Far more encouraging is that his timing has been better and the strikeouts are at a tolerable level
Good object lesson in not getting carried away with post-draft performance.
Felvy

Already downgrading Oppor? He's been walking the park thru 3 starts
Brendan Gawlowski

We're not dropping anybody off the list yet, though some guys will dip within their FV tier.
It's a weather report mostly, not a re-eval of the T100 guys
We'll do that soon too
There is always so much to do

How about my boy, eh?

Alfredo Garcia

Any word on Davalan in the Dodger system? Go hogs!

Tricky skill set to make work but even some of the more conservative scouts I've spoken with dig this guy.

Well, if the Nats have a new 50 and it's not Fitz-Gerald, my next guess would be Seaver King (but I'm now also growing worried they're both on Royals).
Brendan Gawlowski
2:58
They're both on the Royals
Though Eric is also debating throwing a wrinkle and adding a third 50 on the WAS list
The plot thickens...

Ian Happ with a better glove is pretty funny when he's won 4 straight gold gloves
Brendan Gawlowski

Embarrassing for me, I was just purely looking at the defensive numbers. Uh, forget I said the thing above.
The point is Waldy is good
Guardian Angel

Not great from Kayfus.. optimistic about his future?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:59
Solid bench bat
Eric Prydz

How high are you on the big man Shores?
Brendan Gawlowski
No reason to change the valuation yet from this winter's list

Guys, guys, he's already basically acknowledged it's Hammond and Chourio moving to the 50's. Read the chat!

Really fun exciting dudes. When do you expect the next movement in grades?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:01
The next big one probably comes after the lists are done.
There are a couple guys who may force our hand earlier than that.
3:02
Luis Peña and Emil Morales are two that I plan to look at sooner rather than later, they're sending strong signals that they're better than where we ranked them.

Do you think the Mariners have a lefty-heavy lineup problem going forward?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:02
I don't know if it's a problem. Among other things, in theory their three best guys can all hit right handed.
Ronny Cruz
3:03
Is my hype getting out of control?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:03
Based on the volume of chat questions, yes.
3:04
Exciting player with some hit risk. Eric will have Nats out this week, I would check with him on his chat Friday if you still have further questions
Need Mets hope

Thoughts on Wenninger? Well below Tong?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:04
Like him, less ceiling than Tong, reliable no. 4 projection.
3:05
Caught one of his spring starts, everything seemed in order from what we wrote in the overview

Might be a bit of a dumb question, but after the Elijah Green question I'm curious at what point do you end up going from "probably won't pan out but worth taking a gamble on him to be safe" to "at this point it's probably not even worth the effort"?  Obviously Green isn't exactly looking optimistic given that he's run at least a 30% K rate at every level, and I know it'll be a case-by-case basis, but curious to see where you set a dividing line.
Brendan Gawlowski

Good question, sliding scale as you'd imagine based on the tools and the investment. Teams are really, really reluctant of giving up early on guys they've sunk seven figures in. The A's still have Robert Puason, for goodness sake. In general, there are enough orgs running around that you can justify keeping a guy with big tools around and hope that there's a black swan event in his future that unlocks something.
That may be less true if we chop another level
Purple Mays Haze

Higher ceiling: Ryan Sloan or Seth Hernandez?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:08
Seth but can't go wrong
Connecting…
