
