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.

2016 - injuries to Cain and Moose, derailed that season
2017 - Ventura's death. Ventura pitched last year, we take the 2nd wild card over the Twins more than likely

Ventura's death has caused a lot of the problems with the starting pitching. Losing a cost controlled ace unexpectedly is something you can't plan for through minors and the band aids haven't been the best.

Stat scouting minor league players doesn’t take into account their age for the level, the park they play in, or what they’re working on at the time. Stats are secondary to development.

The Lexington and Wilmington rosters have a lot of interesting players having strong campaigns (including MJ Melendez, who has been impressive defensively at C and is showing strong power and a quality approach).

It’s not pretty above a-ball, though.

Nicky Lopez is about the only bat above a-ball that I think will amount to anything, and Foster Griffin and Scott Blewett are the only SPs who might be a real contributor in a major league rotation.
@Shauncore: I tried finding similar historical seasons to what Seuly Matias is doing this year, but they basically don't exist. As far as I can tell, no 20 or younger player has had a .300 ISO in A-Ball let alone the .386 ISO Matias has now. https://twitter.com/Shauncore/status...153472/photo/1

Cueto putting the team on his back in the deciding game 5 against Houston? He was masterful that day and helped us win the ALDS. And then a complete game 2 hitter to take game two in the WS against the Mets.

FFS now you're just trolling, or as Dane likes to put it: a Butt****ing moron.

I'm sure it's already been talked about, but just read an article again about how Ronald Acuna almost came here before Atlanta swooped in with a bigger offer. It seems like just another mishap or bad luck that seems to be the norm around here now. Let's hope the draft next month ushers in a new era in Royals baseball.

Some day I wish we could develop a real ace. Ventura had the potential, but unfortunately we'll never know. Otherwise, the last ace we've developed in house was Greinke.

Hadn't heard the name Tim Collins in a while but he's back up in Majors with Washington, replacing another former Royal Ryan Madson who went on the DL.

A few edits/thoughts:

3B Emmanuel Rivera (Wilmington) is more likely to be the 3B at that point.

I can’t imagine Matias being a bench guy at that point.

SP needs a lot of help

Like the potential shape of that pen, though

I checked on the standings before our series. What’s the deal? I looked at tonights line up and you guys got some damn good players in that lineup. They having down years? Is it pitching?

We’ve looked like shit this year. Played the Reds a lot so it makes the record better than what we really are.

There is a distinct and troubling lack of Maarten Gasparini at 2B in this lineup.
