Does Cole Tucker grow into any sort of power?  He's hitting well in the AFL and did well the second half of last season.  Do you see him hitting the ground running in AAA this upcoming season?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:13
Really pounding it into the ground here, but there's a foundation for lift if he can be more direct to the baseball. It'll require good timing, though.

Super SSS, but how does Kieboom look at 2B?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:13
Hands haven't been great down here, 6 arm though.

is German Marquez the real deal, or a 1/2 season wonder?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:15
I buy it. That slider really developed during the season. In Feb, it and his changeup were both no bueno.
KC fan

What do you think of Khalil Lee? 55 a bit rich?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:15
50 with swing and miss risk, hence the 45 FV

Romero, Gonsalves, Stewart, Mejia--whom do you like best long term as a starter for the Twins?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:16
Romero is he's healthy.

Have you gotten to see Mariel Bautista at all? Reds prospect hounds seem to be really high on him.
Eric A Longenhagen
3:18
Sure. Wiry 6-foot-3 guy with bat speed, can run, cahnce to stay in CF, we'll see how the swing develops.

You mentioned Cleveland as one org restructuring amateur scouting. Any reason been mentioned, if you've heard anything? Is that pretty common every time a team has a new amateur scouting director as they do? Or do you think some less than ideal results from drafts prompted that?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:20
They re-assigned crosscheckers. Not an internal indictment of their draft process, sounds like they just thought there was a lot of overlap.

Re: the Bahamian SS’s.. who are they??? For those of us that don’t know these guys’ origin.

Jazz Chisholm and Lucius Fox

How do you decide what order to do the prospect lists in?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:23
I start teams without instructional league games and/or imporant fall leaguers first, since there's not going to be more learned about those teams from Oct. onward.

What do you think about royals INF prospect rubendy jaquez?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:23
Stocky kid with plus bat speed. He's interesting.

Do you think that planning relief pitching in such a way that a pitcher new going into a game exactly when he would pitch, so as to limit warming up multiple times per game, warming up for games he doesn't pitch in, pitching multiple days in a row, etc. would allow teams to get more innings out of relievers?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:24
Yeah, maybe not more innings (but maybe more innings) but perhaps quality of appearances would be altered.

Gabriel Arias, Kristian Robinson and Ronny Marucio.  Who has highest ceiling and who highest floor?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:25
Ceiling: If Mauricio stays at SS and hits and hits for power
3:26
Floor: Arias' glove at SS
Reagan

can anyone see this?

No, go back to sleep, Mr. President.

That's all for me. Look forward to talking to you again next Thursday. Remember, the Fall Stars Game is broadcast on MLB Network this Saturday. I assume it'll be online via the MLB.com homepage, too. There's a lot of talent on the rosters and I think you'd enjoy it.
