Heyman says Bryce to PHI

Wow so surprised a Boras client signing was broken by Heyman

Cal Quantrill seems to have fallen a little as a prospect. Your thoughts?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:06
Yeah he wasn't on our 100 two 100s ago and we got yelled at
lol my chat question queue is just a wall of you all telling me Harper signed, which I sincerely appreciate
Earl

13 years for Harper. Wow
Eric A Longenhagen

holy shiiiit
Harper's deal is about as long as he was years old when it was clear he was going to be good

Need your honest opinion here, Eric.....My league mates think I'm so smart since I have a law degree.  I often circumvent the rules of our league, NGNL, to my benifit.  Does that make me a cheat?

no but don't do that stuff in real life. It's fine to be hypershrewd with that stuff. Some guy who was new to a football league I was in once said aloud 'I hope Antonio Gates gets to me' and my buddy LaBar and I traded up to the pick in front of him to take him. I'm coming for the trophy, yo.
But give them a chance to re-write the rules so there aren't loopholes, that's called cooperation and it's good

Do you, even just a little bit, cheer for players to get paid more than what their "Market Value" is? Or do you like the idea that analytics has provided the market a step closer to a "True value"? if such a thing could even exist...
Eric A Longenhagen

of course i want guys to get paid, most of all because I want top athletic talent to want to play baseball. Money isn't the only or most influential variable for certain individuals (it wouldn't be mine) but it doesn't hurt

With the Yanks depth at OF, why not trade Clint Frazier to the Indians for someone like Tyler Freeman. Yanks get a young guy with lots of potential, Indians get immediate help. Makes sense right
Eric A Longenhagen

Yes, that type of deal (maybe not that specific deal) makes sense from a 40-man, talent equilibrium standpoint
okay I must go
thanks for coming, this was a 60 chat
see you next week
