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.

Yet another Royals pitcher shits the bed in the first inning.

For the Royals, it should be called the FIST inning.

Hammel is really soft. Reminds me of Hoe-Chaser when he was a starter. Pitches just bad enough to lose.

42 Games in (~25% of the season complete) and we have one starting pitcher (Jake Junis) under 4.98 ERA. ONE

And if you're the Royals, how do you respond down by 3 runs? By Jon Jay being thrown out at 2B after tagging up at first on a fly ball to LF, with power-hitting Moose and Salvy up next.

Anyone know if there projects to be any decent talent at the top of the 2019 MLB draft? It would be nice to have a decent payoff in the form of a Lindor or Correa type or at least something better than trash like Starling.

Swept. This team is just bad.

Hammel is 0-5.

The Yanks are going to abuse these turds.

13-30.

On pace for 49 wins.

Seriously though, I'm guess 60-102

Because of baseball, we will probably sweep the Yankees.

It's getting seriously difficult to maintain any sort of interest. They are lifeless and the lineup is punch less. Gordon had shown signs of life and now is reverting to 2017 form. Players are coming up injured and starting pitching is terrible.

Trying to remember 2014 and 2015...
