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.

All these guys make mistakes. Just look at Twitter... Maddon, Roberts. Buck Showalter is supposed to be the best and he got destroyed for not using Britton in the playoffs in a year when he had like a 0.50 ERA, basically the best relief season ever. Literally every team's fans hates their manager.

I have never argued that Ned is the ultimate tactician but during those playoff runs he at least learned from his mistakes and didn't repeat them, while making a fair number of smart moves. I actually think that was a contributor to the team's success.

Yeah I don’t disagree with that.

Now that I live in Colorado it was tough to see his horrible stretch in August. People rightfully regretted the signing and wanted him benched.

It was awesome to see him turn it on in September, though. He was aces and absolutely clutch down the stretch, ending up with the NL lead in saves. I’d love for him to channel 2015 Wade with a new team to keep his legend going.

TV execs would hate it, but I’d love a Brewers/Rockies - A’s World Series.

Managers are like politicians. Even the best ones eventually become stale and term limits are required. Ned Yost is the Orrin Hatch of the Kansas City Royals.
