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.

There is no bullpen to bail out this strategy. There is no temp suppression in HR either.

This team has nothing to do with the '14 and '15 teams.

I think advanced metrics are useful, but obviously incomplete if they can't take into account different approaches.

Which affiliate is in the Carolina League? If it's the team with Seuly Matias, I can only assume they're leading the league in strikeouts and lowest batting average.

Your weird hatred of Seuly Matias as a prospect is weird.

Player A - 19 | 22 HR, .805 OPS, 9 % walk rate
Player B - 19 | 5 HR, .734 OPs, 14% walk rate
Player C - 19 | 52 HR, .908 OPS, 9 % walk rate

Matias is one of those three players, and it probably is pretty obvious (stats for him are pace stats). The other 2 were also royals prospects at full season A ball at age 19. He needs to work on cutting strikeouts down, for sure. But there’s no reason to call him out as a sign of problems with the Royals system. Plenty of other targets for that...

@RoyalsFarm: According to @BaseballAmerica, the Royals have signed SS prospects Wilmin Candelario and Omar Florentino to international free agent deals. Both are switch hitters. Candelario is as smooth a defender as I’ve seen at his age. Omar Florentino was BA’s #18 overall int’l FA Prospect.

Real prize internationally is victor victor Mesa (Not to be confused with his bro victor Mesa jr), a Cuban defector who probably is a day 1 top 50 prospect.

Royals might have enough in their pool for him... orioles have the most and are best positioned... but never spend internationally.

He’s a really top end prospect and probably ready for assignment to High A or AA.

Profile sounds similar to Victor Robles. From what I’ve read, he’d be top 50 on most lists immediately and could be top 20 by year end if he hits the ground running.

I rail on Moore for bad drafting, but stuff like Zimmer is just bad luck. Hopefully we're about to have some things start going our way again.

Brad Keller has taken over for Jake Junis as the 2018 “only reason I’m still watching” recipient. We have control of him until 2024 which is super nice. Let’s just hope he doesn’t pull an Andy Sisco (great rookie year on a historically bad Royals team who then proceeded to do nothing).
