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.

If Ned's not going to get himself tossed making a point, it'll keep happening. Like the Chiefs who take the anal ****ings so willingly, with almost no fight, unless you make a point of letting the umpire know he ****ed up, they'll keep ****ing up.

The old "chew some ass" arguement.

Otherwise known as stand up for yourself.

But hey, at least we don't have to watch anymore...

Great Expectations · 06-12-2018, 09:18 PM

We don’t want Ned chewing ass this year, we are trying to tank and when Ned chews ass we alway real off a winning streak.

When Ned chews ass WE WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS!

Sure-Oz · 06-12-2018, 09:31 PM

Hopefully Herrera was just off tonight.

GloryDayz · 06-12-2018, 09:46 PM

Did our young players learn anything tonight? Perhaps just how far you can stray from the baseline?

Meh!

ArrowheadMagic · 06-12-2018, 09:50 PM

Herrera gets hurt whenever he pitches poorly. Move him early. ... or be stuck building the next pen around him as the 7th inning guy again. What do we really think we can get for him anyway?

He's been one of if not the best closer in the league this season. Blown saves happen, even Davis had a couple in 2014.

We really should be thanking Kelvin. This is a crucial series for us to lose. We have to keep our focus on that #1 pick intact.

Prison Bitch · 06-13-2018, 06:37 AM

86mph offspeed pitch right down the plate.

He really should've had his ass beaten to a pulp in te locker room after.

This gives me goosebumps and nostalgia of growing up to the 100 loss teams in that 90's and 2000's. This is what Royals baseball feels like! I don't even care if they lose. It's just a way to pass the time and root for young players to be something.

Spoiler! Possibly goes top 10 but is a big, physical SP with ace potential. Moore and co. will be all over him if he slips a bit and could offer top 10 money at No. 16 OF Jarred Kelenic, Waukasha West HS, WI Spoiler! Kelenic is the top prep bat, toolsy OF. Royals would be ecstatic to have shot at him. 1B Triston Casas, American Heritage HS (FL). Spoiler! Tremendous raw power, best in HS bats. Royals typically like HS arms or HS bats with "special" tools. He qualifies. RHP Carter Stewart, Eau de Gallie HS (Ga). Spoiler! Another big, physical specimen with huge upside. More likely to be available mid-first than Rocker. ANY Any, Any (Any). Any current top projected pick who slides for injury concerns.
