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.

Might have to keep an eye on the Rockies/Phillies game. Rockies pitcher German Marquez has 11+ strikeouts in 4 of his last 5 games... and tonight is having a monster start. Struck out the first 8 batters and has 10 K through 4 innings.

Brewers only half a game back. Cubs were up 6 to 2 in the 8th and almost blew it but just walked of 7 to 6. I'm rooting for the Brew crew - get one more win than those Cubs and avoid the wildcard!

Will be fun to see LoCain and Moose back in the postseason. Since the Dbacks choked and since the Royals were long eliminated, might as well back the Brewers. Or A's. God how awesome would it be for the A's to eliminate the Yankees and then upset of the decade the Red Sox?

I’m torn on the Brewers. I’m definitely rooting for them, but I don’t want them to win the division if that means the Cards sneak into the last wild card by winning their next series vs the Cubs.

I've rarely seen a team that's done so little with so much.

Bauer going down hurt, sure. But for most of the year they had the Klubot, Carrasco, Bauer in CY form, and Clevinger as one of the top 25ish pitchers in baseball. Then you have Lindor killing it, Ramirez putting up an MVP caliber year, a huge bounceback season from Brantley and solid complementary players across the board.

How that team isn't a 95+ win squad is beyond me. It isn't even that guys are underperforming - they're not. Individual players on that team are having extraordinary years. They just don't win as many games as they should somehow.

They're the anti-Rays.
