Do you agree that the Padres would take Greene at 3 if they had the 3rd pick and Witt and Addley went 1-2?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:29
no

Who are in the first three tiers of draft prospects?
Deathclaw

Has anything changed with Lolo Sanchez this year or just a case of repeating a level?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:31
Same stuff, which is to say he's pretty talented and has some issues with monochromatic contact and aggressiveness. He's a good prospect.

It's very odd to see the White Sox emphatically interested in Abrams after years of college players. Has something changed strategically with them? What is driving this?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:32
I guess I'd ask if you think their recent strategy is working? I wasn't on Burger, Sheets, that type of player. Not for me.

Caleb Smith and Matt Boyd are two guys whose performance does not equal their reputation. Does that negatively effect the way front offices (and perhaps more importantly, owners) will value them on the trade market? Do teams still care about public perception of what an ace is?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:33
I don't accept the premise. In the bigs, your performance is your reputation.

Is Corbin Carroll to similar to Haseley and Moniak for the Phillies to take?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:34
Not really. Maybe he's somewhat like Mo because it's contact/CF/speed/instincts but there are physical differences that make the comp worse.

With college pitching so weak this year- where would a guy like Reid Detmers have gone should be been eligible?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:35
we have a 45 fv on Detmers and would have him in that tier of the 2019 group

Why can't I lead my own movie?

I'd watch you in a dramatization of your supermarket gunpoint holdup but that might not be the healthiest thing for you, mentally.

In the intro to the Draft BOARD you guys described some teams' approaches to the draft and player development.  What would you say the Padres'  draft and player development philosophy is?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:38
Aggressive, proactive, toolsy, sexy, creative

what do you make of Dylan Carlson’s hot start in AA? Can he be a middle of the order bat?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:39
I'm in, bet he's at the Futures Game

Which position player and which pitcher do you foresee moving up the most in mid-season rankings?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:39
I have to see where Zach Plesac is at. Velo is way up, need to see the breaking ball (Change is plus). Hitter? Probably one of the AZL kids who comes up and blows everyone away like Rocchio last year.
Larry Legend
12:41
Which team do you think will most aggressively try to push a HS pitcher down the board?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:42
I think it's too much to try target individuals because Arizona might wreck your plan. Jack Leiter supposedly has a short list of teams he'd sign with, so maybe one of those make a move to free up cash to sign him.

Is JC Flowers a legit two-way prospect?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:44
Yes, but not as good as Tanner Dodson last year or anything like that.
Charlie

LouBob starting to rip AA pitching. SHOULD, not will, SHOULD he be in Chicago in September?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:45
no
Nate

I know y’all are in full blown draft mode at the moment, but have y’all heard anything more about what’s been going on with Forrest Whitley to start the year?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:45
He was just shut down with an injury
brad nj
12:45
why do people keep saying the big 6 hitters, isn't adams little to no power?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:46
no, he's added mass and has at least average raw now. It isn't playing in games yet because he has a contact-oriented approach, but he's not a weakling.
Charlie
12:46
Compare CJ Abrams to Tim Anderson for me. Profile sounds similar (speed, up the middle athlete) but Anderson seems to have more pop than Abrams whereas he is much more polished? Fair?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:46
they're not similar at all, sorry
12:47
they're each fast, that's it

Chances Luciano is able to stick at SS?
