you've said previously you were impressed with duggar in the AFL. what do you see out of him now? can he be a regular CF?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:08
Yes. Bat/glove should get him there.

If you could pick three of the following 2017 draft hitters  (Brent Rooker, Tristen Lutz, Kevin Merrell, Greg Deichmann, Ryan Vilade, and Daulton Varsho) who would you pick?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:09
Vilade, Lutz and then your choice of Rooker or Merrell depending on the type of player you like.

Dustin Fowler status and future? How're the legs?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:10
Can't really say until we see him, but thought he was a top 100 guy before the injury
Brett
1:10
Sauer or Schmidt? And why? Thanks
Eric A Longenhagen
1:10
Sauer, stuff is better has had a surgery.

I'm curious about Yohander Mendez - close to majors, but does he ever make much of an impact?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:12
His stuff wasn't as good when I saw him in 2017 as it was in 2016. Still like him, but as a more of a #4/5 than a #3/4
Jeremy

I feel like the hype on Yohander Mendez has completely died and he's no longer a T100 prospect. Do you agree?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:12
Those two Q's were back to back in the queue, you are a hive mind.

The goal is to win world series
Eric A Longenhagen
1:13
I don't know the context for this, but yes
John Stamos

How valuable is analysis such as Carson's Fringe Five? Is it interesting, useful, or both? Does his recognition influence your internal 'profile' of a player?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:15
Both. It's Carson's version of my constant backfield trips. He's turning over rocks too, they're just statistical rocks.

How bullish/bearish are you on Brinson, Calhoun and McMahon for 2018? Anything we should expect from them?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:16
Calhoun most of all. Plus hit, plus power, think the bat is ready. Brinson will probably take some time to adjust if he's given the opportunity and, if MIL is competitive, they might not give him that chance. McMahon I'm still skeptical of.
Cole
1:17
What's the deal with Aristides Aquino? Was something off this year, or were analysts wrong about his (near) top 100 prospect status?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:18
I get why you might still hold out hope for him because there is still big power there and he actually has some bat control, but he's a big stiff guy with a bad approach and other than Adam Duvall and maybe Scott Schebler (ironically both Reds) corner guys who whiff a lot and don't walk are pretty rare. I'm finishing the Reds list today and would just say I was wrong last year.
Eric
1:19
Do you think Ben Heller could be an okay back of the rotation starter at this point?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:19
Nah sorry, relief-only for me.
Keith

Top two HS arms for draft this year? Your current opinion.
Eric A Longenhagen
1:20
Liberatore and Rocker
CW

The Dodger's Drew Jackson seemed like a somewhat exciting prospect a couple years ago, where do you currently stand on him?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:21
Has some exciting tools. plus-plus arm, runs well. Just not sure how much bat is there. Think he's more of a utility guy than an everyday player.
Michael
1:22
How do you feel about Yadier Alvarez? Seems like he has lost a lot of hype over the past year
Eric A Longenhagen
1:22
I'm still a fan, but agree his season was frustrating. Everything that made him #1 on my Dodgers list last year is still there, he just hasn't gotten any better
Eric
1:22
Do you see Freicer Perez being a starter long term?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:22
I do.
Keith
1:24
Brandon Marsh - reasonable to consider him top 100 overall right now, even if not on your list?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:24
Yes
Coop
1:24
Sisco or Wynns to be the O's catcher along with Joseph?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:24
Sisco
Keith
1:24
What is a reasonably good outcome (better than 50/50 but not absolute best case imaginable) for Chance Adams in first few years in MLB?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:24
League-average starter or slightly above
JP
1:24
Does Ruiz have the better upside than Mejia?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:25
Keibert and Francisco? No
Alec Asher Wojciechowski
1:25
Freudis Nova was good not great in his debut, any concerns going foward?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:25
Some, yeah. Especially because there was a PED issue before he signed
