Who are some of the pitchers to keep an eye on in the Angels system?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:49
Hector Yan, siward quino, williams holmes

Stiward Aquino*

The Marlins seemed to be focused on adding leftys to the majors and minors (Jazz, Jesus Sanchez, Bleday, Lewin Diaz, Dickerson, and others are all lefty's). Is there a particular reason they are stocking up there?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:50
i'm not sure it's an explicit strategy, but most of the pitching pop is right-handed

re: corbin burnes - I liked him and had him for a couple years, but as a middle reliever will he really be worth 'buying low'
Eric A Longenhagen
12:51
i disagree with your assumption that he's a reliever long term

Dakota Hudson has pitched well at every level, but people want to dive into his K/9 and his walk rate. Give me reason to believe he can be the #2 starter by years end.

This is more informational than accusartory.  When you and kylie evaluate players, do you care at all about "fantasy" or is it exclusively from a real world baseball perspective?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:52
real world

How often do you guys evaluate post hype prospects. Thinking about a guy like Rosasio or Arcia who were both consensus top 10 prospects (maybe not by you guys) but have flamed out mostly, Arcia especially. If so, what has hurt arcia the most?

there's a Prospect Limbo piece annually, during prospect week (mid-February)

Is Tarik Skubal's fastball that good and are his secondaries bad? Has he experimented with increasing breaking ball usage?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:54
67% fastball, yes it's a great heater. Velo is above average but other traits make it play like a 70-grade pitch (vertical movement, mostly), secondaries are all closer to average. All the MLB starters with fastball usage in that range are sinker guys, Skubal is not.

Is jose iglesias a fair comp for Nick Allen?

yes

How much would an individual team's prospect list change if compiled first versus last?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:57
Let's take the Cubs. The Cubs have winter instructs happening very soon. If I did that list first, none of what happens at that camp would be included in the info on the list. This is why the Cubs list is schedule to run when it does, as teams who have no offseason activity like this were moved toward the front of the line. I can't say exactly how it impacts stuff, it depends on the team and individual players, but there's logic applied to how we go about auditing each org.

are there any prospects who you were surprised by once you saw their EV data? (in either a good or bad way)
Eric A Longenhagen
12:59
Dylan Carlson (very vanilla), X Edwards (worse), DJ Gladney's (way higher)

if you were putting a FV grade on tommy edman now, would it be up from 40? or does that question even make sense after a guy has 350 MLB PAs?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:01
45? I don't think 2019's statline is emblematic of his future. Think he's a good multi-positional player, a great role player on a competitive team.

Who is the most physically jacked minor leaguer? (this question may or may not have been inspired by Stanton bench pressing a supermodel)
Eric A Longenhagen
1:03
Adell was doing 66-inch box jumps last week, so that's freaking nuts. Kopech is a monster, too.

Any minor league arms that will be returning from TJ this year that you think have a shot to gain some momentum?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:04
Corbin Martin, Jairo Solis, Kopech, Lenny Torres.... lots

Hey Eric, what would be a good comp for Pache's floor and a good comp for Pache's ceiling?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:07
Floor: We hope Kevin Pillar
Ceiling: Those peak BJ Upton years but over a longer period of time

Hi Eric, bit of a random prospect question. Do you know anything about Tommy Parsons? I can'f find much info on him other than basic pitching data like IP, K%, and BB%. He seems to have pretty good control based on his bb%. I was wondering if you had any additional information on him
Eric A Longenhagen

88-91, touch 93, more spin than usual at that velo, front side opens up creating something like Michael Wacha's arm slot (though not that extreme) has 40/45 curveball that he locates glove side
that's what I've got

Will Yandy Diaz play full time? More than 25 HR?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:12
I doubt it. Has gotten too big and stiff to play 3B in my opinion, 1B/DH/LF really packed in TB.

Which 2019 J2 guy you highest on? Peña, Vera or Puason?
