Both have a shot to go back of the 2nd round, more likely 3rd or even early 4th
Eric A Longenhagen
9:00
very little of that this year because Arizona is a huge roadblock
1st pick 43
9:01
when is the most recent example of a tema going underslot at number 1 and it obviously paying off? As in the the underslot turned out ok and the subsequent picks were winners?

Houston with Correa, saving spent on McCullers and Rio Ruiz
passed on Buxton basically for those 3
Connor Joe Buck
9:06
How do draft and IFA spending affect each other? If the FO/owners know they have a large draft pool, are they less likely to sign off on big IFA signings?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:06
not good ones
Mmmmms
9:07
Still have SEA with Jones or Kirby?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:07
yep

Pretty sure I'm watching NFL draft with the time between the picks
Eric A Longenhagen
9:07
guess the studio needs a band?

What would an underslot selection look like for the Rays at 22?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:10
hmmm, doubt Hoese takes a cut there

Who would win in a fight, Thirsty Kiley or Not Thirsty Logenhagen?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:11
well if I'm properly hydrated...

make a poll!
Eric A Longenhagen
9:16
good idea
9:17

As someone who follows the Cleveland system quite a bit, tell me that Michael Busch's profile doesn't read as close to Mike Papi as I think it does.
Eric A Longenhagen
9:18
much more raw thimp
9:19
thump, also

This is what I want. Big leaguers reading teleprompters.

i'm digesting the broadcast through your comments, everyone.
Jim, Jonathan, the BA guys...they all do a great job. The broadcast elements need help. I'd love to do our own.

Trevor Bauer retire immediately and join the booth
Eric A Longenhagen
9:22
He and I woudln't be best friends or anything, but he does a great job breaking down pitching. A good communicator.

Who do you think the Pirates take at 37?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:22
Callihan if he's there, i think
Connor
9:23
I like Shewmake, but does he seem like a bit of a reach to you at 21?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:24
I think things are tightly packed in that area and you can justify it. If underslot, feels better. But we don't have intel indicating either way.
Jason
9:25
Greg Jones signability? Slot? Under?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:25
believe slot, think he was in play in this area with other clubs
Them Rays Boy
9:26
Rays have to be the toughest team to get #scoops from right?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:26
they were the first pick in a while that we didn't have first
Julianne
9:26
How many picks are there on day 1?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:26
first two rounds
Connor Joe Buck
9:26
hearing Misner connected with any upcoming picks?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
9:26
NYY the most, also CHC and OAK some. Teams that trust their player dev to tweak a swing.
Kent
9:28
Does CHC still have any cred for developing hitters after Schwarber and Happ have been disappointing?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:28
yes, Hoerner made huge improvements right away
