Is this improved Ljay Newsome something to get excited about? What's the chance he ranks with Gilbert, Dunn, and Sheffield at the end of the year?

velo up a bit, and some other improvements: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/daily-prospect-notes-4-15-19/

Recently some NFL media draft experts have gotten looks at general manager jobs (Mayock to the Raiders and Daniel Jeremiah had heat from the Jets). Do you ever see that happening in baseball?
Eric A Longenhagen

Directly to GM? No. Maybe a Special Assistant job (wink wink) would be good.

Do any of the lower tier football guys project to sign? Ealy, Bowen, Plumlee etc.

I love the draft summary you guys put together. That information is very helpful in the future, to provide context. Is there any way you could link that to the board so it could be more readily accessed later?
Eric A Longenhagen

it'll be on the prospects home page: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/

Thoughts on the best strategy for the D-Backs? Use that huge bonus pool to load up on overslot guys early?

I'd diversify, anchor with college pitching in that sandwich round mix

After that driveline analysis, the White Sox need to fire their whole development staff, right?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:05
that's an extreme course of action but I agree it's not working

Did Kevin Cron make a legitimate step forward in AAA or was he just a product of the juiced ball?

I'm not buying it any more than I was buying Christian Walker

Is Hunter Bishop much different from Greyson Jenista as a prospect?  Their draft profiles read similarly to me, and mandatory swing changes make me nervous.
Eric A Longenhagen
1:06
Bish is a 6 runner, better body, real shot to stay in CF. Jenista's swing was way more a mess.

Eric, how do you weigh risks in the ranking.  Like how does a SP who as close to a sure thing but will be a 3/4 rank vs a guy like Pint who throws 100, but has maybe 10% chance to stay healthy develop control and be a 1/2.  I am sure the guy like Pint will rank higher, but not sure he should.  is there some formula with celiing times likeliness to pan out?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:07
the risk part is totally subjective, we take it case by case. A sure thing 3/4 is a 55 FV, we have a 40+ on Pint (probabl reliever, but chance it's a special one if that's the case)

Eric A Longenhagen

probably the week after the draft, but I'll be at PG National and DPN will be dominated by that event
