Hey there, it is I. Today's chat will be quick and I will need to update The Board if/when the Realmuto trade is official

Is Morgan Cooper alive
Eric A Longenhagen
2:03
Yes but the Dodgers typically take things very slowly with the injured college pitching they're constantly drafting.
John Stamos
2:04
Any words on Maximo Castillo in the upcoming Blue Jays list?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:04
a bunch of 50s, he's in the Others section
Cave Dameron

How fast can you throw a baseball right now?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:05
Maybe I'd touch 60 with a crow hop? With command I'd probably be in the mid-40s.
2:06
I'm not flexible at all, I'm a near 0 degree external rotation guy because I threw too much as a kid and my shoulder is shredded
Jay
2:06
Any guesses as to how many innings Anderson Espinoza throws this year? A Chris Paddack-esque limit make sense?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:06
I think that's right, always look toward org precedent for stuff like that
Jose Pujols
2:06
Best DSL player you saw this year?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:07
I didn't see any pro ball in the DR but the best guy who came up from the DSL who I saw in the states was Brayan Rocchio
Roger
2:08
Is Sixto Sanchez + Jorge Alfaro an overpay for Realmuto?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:10
I think it's those two and someone we have in the 40 FV tier and no, I don't think that's an overpay for maybe the best catcher in baseball.
Nate

When looking at scouting grades what do they equate to stats wise? Like an 80 power would be 40 bombs? 70 speed 30 steals?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:13
There was a recent post somewhere else that updated these, but this is still close. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/scouting-explained-the-20-80-scouting-scal...
2:14
I can't find the updated post right now, not sure where it was published but it just found the standard deviations for a ton of stats in the big leagues and published those
Jay
2:14
Is Josh Naylor the single-most benefitted prospect if universal DH gets adopted?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:14
He's probably in the team picture but Franmil is also kind of in his way if it happens
Bob
2:15
How would you rank AZL talent last year by team (combining the teams that have 2 squads)?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:15
I'm not gonna rank all 18 teams but I thought CLE clearly had the best group. Arizona, Texas, Cubs were the next few that came to mind.
Diosbel Arias
2:15
Do you anything about me? Good stats in the NWL, but not a lot of info on me online
Eric A Longenhagen
2:16
Yeah I dig you. Scrappy little multi-positional guy with feel to hit, sneaky pop for size. Maybe utility type.
EL
2:16
What's the ETA for Luciano, Canario, Pomares, Toribio? Shouldn't hold my breath, eh?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:16
probably 4-5 years, they're all teens

2:17
Is is a steep over pay if Bohm, Garcia, or Howard end up as the 3rd piece in the Realmuto trade?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:18
Yes but I don't have any indication that Heyman's report that Garcia or Howard are (I don't know what verb he used, 'included'?) is true.
Jay
2:19
Historically for prospects who've dealt with blister problems, are there any who have had promising stuff permanently derailed? Wondering how worried to be about Gore if it persists.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:20
My anecdotal recollection of big leaguers who deal with it is that it's a semi-frequent annoyance at worst, not something that dilutes talent.
Tommyboy
2:20
If you could scout one event in the world, what would it be?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:20
Area Codes, though that may change now that Seoulmate is closed
Blueberry
2:21
Where do the Yankees rank in terms of player development staff? I've gone to games at multiple affiliates and they always seem to have an incredible amount of coaches
Eric A Longenhagen
2:21
near the top
Franch Odelay
2:22
Thoughts on Apostel. Did he improve his stock after the trade to Texas?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:23
A little, but I don't think he improved his stock as much as he was just more widely seen or recognized by public outlets. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-25-prospects-pittsburgh-pirates/
Fat Matt

Huge fan of all the current chats, but Craig should get one too.  I loved his input during the playoff chats.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:24
Craig's better half just had a baby so maybe once he gets settled that'll be a thing again, but I don't know.
gary mack
2:24
My pick is due for my dynasty league - I have the choice between India, Larnach, or Kristian Robinson - who do you take?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:25
Reminder if you have questions like this, they've probably already been answered by the way we've ranked players on the board
