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.

I am totally with you when it comes to this offseason. I was very disappointed with GMDM's fascination with Hosmer, especially when he gave up some of our most promising bullpen pieces to try to be in a longshot bidding war against a team with bigger pockets. The signings afterwards made little sense to me as well.

Now, you could argue that he shouldn't have been the one to go get that pop up in the first place, and you wouldn't be wrong, but he put himself in position to make the play and ****ed it up at the last second. Oh well, I guess he really isn't perfect after all.

Salvy should text him and tell him he would never have put Hosmer in that position in the first place.

Why an MLB pitcher would willingly play half of his games in Colorado is beyond me. It’s basically saying “these guys will pay me a lot of money to raise my career ERA by 2 runs.”

Hosmer problem was he wasn't expecting to put himself in that position. About a stride or two past the bag he starts to decelerate and brings his eyes down. I think he thought someone would have it but the catcher literally never even tries to move from home lol. Hosmer panics and hits max jets and by the time he located the ball again, yeah he'd gone too far.

I wonder why the catcher didn't call that immediately. Hosmers basically playing the outfield not 1b.

Hosmer is used to Salvy getting that ball.
