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.

If you're going to tank, you may as well do it right. Just sucks that they're unwatchable.

Just think it will be football season soon(not soon enough) & we won't have to even think about them until spring 2019.

Just keep thinking of Mahomes.

Is tanking ever watchable?

I suppose bringing up Dozier and Mondesi would help? I don't know. This is kind of what I expected.

Same as every year minus the last 5... it's fun to watch the other team's stars. I'm going to the Brewers game on Tuesday just to see Lorenzo Cain.

How ridiculous. Two minor league affiliates in OKLAHOMA that are LA based.
Yeah my bad, I didn't realize they had two here. That's a bit strange.

Nah. This team will get ALOT better when Salvy, Gordon, Bonifacio, Mondesi return and actual real bullpen guys come up. For god sakes the AAA bullpen was MUCH better than this one. Now, Mccarthy is up, Maurer is down. That should help a bunch. Now if they can punch Grimm in the nuts too.

I mean they still suck, but they shouldn't lose 100 games.

Won't lose 100? Remember, we'll likely trade Moose and Herrera, and Duffy or others like Jay and Duda are possible too

2005 and it isn’t particularly close.

Multiple guys on this team who would have been the best player on that garbage squad.

David DeJesus in his prime would immediately be the best OF on this team
