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.

@jcrasnick: The #RedSox and #Braves are both interested in Mike Moustakas as a trade deadline acquisition, sources say. The #Yankees have already been mentioned as a potential landing spot. There's enough of a market for Moose that it's more likely than not the Royals deal him this month.

@Feinsand: According to a source, the Royals are trying to find a match for a Mike Moustakas deal, but it appears KC will have to wait until Manny Machado gets dealt first. Manny could be the domino that starts a number of things in motion.

Difference between then and us right now? We went to two and won one.

Shut the **** up please.
Jacob DeGrom is having a Cy Young type of season and Syndergaard is still pretty awesome...Harvey went down the shitter but lets not act like they all suck.

Telling me teams like the Blue Jays that fired GMs or other teams that don't know what they are doing is a good example..isn't really helpful either.

He is. So they really hit on one of 3at this point. How many world series did it win?

The gms that got fired were because they didn't win nor because they were going to be bad this year.

We are sucking historically bad but so is Baltimore. Typical Royals luck to have an epically bad team & have another team doing the same thing.

46-116 should always get you the first pick.

But it does bring up a good point... look around MlB and tell me which GM who is shepherding a small market team you’d take over Dayton Moore.

Similar markets are:

Minnesota
Tampa
Milwaukee
Cincinnati
San Diego

They are - but they were abysmal during the Royals window of contention (after previously being contenders from 2009-2011). It’s funny, the Brewers GM has said on a few occasions he sees GMDM and the Royals as kindred spirits/franchises.

They are a much more realistic model for us to shoot for rather than a team like the Yankees.

They are.

Last year was their 2013. This would be similar to their 2014.

Like the Royals, they cashed in some prospects to fill holes.

Like the Royals, they built their farm system up during a period of time where they weren’t very good at all.

And like the Royals, they’ll likely cycle back down and have to rebuild again (as they did following the 2012 season).

The Twins also were terrible for most of the decade and went into a full tear down rebuild while doing it (after giving an albatross contract to their own homegrown star).

The Reds have been terrible since going into their rebuild phase (and haven’t done a tremendous job with the rebuild).

My point is that there is a cycle going on in all these places. Up. Then down. Then up again (if managed competently).

True. The Twins had looked like they'd turned it around. The Reds might be back next year. And the Brewers have been competitive most years for over a decade. Down years in the NLC have helped that. It goes more to what you're saying about cycles. They had luck for when the entire division wasn't very good
