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.

Hopefully Herrera gets a long look and taps into his former top 100 potential. Only 25

Can anybody tell me how big of a bonus the top Latin America players get and comparatively to the top picks in the MLB draft?

Teams have a bonus pool and can spend as much of it as wanted on a single player. I think any bonus of $100k or less doesn’t count against the pool. The top guys get bonuses into the 2-4 million range but it’s hard to go much above that without significant penalties.

It’s all about who they’re blocking for me.

Now that Mondesi is up, he should play every day. His bat should always be in the lineup.

Orlando is not blocking anyone RIGHT NOW so I’m ok with it, but he needs to hit the road once Bonifacio completes his assignment to Omaha and is re-called.

so what kind of competitive balance or compensatory picks will we get for losing Butera, Duda, Esky, Moose (or do we get one with a mutual option?), and Hammel (mutual option)?


Or will we have to give up picks since we'll probably be better off after letting these guys walk?

Most likely none. They would have to offer them a qualifying offer first (1 year, $17.4 mil in 2017) which the would have to reject and I don't think most of those guys would turn that down.

Boras would reject a QO for Moose... surely.

I don't think the Royals can offer him one this year.
