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.

Did he really only face 4 batters last year after throwing 60 pitches?

Anderson regressed in 2004, pitching poorly throughout the season. His record was 6–12 with a career high 5.64 ERA in 166 innings.

This post if full of contradictions. 1 guy pans out and they mortgaged the future of the team?

I'll take one ring over all the successful seasons the Indians have had over the past 2-3 decades.

We'll see how Brandon Finnegan comes back from from his shoulder injury. But the Royals would have been better off in 2018 with Manaea in the rotation, Finnegan either in the rotation or the bullpen and John Lamb still in the system and potentially at the MLB level.

It was still a good trade despite what the team is now without them.

That's also not to mention Ventura dying which there was no way to plan for.

Getting caught with a fly ball heavy staff when MLB juiced the ball at the same time as everyone started adjusting his swing for additional loft was a pretty brutal confluence of events.

It definitely hurt Kennedy, and he’s not the only one.

I really hope I'm wrong, but despite having 4 top 40 picks I have absolutely no faith in any substance coming from this draft. I also have little faith in getting any substantial return at the trade deadline.

Moore hasn’t been as good in the draft as he needs to be to keep waves rolling in to KC, but he also has enough success to be considered better than “horrible.” He has performed well with large bonus pools, or when he has the flexibility to overpay slot for some key players. That’s the situation this year.

They also have done very well in the past 2 drafts. Pratto, Melendez, Lee, Tillo, Zuber, Gigliotti, Lopez, etc.

Trading Danny Duffy is a lot harder in real life than in MlB the Show. If they had found a package that was valuable enough to move him, they would have. Offers were lackluster for him over the winter.

When you trade an established player with years of control left at reasonable prices, you have to get enough value back to mitigate the risk of giving them up.

Jose Martinez was a mistake.

Gordon and Kennedy are mistakes in hindsight, though the Kennedy deal was questioned widely when it happened. Gordon’s was not.

Both of those were attempts to maximize contention window in 16 and 17. Kennedy paid off expectations in 16, though the rest of the team did not.

It’s easy to critique the Gordon deal in hindsight but intellectually dishonest to act like it looked like a bad deal when completed.

And as for deadline returns ... they’ll get some useful pieces but will need more of a scouting win type to really make it pay off.

Teams just don’t pay for rentals like they used to. Prospects are too valued now. Herrera should fetch a fringe 100 prospect type. That can boom into much more, quickly.

Seuly Matias is a great example of that type of guy. He made one top 100 coming into this year and is almost assuredly going to be on all of them next time around.
