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.

What an epic fail of a trade for Moore . . . .

Maurer throws 95-98 routinely on his fastball. No ‘guy off the street’ is hitting that.

That being said, even the shitty major league hitters (yes, I’m talking about you Esky) can hit a straight fastball with no movement.

The sad thing about the tanking angle is I really don’t think that’s it. Ned, for some ungodly reason, really seems to believe in this guy and his ‘stuff’. It’s truly mind boggling.

Um what? The most thing right now is rebuilding the farm system and hes doing that. Theres also some promising young guys playing that he brought in. I hate that hes trying to run the franchise like a ministry but to say hes not doing anything good is idiotic.

You guys are really turning into a pitchfork wielding group. Yikes.

That trade has worked out horribly, there's no doubt, but at the time the team was sitting in a playoff spot, was on fire, and had a huge gaping hole in the rotation and needed some bullpen help. People were not happy that we were continuing to run Travis Wood out there, we needed another reliable starter, and we needed more bullpen depth beyond Minor and Herrera (who was not having his best year). They acquired a starting pitcher who was pitching well, and two relievers who were under team control for a long time, in Buchter's case about as long as Strahm although he was a lot older.

Funny part is Cahill and Buchter are now pitching really well and doing exactly what we wanted... for the A's, who are in the playoff chase.

On the bright side, we turned Buchter into Fillmyer, who as we saw tonight, has looked pretty good so far.

The terrible free agent signings are what's killed him. I think he's actually done a decent job with trades. He's made a lot of trades that people have been critical of, but often work out better than people expect.

Most of the bad trades he's made have been made to dump guys he's signed to bad contracts... Moss, Soria, Wood, etc.
