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.

Oh, they absolutely will.

If I get some time tonight, I’ll try to look at some starting asking prices from key clubs for key pieces such as Herrera, And Moustakas and maybe even take a look at what a Merrifield return would be.

Too bad duda hasn't stayed healthy

I'd offer Herrera + Whit to Hou for Kyle Tucker.

Tucker is the #10 prospect. He is a 60FV player. According to Creagh's model he has a future worth of $60M.

Herrera = $8M
Whit = $48M (3 years x 2 war x 8M)

So pretty close IMO.

I’d love for them to take that deal, but not sure they would.

Merrifield’s utility is kind of unnecessary to them, as they have Martin Gonzalez as a super util type and have Altuve at Merrifield’s best position.

The Nats are the best target for Merrifield, or the Brewers, IMO.

Prison Bitch · 06-11-2018, 01:53 PM

Marwin is a totally worthless player, who had 1 good year. They'd DFA him if Whit came. And their pen is crap too. That deal addresses both for their window. You can't get te premier closer on the market for nothing.

It'd be nearly impossible to pry a top 10 prospect, but we gave one up in 2012 right?

DJ's left nut · 06-11-2018, 04:27 PM

Would y'all send us Ian Kennedy for Dexter Fowler?

No money changing hands - just our shitty player and shitty contract with 3 years on it for your shitty player and shitty contract with 2 years on it. You'd have to believe that Fowler's OBP and 'renowned clubhouse skills' would make the deal worthwhile to make it from a Royals standpoint. There are crazier ideas to bet on, I guess.

Personally I couldn't give a !@#$ what we do with Kennedy. I'd just really like Mike Matheny to stop playing Fowler.

Sure-Oz · 06-11-2018, 04:31 PM

Kennedy and Gordon contacts are so bad

In a heartbeat on my end...

So the Royals take on the extra year and dollars out of the goodness of their hearts?

Only way that happens is if you tell Moore that Fowler is disheartened by all the masturbating and porn addiction in St. Louis and needs an escape.

Or if St. Louis throws in something to pay off that last year.

If the Cardinals would take both, I’d take Fowler off their hands.

Florida makes it to Omaha so three Royals draft picks are in because I know they drafted someone from Arkansas too.

Any other picks playing in Omaha next week?

I'd trade Ian Kennedy for AIDS if I had to

Fly ball pitchers are a thing of the past. It's going to make him RIP. All the rave right now is sinkerballers.
