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.

Signs for $100K so it’s a good assumption that another team offers $150K they sign him.

299 times MLB teams passed on Pujols. 23 teams passed on Trout.

He signed for 25k more than he had agreed to with the Royals... in a “take it right now or it’s gone” call from the Braves. They knew the Royals’ number and hopped over it.

Probably from their illicit work in Latin America and all the favors they were throwing at the buscaros.

Do you know the Royals history with Acuna? He was one of the signings stolen by the Braves after he had made an agreement with the Royals iirc.

No I didn’t. How in the hell did the league let them get away with it?

Looks like we're going to have a rain delayed start.

Gonna be fireworks in the Braves/Marlins game in the meantime. First pitch of the game and they nailed Acuna with a 97 mph fastball. He was going for a 4th straight game with a leadoff homer. Looked seriously hurt there for a minute.

Why? Perez is only two and a half years older, under control for about the same amount of time, and is 10 times the defensive catcher. I don't think the Royals would do it. The whole face of the franchise thing aside. Sanchez is definitely a better overall hitter but Perez hits for power and plays great defense. It seems like people don't ever understand how highly Dayton values defense.
