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.

Actually, studies show players coming off TJ show no diff at all in velocity, and actually have increased results:

Duffy's velocity in 2017 on his fastball was 92.8. This year it is 93.1. Both years were well after TJ. The post wasn't about TJ improving velocity before and after but indicating that velocity drop is an indicator of UCL damage, or maybe you missed the 10mph drop that Ohtani had Sunday night....right after he blew out his elbow.

I never said Duffy's elbow was "shot" and I didn't mention velocity so I don't know what we're even arguing.

His 5/65 was heavily backloaded too. He got 5 this year, with 4/60 left. Given his TJ risk and heavy salary, he's a great bet to be dead money in the future.
You literally bumped this prediction today.

So, what's your point? Is it about his elbow? His velocity shows no indication of UCL damage.

Generally, when people make claims, they offer support for their evidence. You say the problem is his elbow. You offer no support that indicates his elbow is the problem. Then, you misread one of my posts (because you're an imbecile), and now you're claiming that you didn't say anything about his elbow being a problem. That about cover it?

If you're going to argue with people, I'd suggest you learn how to read better and lie less. You'll make an ass out of yourself far less often.

So we have a pitching fWAR of 3.1 (this moved up from last month when it was 2.6). That means we are basically a team of AAAA pitchers. Trevor Oaks-Skoglund types. This means our pitching has been so shitty, we would only be a 68-94 team with a league average offense.



Or: of the 2,512 seasons in MLB history, we are 19th worst. (Our 2006 team was 3rd worst). This puts us in the 99.3% percentile. For those of you who've heard of "Six Sigma", that's 99.7%.

Pratto goes 2-3 with a HR, 1 BB followed by a strong outing by Kowar in the playoffs. 5 ip, 1 ER

Do we think the org told him to work on his hit tool most of the early part of the year (which lead to a lower walk rate & swinging at more difficult pitches to see what he can handle), and now that it's playoffs told him to unleash?

You're right. It's 3-sigma. Ain't nearly enough data points to ever get to 6-sigma calculations.

Has anyone been following the CRAZY story about how one Tigers announcer almost choked out the other in the booth?!

There were times in 2012 where Ryan seemed close to doing that to Hud lol.

Devastating blow for the White Sox tonight. Their ace pitching prospect Michael Kopech needs Tommy John. He is going to be out all of next year and will return in 2020. He was considered one of the top prospects in all of baseball, throws 100 mph and had just been called up to the White Sox.

Should have done it while he had value but whatever.
