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.

3. Kelvin Herrera and Jon Jay to the Astros for pitching prospect David Paulino and J.D. Davis.

Herrera has been touted here for weeks as the right one for the Astros. Paulino has been dangled by the Astros forever. The Royals will need corner guys with Mike Moustakas and Lucas Duda free agents.

6. Mike Moustakas to the Braves for A.J. Minter and Kyle Muller.

The Braves are likely to seek a third base upgrade, but probably not of a mind to deal top guys or add huge money, so Machado and Donaldson may be less likely. Moustakas is having a nice year at a reasonable rate, and he’d fit fine.

These would be fair returns.

Paulinho is a huge power arm with durability concerns. Worst-case, he would be a good back-end bullpen piece.

If he can stay healthy, he throws enough strikes to have a 3 floor with a ToR ceiling. MLb ready now.

Davis is a 3B with good power. He’s already 25 and is also MlB-ready. You’d get his prime years under control.

I like Muller and I LOOOOOVE AJ Minter, who I think is going to be an elite closer.

Minter is already a major leaguer and would slide right into the closer spot for KC. Muller is a projectable High-A arm that would slot nicely with the Lee/Matias/Pratto wave.

Personally, I think both deals are good for KC, but wonder if KC would prefer a little more youth and upside in return.

Rogelio Armentaros is also a guy I could see KC valuing over Paulinho despite him being a little lower ranked.

Looks like the Dodgers may be jumping on the bandwagon behind the Rays. Scott Alexander is going to "start" tonight as the "opener."

Cam Gallagher having a nice year at AAA. 102 ABs, 2 HR, .333 avg, .839 OPS.

Maybe we can finally get rid of Butera as a back up. I know he's had some good spurts with the Royals, but bottom line is he's a .550 career OPS hitter.

Duncan is a genius. But he needs to recant in Ian.

@BooneOWH: Clay Buchholz has made three starts since signing with Arizona after leaving Omaha after getting his release from the Royals. He's 1-1 with a 1.50 ERA with 14 strikeouts in 18 innings. WHIP is 0.67.

Man, just kinda sucks that our rotation is so good that we couldn't find a spot for him.

It’s brutal at this point. He’s lost a couple mph on his fastball.

He was exactly what they thought they were getting in Year 1. Headed to the pain zone unless he finds a way to reinvent himself.

He's got his cash, do you honestly think he is going to put in any effort at this point in his career?

I think most professionals still take pride in their performance and hate lletting eveyone down regardless of their bank acct.
