Do you have any idea what happens for the A's if Kyler Murray suddenly becomes a 1st round pick and wants to declare?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:45
There's a phrase that's inappropriate for chat that applies.
Rollie's Mustache
2:45
Does Eric Padinho start 2019 in Bluefield again or up in Vancouver?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:45
He's pretty advanced, he might be in Lansing
Huckleberry Jones

Anyone from the Rangers Instructional League team particularly jumping out or generating buzz thusfar?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:47
Most of the guys you know, like Bubba. But Diosbel Arias keeps hitting. John King's stuff is good, mid-90s with tail and a 50 curveball. My boy Sherten Apostel has great rhythm at the plate but has been bad in his tries at 1B.

What's Mike Matuella's outlook in the bullpen? Any chance of being a high leverage guy or is it more middle reliever?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:48
If his stuff ticks up in relief he could be a high leverage guy

You said Kaprielian's velocity was down when you saw him.  Are we just going to have to wait and see if it bounces back or should I freak out now?  Also, any other A's prospect notes?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:48
Just wait and see if there's bounce

How do you personally form an opinion on the performance of a manager?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:48
I just abstain unless it's clearly so bad or good.

Do you mind if readers say hello at AFL games? Not during play of course.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:49
Go for it

Why no effort to scout in South Asia, they play cricket, same basic skills, and they got like a billion people.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:49
No argument from me, teams should get creative
Tommy Bahama Mama

why are you a coward
Eric A Longenhagen

Jeez, this got dark really fast
BoBa Chett
2:50
I thought Corbin Burnes had the stuff to start?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:50
For sure, but what if pitcher roles are changing?
Cardinal Stan
2:50
Do you like Genesis Cabrera at all? Chance to stay a starter? Same about Ryan Helsley.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:51
Relief for me but stuff liek that from the left side is pretty rare. Helsley I think has a better chance of starting but I'm worried about his injury.
Dan

What are the reports on the Brewers' Zhao?  Just missed him in the Ripken league this summer
Eric A Longenhagen
2:51
90-92, 2 command right now. Curveball could be dominant.

Do you think teams consider makeup in the sense that they might take to a swing change? I.e. they hit the ball really hard but at low a low angle, but because of their makeup they are confident they can change?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:52
That probably depends on each teams' definition of makeup, but some teams consider 'baseball aptitude' part of it and for those teams, yes.
Danny
2:52
Seen anything good from Peter Alonso or Andres Gimenez lately?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:52
I was at the other night game last night but know they each mashed last night
Ben

What's your take on Starling Heredia? Are you down on him after a tough season?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:53
I am

How does player development usually decide if a guy needs a swing change or tweak? Is it poor performance (i.e., if a guy is making a weird swing work why change) or will the make the change early because they that they'll eventually have to anyway, and at that point the cement has hardened too much?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:53
If your TrackMan readout has big exit velos but low launch angles, you're a candidate.
Hello
2:54
Have you ever been offered a job with an MLB org, and if so why didn't you take it?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:55
Yes, but I really like this job for too many reasons to list in a timely manner, largely because of how I value autonomy.
Jonathan
2:56
When do you expect to start rolling out the lists?
