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.

Moose would tear it up in that ballpark, and it'd be fun to seem him and Cain together again, but from the Brewers perspective this just seems like a really bad idea. Their lineup might look better but their middle infield defense would be an adventure.

I literally would have just brought Hammel in from the beginning. We all know how this is going to end.

And Mauer blows the game.

What a turd this guy is. I don’t understand why we keep him on the team.


Yes, I realize it doesn’t matter ultimately (except for the rook who just got his great effort pissed all over).

Just DFA Maurer, seriously. I’m sure we gotta another below average bullpen arm we can stick in there that will still be better than that pile of shit.

I could say that the Royals squandered opportunities to give Maurer a bigger cushion, but I don’t think you can produce a Maurer-proof lead.

Or why he is still on the team. Or why Ned puts him in to close games instead of garbage time.

Maybe we had too much momentum from our weekend sweep of the Twins so Ned wanted to plug Maurer in to get things back on track . . . . . .

Because he wanted Matt Strahm out of the Royals system?

Man it’s been a minute since I looked at Maurer’s line. HOLY SHIT! 16 R in 12 IP on 22 H? Surely we have a bat boy that can put up better numbers for half the price.

Front office and Ned clearly tanking on purpose. There is no justification for ever putting Maurer into a game unless the lead or deficit is double digits. Ever. This guy is the one major league pitcher I've ever seen that I am convinced any asshole off the street could get a hit off of.
