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.

You have to ****ing sell tickets in baseball. Salvy has more value for the Royals than any prospects he would fetch.

The myth that won't die^

We were 7 games over and leading the WC by 1 game on the July 31 deadline last year. We brought in the PadrAIDS and collapsed, but there was plenty of good logic to go for it one more year with our core. They'd earned the right

I was hoping for some decent returns at the trade deadline to speed up the rebuild. I guess that isn't happening. This is probably going to be another 6-7 year rebuild, which of course shouldn't have to be the case.

While I've heard this from a lot of Cardinals fans, and while they can develop pitchers much better and more consistently than the Royals, their payroll has fluctuated between #8 and #14 over the last ten years (with many of those years in the top 10)- the Cardinals lowest spending year was still higher than what the Royals have ever spent in their payroll a season (in terms of rankings) - that's a pretty considerable difference.

I will concede the Cardinals development is definitely better, but their financial flexibility can't be discounted when compared to the Royals system.

If the farm is so depleted.. then what's the point in even having guys like Soler and Mondesi?

The Royals had an opening day payroll of $140 million last year, which is higher than any year the Cardinals have had, save for 2017 and 2018. Are you referring to ranks?

Royals were 4th in % of revenue used in payroll last year. So we spend a ton.



We spent 143/250 in revenue, Cards spent 148/315

I think Soler is an interesting case. We still have Mondesi under control until like 2023 so it's not like he couldn't develop with all these other guys in single A. There is zero reason to trade him unless you think you can get an amazing deal for some reason.
