Can you give a bit more detail on the "palpable buzz" you mentioned in your Gabriel Rodriguez writeup? Better tools than advertised, or more just good in-game looks on the backfields?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:20
He showed up for camp looking strong, people see him working hard at the complex. It's a feel/instincts amateur who's working to improve his physical tools. That's exciting.
Donald

Jarren Duran is really looking like a steal in the draft last year.  Is he moving up to a 45 or 50 FV soon?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:21
He's crushing it and yeah, Kiley and I have already talked about probably having to move him.
Christopher Nolan Reimold
1:21
Ti'quan Forbes - still only 22 (almost 23 though), and off to a nice start in AA, but wasn't on Chicago's list. What kept him from making it even as a late mention?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:22
Yeah maybe he should have been on as a 35 FV you keep alive because he's got the long term body, some pop, is still young. Ceiling is probably jsut a 40, though.
Scout

If you had a dog, what would you name it?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:24
ummm, Stromile? maybe Petunia or something?
Nils
1:24
In response to earlier question, what kind of ceiling does Aaron Ashby have?  Is he likely to remain in the rotation?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:25
I think so. I think he can get by with fb/crv/sld as long as he commands the breaking stuff.
Brady
1:25
How often can we expect to see updated mock drafts?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:25
Based on the number of questions like this, I'd say we do too few of them. But it's just when we have enough new info to make it worthwhile in a way that's not clickbaity.
Mason

Patrick Sandoval promoted to Triple-A. Dude is racking up the Ks. Thoughts on him?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:27
Don't think he's a top 100 type or anything, but the fastball will play above its velo and his changeup has gotten better. Could be a #4/5
Mario Mendoza
1:27
Zac Gallen excelling in AAA. Have you seen any of him this year? Any reason to bump up FV?
Carl
1:27
Has something changed with Edward Cabrera?  He was dominant this week and this is his first time in the Florida League. Whats his upside outcome?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:28
^^^Is the new dev group in Miami starting to get its footing?
Jeb
1:29
Why did Matt Wieters  miss expectations?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:29
They were sky-high and catchers just take such a beating that it has real impact on what they do, offensively
mike sixel

Any immediate help in the Twins' minors for that bullpen? thanks....
Eric A Longenhagen
1:31
I'd bet on one of Quezada, Smeltzer or Moran racing up there
Christopher Nolan Reimold
1:31
Is Osiris Johnson still in extended? Any updates there?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:32
he's out for the season but with what I can't rememeber
Justin
1:33
Corbin Martin hasn't even been averaging 5 innings per start.  Is this a result of his own durability shortcomings, his own command/efficiency shortcomings, or do you think the Astros are just saving some bullets?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:33
probably the latter
Cows

Tyler Beede is walking fewer batters than last year, but more than earlier years in his career. What's the long term hope for his control?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:33
40, relief for me
dilbert
1:34
When should we start seeing promotions in the minors?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:34
at the 6-8 week mark
and then after the draft
Jose
1:35
How likely is it for Zach Willeman to improve pitch consistency and be talked about in the same way that Buehler was pre-debut?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:35
not very, Walker's stuff was so, so good immediately.
Jonathan
1:35
Zack Collins is really performing at the plate in his first taste of AAA. Anything new on him behind the plate? Will he see time at C in the Show this year?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:36
He's a 'no' for me back there, sorry
Barney Fife
1:36
Whats the expected rollout for the final four prospect teams left??
Eric A Longenhagen
1:37
Padres are next (I' m going to leave soon to work on it), then Rockies, Dbacks, Giants
Doug
1:37
Quantrill’s velocity has been up, any chance he can live up to original hype? Or is he destined to be a swing man / spot starter type?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:38
Velo is up but it's a 2-seamer so I don't think he's going to be a big strikeout guy. #4/5 for me
Not
1:38
Hey Eric, has Yerry Rodriguez creeped into the top 100 convo? And have you heard anything on Ronny Henriquez? (Gonna forever mix those two up in my head)
Eric A Longenhagen
1:40
Not yet on Yerry but if he pitches like this all year, yeah. Henriquez is placed aggresively on a good Rangers list: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2019-prospect-list?sort=...
