*** Official 2018 Royals Repository ***

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.

I dunno, because they had to field a team? TBH, I don't think they had any idea what they wanted to do, or whom they wanted to be after last season. They signed Jon Jay, which turned out fine. Duda, which was a completely awful fit and acquisition, and resigned Moose, which should yield a mildly decent trade. But those guys were never going to win 80 games. Hell, they were going to struggle to win 70 games, imo.

The Royals shouldn’t have signed those useless vets! They need to be focusing on prospects!!!

*Sees Jon Jay’s Wal-Mart contract traded for a legitimately exciting prospect*

To try to flip them for whatever value they could get.

The Jon Jay return was a very nice one considering his cost and the upside of Elvis Luciano (heck, even getting a few years of average RP from the lefty would pay off that deal).

If they’re not blocking someone, there’s only upside.

I don't understand why no one wants moose. A guy that will hit 30+ hrs, bat .260-270 with good def at 3b and a cheap salary.

You can't really have it both ways. People complain that guys like Orlando and Almonte get so much playing time, then others complain that we signed a guy like Jon Jay. Well which is it? You can't just stop fielding a major league team.

The reality is they haven't drafted as well as they should have. It's also the reality that they sacrificed some of the talent they did have to try and win now. And some of it was bad luck.

This team today could be fielding a rotation of Ventura, Duffy, Manaea, Junis with Keller, Strahm and Herrera closing games out. Or maybe you put Strahm in the rotation, or have Cody Reed waiting in the wings. Everyone would feel a lot better about this team's prospects in that case.

I zip thru them on DVr. I did that when we were good too tho, so yeah: no clue how someone could possibly watch this crap live. Still, to say you haven't seen a pitch, is really pathetic as a fan
