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.

So none of our highly regarded hitters ever developed into a truly great player. Is that a sign of a developmental problem with this franchise?

Probably...Houston basically had all their guys develop into stars...they had a few misses but the ones that developed became major stars.

It's still a disingenuous way to answer the question. It's side stepping a legit question about how the guys were developed and saying "we did win something"

OK yes they win something but that doesn't absolve all the issues that still happened. Truthfully the Royals have not developed 1 pitching prospect into a top of the line starter in Moore's entire time here. That is with having double digit guys rated in the top 100 during that time.

Then you move onto to hitters and honestly most of them display a lot of the same warts so it does make you wonder what kind of development was being done here. NONE of those guys developed into what they were supposed to be, some of them became good players but others just failed.

That system was supposed to produce Superstars and frankly..it didn't. Which that alone should make you question if Moore can rebuild something that he hasn't been good at in years and he has to do with a different set of rules.

They won the ****ing World Series. Who gives a flying **** if they weren't all Hall of Famers. Would have been have nice, but really big ****ing deal. They won the championship and were the most dominated team in baseball when they did it.

THE ****ING BOTTOM LINE IS TO WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS. They did that.
