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'm tired of Moore and his complete lack of concern for OBP.

Alt History time.

Wil Myers trade never happens. Royals sign Anibal Sanchez at 5/85 instead. All other transactions (except the ones involved Wade, of course) stay the same. How does 2013-2018 go for us?

I'll start by saying I think that thanks to Odo in 2015, and Wil/Odo in 2016, we make the playoffs in 2015 and 2016 (with a shot at making it in 2013 thanks to Anibal, too) but ultimately, I don't think we end up taking the title. What do you all think?

Should it be reasonable to expect a similar return on Whit that ChiSox got for Eaton? To me that seems pretty reasonable, and both are very similar players.

I do question if Moore has the cajones or skill to pull off such a trade.

Whit is a 6 win player? That's news to me.

This is true.

Vern and Hughley will be much better listening from 10-2 for 610 fans.


The part that sucks is replacing Vern with Binkley. Yeesh. Oh well. I guess the Royals won't be good again for a few years anyway, so really doesn't matter much . . . . .

I think a more realistic comp would be the Ben Zobrist trade the Royals made. One Top 50 prospect and couple projectable Low A guys.

I may be in the minority (and don't give a flying F either way), but I like Ron the Show and was hoping he'd get a bigger role. Unfortunately they put him against Petro who is far and away the best host in KC. He'd be better off sticking to the night show compared to that. Hopefully he can make it to drive time because choosing between Carrington and KK is awful.

So the Royals get Wade Davis for free?

No. I tried to clarify that by saying the transactions involving Wade obviously wouldn't happen since he wouldn't have been traded over.

The last guy that did Royals pre and post when they were bad is now the radio play-by-play guy for the Astros.

Day off against a lefty. No way they would trade him the day of a home game and not pull him during the game so the crowd could acknowledge him.
