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 guess they can load up on potential bats in the international market, plus their best prospects are almost all bats. This makes sense, and glad they stayed away from high school arms.

Our farm system, in 4 picks, has gotten significantly better tonight. That’s all you can ask for, really.

I’m really surprised. There were a lot of HS arms and position players the Royals were connected to, available, and they bypassed them all.

Will be interesting to see what’s left at #58.

Marten Gasparini will be a panacea to any and all concerns about the offense.

And they went away from their traditional setup in doing all this. Heavy on college arms.

That Bubic kid? Funky delivery and all? Can’t see them drafting him five years ago. Kowar’s delivery also might have precluded him.

They got a top 5 and top 20 talent in Singer and Kiera, and the other two are interesting as well.

I cant believe Duncan doesn't want a prospect for Salvy. This team would be setup nicely in 3 years.

International signing period coming up should be exciting as well.

Not that it matters too much, but I'd be extremely pleased if our farm system could enter 2019 around #20 or better in baseball, with a jump into the top 10 by 2020.

I’m not opposed to trading Perez, just know what type of offer it would take.

They don’t move him just to get “A” pick unless it’s a legitimate top 5-10 prospect in all of baseball.

I would listen. But the price would be high.

Perez is 28 years old, is playing like he has 30-40 HR power right now, and is throwing out 50% of runners. You literally aren't going to find anyone better to work with any of these young pitchers, save Yadier Molina, but Perez is in that class. I wouldn't say he's completely off limits, but it better be for more than just "a prospect." Trading off a great player for a lottery ticket when you have them under contract cheap is not always smart.

And signed very cheap and is the face of the franchise. Would be a dumb move on the organization's part, which is why Billay thinks its good.
