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.

Duffy was not on anything at the time of the BK drive-thru incident. He was blood-tested and the alcohol was the only thing found, or he would have faced more severe punishment.

Those whispers are just that - whispers.

KC is on the hook for the contract unless they find someone willing to take it. There’s no win for KC to simply move him in a salary dump.

His value was at a peak entering 2017, and they could have traded him then, but kept him to try to take another shot at winning.

If KC is going to do a pure salary dump of a starter, it should be someone like Ian Kennedy who doesn’t have enough upside to make you a big loser in the deal on the back end of it.

They should dump them both for nothing, if they even can.

I’ll buy that on Kennedy. You’re not going to get anything for him and if you can find someone to take on some of the contract, it is worthwhile.

With Duffy, there’s still more upside - and risk that comes with it- in just flat dumping him. He’s still just a good first half or good year away from being someone you can get value for.

The front office can survive overpaying Duffy for a few years while the team is not competitive. What it could not survive is dumping him for nothing and then seeing him perform well for another team.

Not much risk of that with Kennedy... at this point.

You'd almost certainly have to give up something of decent value to get someone to take Kennedy's contract. I'm not optimistic about that at all.

Hopefully he’s gone after this year and they just commit to going young. He’s going to be cheap and likely obtainable on a minor league deal next year.

With Whit likely back and Lopez looking ready doesn't he pretty much have to be gone? You have Herrera as a utility guy.

You would think so. But they’re loyal to him.

I was fine with bringing him back this year. They wanted to make Mondesi prove it and thought he needed it for his development. Can’t really argue with that so far.

Hopefully Whit is not back, Mondesi and Lopez can man the middle. And yes, I'm assuming we get a rather large return for him. Herrera can be the utility IF guy, and we have other cheap options that can fill in.

If they do bring Whit back, we have a pretty solid IF. Whit/Lopez @ 3B, Mondesi at SS, Whit/Lopez at 2B. I see no reason why Lopez/Whit can't play 3b. Whoever has stronger arm out of Whit/Lopez should play it, which I would imagine is Lopez. Ideally Hunter Dozier will play like the Hunter Dozier in the last 3 weeks but I'm not counting on it.

I wasn't fine with it and you shouldn't have been either, he's a negative WAR player. If your point is you wanted him to block Mondesi for a bit, that's fine, but you can go get a diff vet SS to do that.

You're full of shit because you're throwing out unfounded rumors as fact.

Technically no, I live in the KC Metro area. And this is the first time I've heard of it. Probably because it's bullshit.
