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.

Royals win. Gordon is hitting a little, that's good. Our starting pitching has been OK, although the only starter with a winning record is Junis. Hammel and Duffy are both still winless.

Wow, I had to go pick up the grandsons from school, and missed Soler's 441 ft HR.

Junis has pitched well enough to win a couple of games. Duffy has been rancid

This is the player we hoped they were adding last season.

The patience and power are a great combination, and the weight he lost has helped with his flexibility and reach. He’s getting that little extra extension he needs to get out in front of balls on the outer half and make hard, lofted contact to LF.

Not a playoff team, but it’s nice to see them at least competing every day. Salvys dust up against the shit Sox seems to have given them a spark.

Salvy got a lot of criticism league wide for that.

But those young guys saw a World Series MVP protect them. May have done something in the locker room.

Feel bad for the guy. Loves being a royal, wants to be here, but inconsistent and definitely not an ace. More like a #3... hopefully he can turn it around and put up a 4 era and be trade bait since he isn't that young anymore.

Salvys a prideful guy and he had probably had it with seeing the White Sox walk all over us. The guy running his mouth after the home run was likely the last straw. You gotta love him for it.

Happy Star Wars Day! Celebrate by knowing that Brandon Maurer is no longer on the 40-man roster; he was outrighted to Omaha yesterday (meaning he passed through waivers and, shockingly, nobody claimed him).

Maurer in AAA: 8 IP, 13 H, 12 ER, 7 BB, 11 K, 13.50 ERA

I wish someone would have claimed Maurer. Man, he stinks.

The really good news is that Lee, Matias, and Pratto and Melendez are all playing well.

Gigliotti tore his ACL, so that’s less-good news.

I’m excited to see what they do in the draft. Add a few high upside arms and/or a dynamic center fielder, and it could get really interesting in a few years with the home-grown talent.
