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.

Esky beef!

Card up 4-2.

Al Bundy · 08-11-2018, 07:01 PM

That's a way to end your night Duffy.

2 starts in a row he gets a bad call from the ump and then gives up a big homerun.

OKchiefs · 08-11-2018, 07:50 PM

Duffy with another shitty outing. He's not a ace because he can't keep his composure.

He's a mental midget

Al Bundy · 08-11-2018, 08:16 PM

He's not an ace because he's a below average starting pitcher.

Which if that's truly the case he's another example of a horrible contract given out by Dayton Moore. He's been a mess ever since his DUI bullshit last year and that stupid "bury me a Royal" crap.

Sure-Oz · 08-12-2018, 09:14 AM

His velocity was 90-91 too not good

Al Bundy · 08-12-2018, 10:23 AM

Not a good outing for Duffy last night. I really can't wait for this season to end.

Al Bundy · 08-12-2018, 10:52 AM

The Royals reinstated RHP Blaine Boyer from the 60-day disabled list and optioned RHP Glenn Sparkman to Omaha.

Corresponding 40-man move: OF Jorge Soler has been transferred to the 60-day DL. He’ll be eligible to come off that later this month and isn’t close to returning.

@FlannyMLB: Ned said Danny Duffy may skip his next start. Duffy been dealing with some shoulder soreness for a few starts.

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.
