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.

They may rotate Soler and Boni between RF/DH. I don't see them playing much together.

So because I have an extremely pessimistic view on the team the next few years, and I'm extremely against the possible viewpoint that we're closer to contending than we really are, I should just stop posting or having an opinion? Are those attacking me too ignorant to actually argue against my viewpoints instead of attacking me personally? I have strong disagreements with people on here, but I don't think you see me attacking anyone personally. I don't expect a message board to be a beacon of intellectual thought, but I also didn't expect it to be full of mouth breathers who can't form an argument without attacking someone (ad hominem arguments).

Barring trades, injuries and additional roster construction, etc., it's not a bad plan to have Boni, Soler, Gordon and Goodwin occupying the 3 OF spots and DH. Each should get enough at-bats. Plus, Phillips has options and could just start in Omaha.

The current bullpen has so much to dislike, but I'm of the belief that they are sitting at about somewhere between the 2010 and 2011 bullpens...a few guys you're excited about (Newberry, McCarthy and probably Flynn...maybe Jason Adam).

Outside of that, there's a good probability it will slowly over-hauled towards internal talent and/or trades over the next 2 years...much like what happened in 2012-2013. While not a sure thing, I'm bullish on our developing bullpen as guys like Lovelady, Staumont and Marte push for promotion, hopefully. There are also several exciting arms in the lower minors that could move up quickly as well.

I've enjoyed watching the Royals a lot these past few years, including this year. It's a lot easier watching a rebuilding process when your team got so much out of its last two playoff runs. Having Whit and Mondesi up the middle is a big strength and something to build around. We still have a lot of question marks. We might be able to compete in a couple of years. Still, the product the Royals are putting on the field is watchable to old Royals fans such as myself, even with the baserunning mistakes at 3rd base yesterday in a disappointing loss.

The Royals affiliate Lexington Legends are tied 1-1 in the best-of-five South Atlantic League (Class A full-season) championship. Next game is tonight.

He also posted how he hoped Johnny Cueto got shot in the head or something to that effect back when Cueto was struggling with us. I can't be the only one who remembers that.
