But based on how he's playing if you wanna bump him to a 40+ to indicate he has sneaky upside, you could. Seems like SEA is going to give him regular playing time for a while and that's enough to give him value in many fantasy formats.

Austin Meadow looked like a star to be in 2019, but not much to show for this year. Do you think this is just a short season/adjustment (or lack there of) thing, or is something in between the two years more of the real him?

Yeah late last year I thought he clearly looked like TB's best player and he just hasn't been very good this season. Jeff Zimmerman wrote this: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/sprint-speed-changes-lots-of-guys-out-of...
I wouldn't immediately conclude all of those guys were out of shape but I do think it's interesting.

Tell me fun things about Marco Luciano? Future #1 overall prospect?

Do you think William Contreras showed enough to be considered the Braves' catcher of the future? His swing in spring training and later from the clips from the alternate site really impressed me.

Yes, I think he's the guy
like him more than Langeliers

Jared Walsh's tools are all listed as 40 or better (mostly much better) but his FV is onl 35+, why is that? How is FV determined if not based on the tools?
Eric A Longenhagen
basically it describes his role
12:59
In this case 35+ would be "Hey this is an 4A hitter who has huge power and a two-way background that might indicate he has some late-developing upside"

Walsh graduated from rookie eligibility as a 35+ (I can't go back and retroactively change my opinion of him), but based on how he's looked lately he's better than that

Is there still some hope for Francisco Mejia?

looks like they've stopped him from switch hitting (at least, I saw him hit righty vs a righty earlier this week) so let's see if that makes him better at ID'ing balls and strikes. I think we're likely to see him moved out fom behind the plate and put in LF again, though.

Did you see Deyni Olivera pitch in 2019. What do you hear about him if anything.
Eric A Longenhagen
1:04
I did! Man, you're going deep. Deceptive 89-93 with great command, 45 curveball that he knows how to use. Recipe for carving low level hitters but don't know if the stuff will play at upper levels. Will have to keep proving it.

Do you think Cleveland tries to stretch Quantrill out next year as a starter? I recall a piece last year that said there were traces of pre-breakout Lucas Giolito in his profile.
Eric A Longenhagen

I think they will, yeah.

What would you look for in a prospect like Freddie Freeman that would give the indication he’d turn into a top 10 hitter in MLB without elite power
Eric A Longenhagen
1:05
Man, that's tough. You'd just have to see/project him as a 70 or better hitter, right?

alright folks, that's my hour. Thanks for coming again this week. I've gotta move (again) soon (I know, Covid sucks) so my chat schedule may be variable for the next few weeks but I'm sure we'll talk soon. Hope everyone's still doing the right stuff and staying well. bye bye for now
