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.

He's now 157th most valuable regular out of 161. Alshittys is one of the 4 shittier players btw. And Hoz defensive metrics? Still shit! So we can drop the tired excuse he "guarded the line" a lot late in our games cause our bullpen was so good.



One last thing: he's 1st of 161 regulars in GB/Fly ratio. 3.56x
Guy just has to hit the ball in the air. That is literally about it.

You'll get more if someone is desperate now AND with years of control. You don't need them AT ALL this year if you are the Royals.

This is exactly what I was thinking with the Yankees and the Sanchez situation.

Yankees will upgrade their catcher position by calling in the backup with a .800 OPS before calling the Royals about Perez.

Fair enough. Didn't know what the Yankees had behind Sanchez. The dude playing now doesn't have very impressive numbers.

You do have to wonder how much of his lazy bullshit they'll put up with before they look to move him.

It's just damn tough to convince yourself to move on from a guy with the ability to make a Piazza caliber impact offensively. His attitude is just so damn bad and has been for awhile now.

I mean, Perez for Sanchez doesn't get done. Perez and Duffy for Sanchez likely doesn't get much traction either unless they're just damn tired of him. The Yankees don't have a real need for Whit and the Royals don't have much to offer outside of that.

They should try to ship him to Miami for Realmuto just as a stick in his eye. I haven't seen a guy as indifferent out there since...well, Dexter Fowler. But before Dexter Fowler, I've not seen it since Hanley Ramirez got himself traded out of Miami.

I have had an epiphany.


Having a player like Salvy on your roster as a catcher.. isn't exactly optimal.

He's too good defensively to not put behind home plate, but you can't run him out every day because -wouldn't you know it- the physical demands of the position are arduous.

You can't give him too much rest because his bat is historically too good to sacrifice for multiple days. Fine, so you DH him or stick him at first... but what happens when the backup catcher gets hurt midgame? You're then down a catcher and you lose the DH for that game.

So then you Gattis/Schwarber the guy and make him a full time player at another position or be the full time DH. But that's assuming he's not a liability at another position defensively and his bat is comparable offensively to other full time players at those spots.

If I'm a GM, why should I tell scouts to look for prospects like proto-Salvy when I should probably be looking for proto-Cervellis?

Disclaimer: this epiphany is independent of DJ's post. I just got around to posting it now and didn't see his commentary. I am in no way, shape or form influenced by the evil takes of a Cardinals fan.
