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.

You want a really sad stat... that 562 would still be less than the 1994 Royals, who only played 115 games due to the strike.
What's the MLB record for 162 game season?

Not 100% sure but I think it's the 1942 Phillies. They only played 151 games but they scored 394 runs. Even if they played 11 more games they wouldn't come close to 500, let alone 562.

The 1968 Dodgers played 162 games and only scored 470 runs. So there's been worse.

Might see Singer or Kowar at the end of the year if they really buzz through the competition, but mid-season 2020 is more likely.

There's no reason to start their clock too early. I think they're aiming for that 2020 mark. You'd have to imagine guys like Lopez and Lee will be brought up around then. Not sure about the younger guys like Pratto and Melendez.

I’d rather have the first pick than anything the Angels would give us for Moose.

If Lopez continues to dominate in AAA it makes zero sense and it's not fair to leave him there for 1.5 seasons. He should be up by midseason next year at the latest.

I think his point is that beating the Mariners over the weekend would've possibly led to the Angels potentiality thinking they are in the race and therefore would still trade for Moose. Instead, he would rather have had the Royals get swept(spoiler alert: they did)to help in the race for the number one pick

I think that's very likely. If Whit is traded you could see Lopez in the starting lineup early next year. At least until they give Escobar a 5 year extension.

If Lee does well I could see him coming up at some point next year too.
