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.

there are guys at AAA that were good enough to call up, but they didn't to save the year of control. I expect they'll start next year in the bigs. I expect the pen will be better next year regardless; the big question is starting pitching, which has looked much better the last month or so.

I don't think I'd rank us as a team ready to compete, but as bad as our division looks it wouldn't probably take much to make a leap within the division. Four of the five teams are basically rebuilding and the team who looked in the best shape just lost their top pitching prospect for next year.

I think the real question is the bullpen. If they build a decent bullpen at all we should definitely avoid 100 losses but if it's Maurer and Boyer types we won't be very good.

I'm not saying it's a play-off team, but could very well be a .500-ish squad that's in the conversation due to a weak division until late August/early September.

There were a few relievers doing very well at AAA that they didn't waste a year of service at the MLB level due to it being a lost season. I expect they'll start the season in KC...and you know...it's not an extreme reach to see meaningful August baseball next year.

Tonight's trivia question is hard. Most recent season with 2 rookies with 10 and more home runs?

Mondesi has played like a legit 15 HR/50 SB player since about the beginning of July.

Whit has a shot to push 15 HR/40 SB this year. That's quite the middle infield.

I think I already said this but it is nice that O'Hearn at-least looks the part of a masher. We had Butler (Fat) Moose (Fat but big ass for power) and Hosmer (bean pole) nice to

Can we officially retire the fake news Moore "knows how to build a bullpen"?
