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.

I wasn't opposed to signing him like we did...but was concerned we were seeing a flash and not something long term. He still isn't a bad pitcher but he isn't a #1.

this team has just become un-****ing-bearable to watch. I will always be a Royals fan but this has to be one of the worst teams I have ever seen. Or to be more accurate, one of the worst pitching staffs I have ever seen. Our offense leaves a ton to be desired though as well. 2 runs a game come July should be enough to clean house. That includes Moore and Yost.

Didn't think Ryan or Rex were going to say it, but that looked like an intentional HBP to Gordon. Didn't really look like one that got away at all.

Weeknight games are best.
Can confirm. Weeknights games are the best, especially against a shitty opponent. I sat there in 2015 against Cleveland, and it was for $250 per ticket, which is great value for 2015 on a weeknight. Fridays and weekends is usually north of $350.

But do keep in mind the cost of the food is included in your ticket. All you can eat buffet.

Bottom of the 10th, leadoff man on and you let Jay swing away instead of bunt?

Of course he hits right into a DP...


good call, Ned

I'm just glad Ned played for the big inning in the bottom of the 10th instead of playing for the 1 run we needed...
