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.

It was just a major understatement u made that's all. Dude is an awesome talent.

It definitely makes me feel less crazy for spending the past 6 years talking about how talented he is.

He's one of the rare prospects who has a high ceiling/high floor. If he can't hit so what? He's a slick fielding SS. That's a 1-2 WAR player no matter what. So he becomes an Alcides, that's fine. But he **could** become a Brandon Crawford or Addison Russell.


Come to think of it, most of the core of our Champ teams had that same mix. Cain,Sal,Hoz,Moose,Gordon,Alcides - all high ceiling/high floor. Mostly with defense but in the case of Gordon + Sal, it was their bat that was supposedly the max tool (and not their gloves, which turned out wrong - but that meant they were perennial AS talents)


Now? Lots of mid ceiling/low floors. Dozier, OHearn, Soler, Boni, Cuthbert, on and on. If their bats don't pan out they're worthless. If their bats are actually BAD, you get negative WAR dudes. Not sure how to reverse this.

Wait, wasn’t salvy’s bat the biggest shock and defense a guarantee?

Good question for Duncan

I think his bat was pretty advanced, and they were playing Myers at C until they moved him to advance him faster

Sal hit like 327 his first cup of coffee in 2010 or 2011. His defense then went into hyperdrive

Mondesi is playing like a star. Just hit another absolute bomb. He has the chance to be a legit 5 tool guy. He's about to post 10 HR/30 SB in half a season.

And Denny of course barely registered a pulse.

Look, I get that in the grand scheme the result is meaningless, but c’mon

Haven't watched a single game all season, I was at a bar eying the game. It looked like they won the world series. It was actually pretty sad.
