Could you Define what you mean be a tweener? Fraley for example, is there concerns that he doesn't have enough of certain tools to succeed?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:11
Tweeners typically lack no-doubt CF ability and power typical for a corner. Brett Gardner was/is a tweener. But his contact and OBP skills were incredible so he profile anyway. That's the type of thing tweener tools guys need to have to suceed and sometimes it happens.

Your Astros write-up lists Enoli Paredes with a 92-94 mph FB.
Watched him last week sitting 95-98 on the stadium radar.  Step forward, or hot gun at the park?

actually have fresh notes there, let me check for you

What point do we start to identify a swing change? Is it when the batted ball profile shifts? Is it two weeks of good results, or is a scout look with in game access to a players swing plane an approach?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:13
batted ball profile shifts may be an indication of a changeandwe can then go check ourselves if there's been one. SOmtimes we see it with our own eyes before we notice the data, or get told by a scout

Eric A Longenhagen

Is the expectation that Tyler Freeman will slow down once he reaches AA, or are we nearing labeling him as a 50 FV?

How much reliever-risk is there with Jhoan Duran?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:14
i don't think there's a ton
1:15
back to Enoli Paredes: I've got him 93-97 touching 99 this year, so stuff is up

Have you seen Triston McKenzie down there?  Is he throwing yet?  Been tough to find anything on him.  Any ETA?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:16
I'm similary frustrated. He's definitely down here, though.
Smiley McFriendhole

At what point do you at least consider moving a prospect's ETA? I'm wondering if guys like Patino and Grayson Rodriguez are on track to debut before 2023 as listed.
Eric A Longenhagen
1:16
it's really just a 40-man timeline that we maybe shift case by case

If Franco keeps hitting this good or better the rest of the season and makes it to at least double-A, does he have a shot at an 80 future value?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:16
yes

So we are over half way through the MiL season, would you say the Orioles system as a whole has had a good year, more so in the pitching department?

Have you seen Abrams? Will he get promoted to a fort wayne this year?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:19
i have. Maybe late August? Not enough that it'll matter, could just be a reward for crushing rookie ball
