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.

He’s been in that role since 2014, and Royals catchers - specifically Perez - are very bad at framing (which should be the primary focus of the catching instructor).

My guys inside the team HATE Grifol. He’s a blame-placer and a back-stabber.

Ibanez, on the other, is a future star IMO. He’s smart, he’s a motivator, he can reach both stars and scrubs due to his history as a player (good enough that anyone should listen, enough troubles getting to MLB to relate to bench guys).

I'm all about Ibanez. Hope they go that route. Do we know if Ned's coming back?

Me, too. I've been a big fan of his ever since we acquired him as a 28 year-old from the M's, with his manager there, Lou Piniella, saying he would be good for us as long as he got at bats and some baseball-analytics types condemning him even before he got his chance with us. He went from an OPS of .630 in 156 plate appearances with the M's in 2000 to an OPS of .847 in twice the number of plate appearances with the Royals in 2001 and followed that up with OPS's of .873 and .799 with the Royals in 2002 and 2003, respectively. When he came back to the Royals in 2014, he gave an amazing speech to the players convincing them that they were on the cusp of greatness. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...ouse/15314435/

I’m confused why there’s a discussion on the Royals next manager. There’s absolutely zero evidence that Ned won’t be back for 2019.

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

It is absolutely, incontrovertibly true. He ****ed around with Taveras so much that Mozeliak had to trade Allen Craig just to get him to play him. He ruined the arms and careers of Kevin Siegrist, Seth Maness, and Trevor Rosenthal. He played favorites, preferring shitty veterans that attended his Bible study group over superior, younger options.

The 2011 system had these guys in it

Matt Adams
Matt Carpenter
Allen Craig
Lance Lynn
Shelby Miller
Trevor Rosenthal
Kevin Siegrist
Carlos Martinez
Tommy Pham
Oscar Taveras

Then add Freese, Jaime Garcia, Wainwright, Yadi, Matt Holliday, and Beltran on it.

He had a team filled with elite veteran talent and about 110 fWAR just in those guys I listed above that weren't even regular players yet.

He was absolutely handed a Lambo.

Why did the people in charge of building/acquiring the Lambo hand it to Matheny?
