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.

How long do you think we'll have Scott Barlow until he gets traded for cash like Scott Alexander?

I'd trade Scott Barlow to another team if the other team agrees to take Kennedy also.

Who cares how much the owner spends? Salary dumps vs getting prospects, I'll go with prospects, especially in year 1 of a rebuild. Those contracts will end before our team gets good.

I just hope they don't **** up the next TV contract, or that we're not too late. Our current contract is laughable.

Well it's been reported that Tampa was negotiating a TV contract to pay around $82 million a year, so I'm not sure why that ship has sailed.

Martinez was a mistake, as discussed last week, but he also was in independent ball before his breakthrough 2015 season at Omaha. It’s not like the guy was a youngster who came through the system and got overlooked.
Yes, but I still find it crazy they just gave up on a dude that damn near hit .400 in AAA. And look at that, he's a .300 hitter in MLB.

If it wasn't for the MLB All Star rule that every team must have a representative, would the Royals have anyone deserving? Maybe Herrera?

Blaine Boyer on the DL with a "back strain."

Apparently strained from turning around to see all his pitches flying off and over the fences.

Absolutely. Herrera, then Moose.

If both of them are traded? Soler followed by, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, Gordo (Junis would be a candidate also).

They probably wouldn't have anyone if it weren't for the rule. Herrera would be the best shot and will probably be the lone representative this year.

With the Yankees and Red Sox being good again and the Astros winning the WS last year, their votes will outpace a lot of people and rightly so on a lot of them.
