Stuff concerns?

TEX is a pick where we could've mentioned three names but we limited ourself to one or two. We're hearing more heat there on Manoah and Baty, but Jung would be third

Do teams ever draft a player who is unlikely to sign, in order to get a comp pick in next year's (stronger) draft class?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:01
no

Braves not in on Cavaco or Henderson at 21?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
7:02
i think no on both in terms of high enough on the board to take, but you never know

No question, just wanna say I appreciate what you guys do a great deal. Single (double?) handedly keep me up to date with a whole section of the sport in great detail. Much love from the UK <3

Why isn’t plate discipline a tool yet?

(rolls eyes)
it's not like it's ignored

Are you guys yay or nay in regards to trading draft picks? Does the industry want this? Thanks for all the great stuff.

What has caused Rece Hinds' stock to fall?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
7:03
hasn't performed well this spring and against a lot of 90ish mph arms

Are there recent success stories of teams going underslot with the first pick and it leading to productive players they would not have been able to sign otherwise?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:04
Houston has done it several times
Gotten Daz, McCullers, etc
Andrew

Strictly from a development standpoint, is Lodolo better/worse off than if he signed with the Pirates in '16?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:05
Better, but only took that leap this year
Don

Who had a better bat, JJ Bleday or Zack Collins?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:05
Bleday, Collins was a 40 bat. Walks/power drove that profile
Dan

I’m so pumped to watch the MLB network guys compare all these players to hall of famers
Eric A Longenhagen
7:06
you have to drink when it happens, though I doubt Jim and Carlos do stuff like that. It's a thing the ex players do.

Is there a team that because you admire their draft acumen or philosophy, you are excited to see who they take? Dodgers, Astros, etc?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:07
those teams, LAA, MIN, NYY, we'll learn a lot about ARI tonight too

High school pitchers that if everything comes together for them have the best chance to be a #1 SP?
Eric A Longenhagen

uhhhhh I guess Malone? I just watched deGrom dot 94mph sliders on the corners two nights ago, I'm not sure anyone in this draft is capable of that stuff.

Why are some teams so iffy on Abrams? Make-up issues (his love for baseball etc.)

Some elaboration on this in our report here: https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2019-mlb-draft?type=0&te...

The broadcast will probably say he's Schmidt but what do you have on Jung?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
7:10
Needs a swing chance to enable more lift/pull but he's hit everywhere. Sneaky athletic at 3B so he can play there for awhile even tho he looks big for the position
Paul

First time I've seen Wallner mentioned in the 1st round, what's with the late rise?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
7:10
Scorching hot late, has been in play 30-50 the last month or so
Don

Who is the best HS prospect you've scouted who regularly faced absolutely horrible competition?
Eric A Longenhagen

Adell
William

Any chance Mo Hampton slips to 41 for the Rangers?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
7:10
Yes
