When are the draftee name rankings coming out? Who's #1?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:01
Meh, maybe another site fits what you're looking for?
Pete

How soon after the draft do you merge these guys on the board with their new teams?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:02
We wanna shade the pro guys up and down in addition to this, so probably a few weeks. Top 100 though, will be much sooner...
Matt

Surprised by Edwards or Kowar falling out of the 1st round?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:02
Kowar, especially.

Noah Naylor's ceiling?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:02
Well-rounded offensive threat who catches
Eric
10:03
You had Boston taking a DH and they took Casas whom you projected to 1st. Were they looking for power or was it a coincidence?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:03
Coincidence

How many "overdraught" jokes have been made about Beer?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:03
None but they're funny

Heard anything new on who the White Sox like at 46?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:03
Well all that talk of him going 4 was probably because they're on him in the 2nd...

You moved Owen White up on the board a couple days ago. Was that based on industry chatter, updated reports, or signability?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:10
Just kicking the board around and getting feedback. Guys in that range move significantly, numerically, because the talent is so clustered that late.

10:13
Hankins and Rocker still available because of signability?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:14
Also just prep arms falling naturally like always, but still spots for them to get paid here in comp round. These teams have $$
woodberry

Thoughts on the O's GRod pick? Over reach, or savvy move?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:15
We like him, don't 11th pick like him
Nick
10:16
Any 2019 draft names that have risen since your initial February rankings?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:16
Yeah, including a Georgia prep kid who threw 97 like last week, but those rankings are a mess in our internal system right now and I'm not comfortable sharing them rn
BG
10:16
Thanks for doing this guys, you're the best!
Eric A Longenhagen
10:16
(thumbs up) maybe we'll outsource a Twitch stream to a production company next year.
10:17
Tell the Loading Ready Run folks we wanna come to Victoria and do a draft show at the Moonbase
Donny
10:17
Where do you see Yanks going at 61?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:17
We have them with Lavigne if he's there, Hackenberg if he isn't
Danny
10:17
will this next round ever start, this thing won't end till midnight, talk about pace of play
Robb Nen’s labrum
10:18
Where do you see the Giants going at 45?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
10:19
Heard them connected to Sean Hjelle from Kentucky weeks ago and they don't have tons of money, so that makes sense
Cory
10:20
Hankins to the Tigers at 44? Would they be able to sign him?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:20
They're gonna get someone LIKE that, enough HS guys on the board that some will fall.
Dick Hahn
10:22
Why do players rarely get grades of "65" or "75". It seems to always go from 60 to 70 to 80.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:22
If it's a '75' just slap an 8 on it
10:23
65 is less egregious, but I still have contempt for it
Rays Front Office

Upside, baby [drops mic]
Eric A Longenhagen
10:23
U2 sucks
Craig
10:23
Is there a significant difference between watching film of a prospect as opposed to seeing them in person?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:23
Don't know if I'd have taken two guys with medical questions back to back there for TB
AvatarKiley McDaniel
10:24
Yes there is, but in some cases if you already have seen the player and have context, the video can add to it
