Good morning, all. There truthfully aren't many of you in here so looks like this will be a quick one.
Pete
12:15
Who should we expect to rise in the next update of the BOARD for the 2021 draft?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:15
After showcase stuff is through
TDK
12:16
Should Ke’Bryan Hayes be the Pirates starting third baseman right now?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:17
Maybe not *right* now but I'd like to see it soon, especially since the DH enables them to play him, Bell and Moran all at once
AJ
12:17
Better prospect as an amateur, Zac Veen or David Dahl?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:19
At the same stage? Veen. I could see making an argument for Double-A Dahl vs present, high school Veen but the injury stuff would still put him behind Veen for me.

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the Dodgers new young trio of pitchers, Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin and Josiah Gray. Do you see them all being productive major league starters moving forward
Eric A Longenhagen
12:19
Yes, all of them. Gonsolin perhaps in a multi-inning relief role because of his command but still working a ton of innings, generally.

Any chance we see Drew Waters and Cristian Pache up with the Braves this year?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:21
Sure, all it takes is a little COVID and you might see both at once.
Chris
12:21
Has your opinion changed on Kyle Lewis now that he's starting to adjust to off speed pitches and looks a lot healthier and more athletic in the field?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:22
You could slap a + on the back end of his 45 FV and I wouldn't argue. Glad he's crushing, still think the strikeouts mean he's outside the 100, though.
Mark
12:22
Do you have any visibility to how 2020 draftee's have looked in camp?
JT
12:22
Hey, Eric! Do you think you'll trust reports out of alternate sites enough to change anyone's FV this year, or are they basically locked until MiLB starts up again? Thanks!
Darren
12:22
Getting any juicy info from the Royals alternate training site on prospects there?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:23
Just so everyone knows, scouts aren't allowed at alternate training sites, and so any info coming out of there (not just from me but from all writers) is coming directly from the team, which means you should take it with a huge grain of salt.
12:24
No team is going to tell a reporter "yeah this guy looks bad at camp", and I don't think we've heard of any injuries occurring at the alternate sites, which seems impossible.
Darren
12:24
Seen anything from Singer's 3 starts that would adjust your evaluation of him one way or another?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:24
nope
Darren
12:24
Are the Dodgers messing with Lux's service time or are there real reasons to keep him down?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:25
He struggles to throw the ball to first base accurately
Schiraldi
12:25
What kind of visibility do teams have on other teams' prospects right now? Are they able to scout the alternate site games in person, does any data get published? Assuming there's not very much, would you expect that to keep the trade market quiet this summer and during the offseason, since no one has current intell on prospects?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:25
No data collected at the alt sites is being shared
I expect most trades will involves PTBNLs
Joe
12:26
For those of us scouting amateurs from home, what’s the best way to watch showcases and college summer leagues? Is a subscription to a site the way to go?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:28
Yep, wherever you can find it. I certainly won't recommend going to see stuff in person right now. Ya know, because of the global pandemic.
Billy G
12:28
Are you watching more MLB with the offsite camps closed off?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:28
yes, rather than an AZL most nights I'm watching big league games and hoops
ryan
12:28
any thoughts on Tejay Antone so far in 2020? roughly what you'd expect of him going forward (with all the requisite "small sample" caveats)?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:30
He's been basically what I've got in the report except with a little more heat
asnbrv
12:30
what exactly are teams allowed to do in their "alternate site" this year? Are they playing intrasquad games on top of instructions to the kids?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:30
yep
Pat
12:31
Is there a chance that practicing/playing vs older players may actually be beneficial for a prospect vs playing? Thinking of a guy like Riley Greene. Does he learn more at A Ball or scrimmaging with 24-26 year old guys in Toledo?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:32
I think yes, he and young prospects like him are almost certainly seeing the best pitching of their entire lives right now.
Giodude
12:32
What's your scouting/travel schedule been like these days? What's different, and what's (perhaps surprisingly) the same?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:33
I haven't seen live baseball since March
nothing is the same
Gil
12:33
Is something is wrong with the board? FV on the the (Scouting Only) page is different than on Scouting + Stats!.
Eric A Longenhagen
12:33
I'll alert Dolinar
