Has Darwinzon Hernandez's AFL performance done anything to change your evaluation of him?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:10
Nope, he looked as advertised.

What's your favorite number between 5 to 7? Mine is 6.
Eric A Longenhagen

5.7

Any insight into what went wrong in the Mariner international scouting department (or domestic) leading to the spate of firings?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:14
I don't think anything was wrong with it and that it was just part of an org-wide shakeup. Like all of Tim Kissner's signee were traded, they were valued around baseball, those are good otucomes.
John Kreese
3:14
Would a Brandon Wood type player still be considered such a high prospect or would the Ks be a much bigger concern these days?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:14
He'd be red flagged, but so was Judge, remember?
3:15
And Moncada was not (at least by me)
Jerry

I'm looking for an undervalued catching prospect blocked in current system. Do those exist?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:17
One of Knizner/Kelly? Connor Wong? Austin Allen if you think he catches? Michael Perez?

Who do you think will ultimately have the better pro career between Bart and Ruschman from Oregon St.?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:18
I'd take Adley #PlayBadlyForAdley

With the Blue Jays recent hire of Carson Cistulli, is it likely that other analytically minded Front Offices will follow and introduce their own Poetry Departments to utilize melancholy as a tool for player development?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:19
Yes and then we'll lose Meg

How confused were you by the Flyers action of firing Ron Hextall??
Eric A Longenhagen
3:20
The other sports have kinda melted away and I know more about Gritty than I do the defensive pairings

I've seen several people say that they think Harper stays home in Washington recently. Any particular reason that this thought is becoming more common?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:21
I guess I've just always assumed he'd re-sign. I may have answered that in a previous chat.

Love the lists so far. You guys have Keston Hiura's ETA as 2019. This is faster than I expected, what's the rationale behind it? Is it his performance that demands promotion or is it the Brewers' need at 2B (with the Schoop news)?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:21
Yes

I was surprised to see you thought Mauricio Dubon might get a chance to displace Arcia as the Brewers' everyday SS next year. I've thought their bats were fairly similar, with the definite defensive advantage to Arcia. Do you think Arcia's bat will continue to be first-half-of-2018 bad, or is Dubon better offensively than I'm giving him credit? (Or both?)
Eric A Longenhagen
3:22
If Arcia is what he looked like in October then I'd take him.

Chances that Alec Hansen turns it around? Any other similar cases where a guy just dominated competition(Non age related) and then completely fell off a cliff?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:23
I think 2017 was the anomaly.

Have you ever revised projectability on a guy? For example, a guy is drafted as a bit of a bad body guy, poor work ethic, and is what he is. The following offseason, he leans up big time, and shows up with room to add muscle. I know this is probably an incredibly rare circumstance, but has someone wowed you like this, had you flipping the eval on its head?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:24
Yes, a director called this 'reverse projection' where the body, etc. are bad and get better through a pro conditioning program, etc. Forrest Whitley is an example of this. Bo Bichette, too. Soft-bodied guys as rising seniors, worked hard and the talent exploded.
3:26
Okay, well I'm over time so that'll be it for this week. I think we'll chat next week but not the week after due to Rule 5. See you then.
