Have only seen Monte once so far so have to ask you bug me about him again in a future chat. I like X man but think he's a 2B. plus-plus run, feel to hit, self-aware of his skills and limitations

Any word on Alex Reyes? Cards still projecting him to start or will they just put him to the bullpen?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:52
Starts a throwing program soon, still think you try to make him a traditional 200-inning starter

What kind of package would SD look for in dealing Wil Myers? Could be another fit to replace Markakis in ATL...
Eric A Longenhagen
2:52
Yup, that's another good target for ATL and a good fit for SD to trade for a prospect more in line with their competitive timeline

Would an offer of Gohara, Allard, Wilson, and Waters be enough for Realmuto?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:53
I'd do that if I were MIA

How does Jam Jones look at 2B?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:53
4 hands, 5 arm. Still a work in progress

"I don't think the Mets properly scout the parts of SD's system that SD would want to deal from in such a trade"  um what the heck does that mean??
Eric A Longenhagen
2:54
It means the Mets don't scout the lowest levels of the minors where a lot of SD's desirable talent was located.
2:55
Why do you think the Mets get back a lot of A-ball relievers in trades? When's the last time they acquired a prospect beneath full-season ball?

How much faith should Tigers fans have in the current front office's ability to turn it around? Would you grade the rebuild a success so far?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:56
I think they have a strong collection of minor league talent and it's just about them actualizing it via good player dev.

Do you think Pache is too aggressively ranked on the board? As a Braves fan, I think 18 is crazy.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:58
If you buy that he's going to play elite CF defense (we do) then he doesn't have to do much with the bat to be a 60. just peep Inciarte's #'s this year
3:00
Have seen him twice: 93-97 t98 with big downhill plane, plus-plus changeup in the low-80s with vertical action. 11-5 curveball is a 60, slider and cutter each flash 60. Doesn't have surgical command but he locates his stuff in general ares where they'll play (the cutter is always to his glove side and when it misses, it misses off the plate away where he can't get hurt, etc.) He has monster stuff.

Apologies if you've already written it up, but do have you seen any of Whitley's appearances in the Fall League?

Roughly where would Adley Rutschman rank on an MLB top 100 right now? Is FV for draft prospects any different than it is for MLB prospects?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:01
It's the same, you can slot him in that 55 FV tier on the board as that'd be his range right now
Lyle

How would you compare the offensive upsides of Ronny Mauricio, and Wenceel Perez?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:01
Mauricio's frame gives him a chance to grow into a ton of raw power
Xavier

What holds back Adrian Morejon from being a 55? Seems to have the stuff, so I'd have to guess proximity to the Majors and injury history?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:02
The injury history and that we don't think the fastball plays at it's velo because he's a small, short-strider.

3:02
When should we look for a farm system ranking?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:03
When we've updated our opinions of each prospect this offseason and have asset values for each FV tier and can mix each teams' collective farm system value that way.

When will The Untitled McDongenhagen Project be Titled?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:03
I think we're just gonna call it UMP
3:04
Okay, that's my time. Thanks for coming again this week. Hope you're enjoying the playoffs. See you next Thursday.

Oh and, NA, hang in there bud.
