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.

Yeah given what we've seen in recent years for rentals this is probably a decent trade. Although looking online I'm not sure Orioles fans are thrilled with it. With Diaz, he hasn't shown much power yet and he has speed but gets caught stealing a ton.

Diaz did whack 2 HR's in the futures game maybe upped his stock a bit.

Baseball Pro has Diaz as a top 30 guy on its midseason list. I generally think that’s a better list than the more popular BA.

That’s a decent return for the Orioles. Light one prospect than if they’d traded him in the offseason,
But good for a rental.

Probably will be as good as the haul we got last year for Strahm and Ruiz!

Indians making a move to try and improve their awful bullpen. Got Brad Hand and reliever Adam Cimber, but they gave up a ton to get him. Gave up their top prospect Francisco Mejia.

Interesting move in an AL that is so top heavy. Feels like Brad Hand had been in trade rumors for years now, they finally pulled the trigger.

Really nice courses have Pro V range balls. Maybe there is hope.

Wow.

Moose might bring back an A ball prospect.

Come on guys. You know better than this. Hand is under contract for 2 more years with a club option for the following year. They control him through the end of 2021.

It's not really rocket science, 3 month rentals don't get much, 3 year rentals do. I'm surprised they gave up Mejia but they get to add a really good piece to their pen while they have still have guys like Lindor, etc.

Still relief pitchers don't normally net that.
