they almost always fall on draft day

last year you guys nailed deep picks, like jackson to LAA at 47. any similar locks for them or another team in the range this year? how were you able to be so certain about stuff like that one?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:36
it's just from being at games, taking a look around, shutting up and listening to what people are saying rather than trying to assert yourself into conversatois, and getting on the phone with the right people. We sure do have some intel on 2nd round stuff, but why give it away right now? That's what the final mock is for.

Konnor Pilkington has put up very good numbers in A/High A so far. Is this more reflective of the competition or a bounce-back of his velocity?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:37
i don't have velo reports from this year but SEC arms better carve A-ball

Darwinzon Hernandez:  44 K, 25 BB in 31 IP in AA.  What are the chances that guy like this learns control?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:38
small, we have him projected as an elite reliever

W/r/t Carter Stewart, would he be a free agent after the 6 year contract or would he still need his team to post him for him to come over?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:38
we just don't know. this has no precedent. I'm sure MLB would fight to keep costs down however they can.
Nate

What's up with Oscar Gonzalez in the Indians system? He continues to hit year after year but seems allergic to walks. Is there anything there?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:39
has real toos to hit but the approach makes him high-risk.
Nate

Is Zach Plesac a guy worth monitoring? He's come out of nowhere with lines that look very similar to Shane Bieber's over the last couple of years in the minors.
Eric A Longenhagen
12:41
yes. Velo is up without detracting from strikes, change is plus
Simon
12:41
Has Mitchell White turned a corner, or same story basically?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:41
he's been consistently inconsistent as a pro and I have to expect that to continue
Nate
12:42
When is Luzardo going to be back?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:43
sounds like it'll still be a few weeks. I've been trying to stay on top of what's happening in Mesa and it looks like Luzardo may not be back until AZL or close to it
Ted
12:44
How seriously should we take Cavan Biggio? What's a realistic outcome for him?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:45
I just don't think he can play 2B, thnk he's a low-end corner OF regular at this point. I know the numbers are goofy.

What's the youngest age you're personally willing to invest time and effort into seeing and evaluating a prospect (ie Blaze Jordan)?  What's your take on the young slugging lad?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:47
if I run into underclass high schoolers naturally (which happened more than usual this year) then cool, but I rarely go out of my way just to see them
on Jordan? I'm skeptical. Classic mature build r/r profile.

Loved your SF Giants top 10 but was surprised not to see Conor Menez mentioned. Any thoughts on his ceiling?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:48
fringe stuff that plays up due to plus plus extension, maybe backend type.

Putting aside bonuses and things like that, is Lodolo the consensus #1 pitcher off the board?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:49
nah, lots of folks aren't big on Lodolo

Is Drew Rasmussen the primary cause of the Global Helium Shortage?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:49
lol, that's very clever
all time chat question

"i'M eRiC LoNgEnHaGen. pRoSpEcTs. dEvElOpInG a tHiRd PiTcH." that's literally what you sound like
Eric A Longenhagen

Have there been typos or something? I'm chatting on my phone and am terrible at texting.

Mitch Keller recently added a slider/cutter, are you encouraged by this development? I know he wasn't having much success with the changeup.
Eric A Longenhagen
12:51
yes, could be big

Do teams ever use rapsodo/blast/edgertronic for predraft workouts or do they only get Trackman data?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:51
they do use that stuff
Chaise

How aggressive do you see TB being with Franco?  Do you think he jumps to High A after the All-Star Break, assuming he keeps doing what he's doing?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:53
Kiley and I both think they should push him until he fails for the first time, just so he has the opportunity to reckon with it before he's in the bi,g league spotlight
Zach
12:53
Is Matt Manning or Nate Pearson more likely to reach their ceiling as a top of the rotation starter?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:53
manning, he's the better athlete
