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.

Hey, i just looked and see the Royals have the worst record in baseball as well as the worst point differential by 40 runs.

I'm might just be a dumb ole retired pig farmer but I'd say it's time to clean house with the management. From Yost down at least.

That’s a shame but if Witt Jr is the top guy by a wide margin then it’s imperative that the Royals get the top pick.

Meanwhile, Herrera has a 4.05 ERA and a 5.35 FIP with the Nats...

Something worth keeping an eye on, for sure.

It really hasn't been a great year for a lot of former Royals. Wade Davis hasn't been good. I know Dodger fans haven't been thrilled with Scott Alexander. Hosmer is doing alright but he's not really putting up All-Star numbers fitting to his contract. He's on pace to hit about 16 HR with 60-70 RBI. Jason Vargas has been absolutely horrible.

The only guys doing well are Cain, who is currently hurt... and Soria, who is having a real nice season for the White Sox.

Yep. We just had the 11th worst of 14,160.

I didn't disagree on going for it but the fact we traded that guy for piñata Cahill and awful Maurer will never be cool.

They're absolutely killing the Royals. It would be so much BETTER to be a lifelong fan of the Cleveland Indians.
So how many games have you gone to lately? How many do you even watch?

If you love being a Royals fan so much, you'll watch their games

ERA now up to 4.70 after today's game.

Perhaps it's getting adjusted to the change in scenery.. but he was trending this way toward the end.

As much as I'd hate moose to be a Yankee, this is the team I'd want to trade with since they have good talent. Moose would rake at that park.

That is the perfect type of team to trade with re: Moustakas. They have an embarrassment of riches in their farm system. Even though you won’t get a top, top guy, they have been stockpiling talent and if you dig into the lower levels could come away with a real gem.
