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.

The STL beat writer(Goold) said in a chat session yesterday that the Royals have contacted Matheny about "some" role within the Royals organization.

Free advice for my friends in here, get the pitchforks out if your Royals bring in Meathead to coach at any level.

If the Royals bring in Matheny in any on-field capacity, will flip me completely on Moore.

Matheny was ****ing terrible, man, as the Cardinals manager.

He was handed the keys to a Lamborghini and drove it into a series of light poles until daddy finally took the keys away and told him he wasn’t paying for repairs anymore.

Do you mean Moore? Cause the way you said that makes you sound like a blind homer so I don't think that's what you meant.

Sure enough did. Edited. There is no defense for hiring Matheny in an on-field role, unless it’s with a Little League team.

The 2011 Cardinals won the World Series. Matheny took over that team, which had several prime years left of Adam Wainwright, an excellent farm system (that ascended to #1 in Baseball before his first year), a plethora of homegrown pitching , and tremendous resources.

It absolutely was a great situation, and they won a ton of games in spite of him.

Over time, his stubbornness, his playing of favorites within his bible study group, and his general reputation made it a far less attractive destination for FAs while also making it a tough place for young players to succeed.

Everything you typed here is unsupported if not false.

Well, this may all be true, I don't follow the Cards on any daily basis . The easier explanation tho is that the Cubs simply have way better talent and have for the past 4 seasons and will again for a couple more. And Tavares died. I prefer the simpler arguments

Yikes. Corner IF is one position that appears to be almost completely barren in our system.
