guys who play everyday but end up in the bottom third of the WAR leaderboard for their position. CJ Cron types, Leonys Martin, etc.

Nick Madrigal thoughts? Believer? He is heating up in A+ and running all over the place

Is there >20% chance of Toglia from UCLA going in the 1st round? If so, who are you hearing him being attached to? Thanks.
Eric A Longenhagen
12:50
Probably not, we have him 2nd round with Colorado and Oakland

No question from me, just thanks for motivating me to watch college baseball this year. I live near Purdue and followed season online, went to a few games.

Is Heliot Ramos' hot start for real?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:51
yes, tools are back after they were down last year
Brendan

Does Illinois State's John Rave get  drafted? If yes, when would he go?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:52
day 3, I think. We'll have a regional prospect preview up soon (Meg has it)

Does it feel weird that the Yankees are 25th in farm system rankings.... what would it take for them to jump in top 15? Is signing Dominguez enough? Or do they need their short season guys to take the next step?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:53
You can deduce that stuff for yourself by adding together the FV asset values needed to push them into that arbitrary range
Connor Joe Buck
12:53
Any word on how Kaprielian's stuff has looked in his short starts since getting back?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:53
No bueno, 88-92 while rehabbing here in AZ
D
12:53
Duran? Duran? How much has your opinion changed on him this year?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:54
I'm glad we were heavy on him entering the year (Kiley drove that bus) but gotta see college hitters do it at upper levels, imo.

I have a nephew pitching in Northern Idaho, do those kids ever get drafted?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:55
yes but it's rare. Idaho is tough to scout, Northwest area scouts typically have it but not always.
Brian
12:55
How likely is it that Bishop falls to the Giants at 10?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:56
He's maybe, maybe a sleeper at 6, in play at 8 and 9. It's probably close to 50/50 but trending up
Hi
12:56
I don't understand the Madrigal response.
Eric A Longenhagen
12:56
we've been on Nicky for a long time and there are places on this website where that's obvious
Josh
12:56
Odds that McIllwain signs and finally focuses on baseball full time?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:57
(shrug) the whole situation has been a disaster, in my opinion.
He probably has no pro football future
Kyle
12:57
Who would you rather have in your org Vaugh or Greene?
Eric A Longenhagen

I guess I need to start doing links at the onset of each chat again. Here are our draft rankings: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2019-mlb-draft?sort=-1,1...

Why isn't Corbin Carroll a top 10 prospect in this draft?  Seems like the recent success of shorter and smaller framed players should mitigate that concern.
Eric A Longenhagen
12:58
approach to contact limits power output. We really like him
Kyle
12:58
Is all hope lost for Franklin Perez
Eric A Longenhagen
12:59
No, but he sure is hurt a lot and i agree it's discouraging.
Gest

Who do you like more, Lodolo or Manoah?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:00
I think it's close but we have Lodolo ahead of Manoah right now
Here's the regional preview

Do players drafted in the late rounds tend to know they're going to be drafted, or does it come as a surprise?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:01
typically a surprise, lots find out after it happens rather than listen to the conference call
Matt Klentak

How often does an area scout get "shut out" as in no kids they scouted ended up being drafted by their organization? Is it the writing on the wall for that area scout?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:01
it's often just random, not always a sign the scout is doomed
