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 mean, he hits HRs but he literally only had one year in that range where he managed an OBP over .300. His career OPS+ is 98 with a .267/.298/.439 slash line. It's safe to say what makes Perez an All-Star when he's having a genuinely bad year is not his bat.

A C with an ops+ of 98 is way better than the typical C. (Collectively they're an 84 this season and avg 88 last 5 years).


Over the past 5 years Only Posey, Martin, Lucroy, Molina more valuable. Only Posey was way higher. Sal has been worth 2-3 net wins per year. Considering we made the WC by 2 games in 2014......

Perez’s offensive numbers also suffer from being continually played into the ground by Ned Yost. His second half numbers typically have cratered when KC has been good.

If used correctly - 4.5 games a week at catcher, 1 at DH, 1.5 off - his bat would hold up better over the course of the year, IMO.

This was much more eloquently succinct than what I was about to right. Rep.

Interesting article on Bubba Starling and potential lack of motivation.

People were saying it was likely his last at bat in KC, as that was our last home game before the deadline.

Yes, roll him out there every night and then, for the love of God, shoot him into the sun at the end of the season.

Before we get too carried away expecting too big of a return on Moose, apparently the Braves view him as a platoon or bench player.
