Also, caution against taking too much from Sept performance. The talent pool is diluted by call ups. That's my Fanalysis.

I know it's a crap shoot but what team (s) do a better job of finding prospects in the later rounds?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:32
The ones who identify good high school prospects signable for 125-250k by building relationships and sourcing good info, and teams who know how to target college pitching with a TrackMan

Sad to hear how far away the graduated grades are, but thanks for the answer
Eric A Longenhagen
3:34
Yeah sorry, it's going to take an insane amount of work on the guts of the site to set things up in a way that we can keep maintained

Any DSL/AZL Brewer guys to know about?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:34
Brewers list is here, stop spamming https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-32-prospects-milwaukee-brewers/

the reds have a minor leaguer named fidel castro?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:35
Yes and his amateur trainer goes by simply, 'Banana'
Billy Beane
3:35
Will the A’s sign Robert Puason in July? Where would he rank?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:36
Still think they sign him but maybe not for the initially reported figure due to sudden lack of projectability. Sounds like he also matured early.

Is Cody Bolton a guy?  Didn't see him on the Pirates list.
Eric A Longenhagen
3:36
He's on there
Luciano's Agent
3:37
When people see Luciano looks incredible, what does that mean? Like ready for full-season ball, like a better prospect than thought of befroe?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:37
Like he has 6 raw power right now and is better at SS than he was as an amateur, which is to say he might actually stay there now.

Most likely in Oakland’s system to break out this year?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:38
Whichever of the pitchers stays healthy, finally.

Can you ever think of a prospect (or a few!) that for whatever reason you really really believed in, but couldn't justify grading high, and then when he ended up a stud you felt like a knucklehead for not trusting your gut?

Would you classify Bo Bichettes 2018 as disappointing?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:40
No, I'd classify Lansing as a launching pad
giants

people are talking about reading your giants intstrux info but Ihave not seen any articles?

Have you guys ever considered doing different tool grades for switch hitters on the board?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:41
Ooh, no but that's kinda cool

If a Cubs OF prospect broke out in 2019 - who would you bet on? Roederer, Gutierrez, Velazquez, Davis? Yes Gutierrez as in Jose Gutierrez
Eric A Longenhagen
3:42
Roederer has already kinda broken out so I guess Davis
Ace

Which young shortstop would you take long term between Swanson, Rosario, Tim Anderson, and Orlando Arcia?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:43
Amed, just so talented

Tell me anything you'd like about a Dodgers prospect or the system itself.

Go to the 9min mark of this video and feast your eyes on Jeremiah Vison, who is a 7 runner.

I can't wait to see Colin Poche in the majors. I feel like he's a huge case study for deception. Think this might be one of the more unexplored areas of pitching?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:46
It's a thing we can't quantify for minor leaguers because we don't have a full trackman readout that we can sort by extension or by a delta in expected SwStr% and actual SwStr%. All the spin rates you see on the board are individually sources from local growers.

Is Tyler Freeman a 45 FV for you now?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:47
Maybe, but as a high probability 45 or 50 not a guy I think could be a 60+ who's just far away.
B
3:47
Any consideration to making prospect valuations by level or by age?  Instead of a 50 FV being worth $28M, could we get a 50 FV in AAA worth $28M +/- $5M and a 50 FV in AZL worth $28M +/- $15M?
