I'm gonna try to machine gun thru a handful before I split...
Great questions this week, btw
1:02
lots of good ones I won't be able to get to, questions about KBO players and Aiva Arquette and everything.
Mike Trout
1:02
Any new thoughts on Vientos? Either at 3B or offensively?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:03
Guys like him tend to be volatile year to year. I'm happy he's doing well but if you told me he was going to have a rough '25 I'd believe you.

Do all teams still use the FV scale?  Or have some moved on to different evaluation methods?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:04
Some teams use 20-80 scale but not quite in the same way as I use FV, often putting a more ceiling-based grade on a guy. Some teams use a scale like this:
A1, A2
B1, B2
C1, C2
D1...you get the idea.
1:05
Where like a C1 is my 45, a B1 is my 55, feel me?

What do the A's do with their glut of mostly back of the rotation starters (Sears, Estes, Bido, Spence, Ginn, Harris, Muller, Basso, Hoglund)?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:05
I think you retain as many of them as possible and make spring '25 decisions based on maximizing retentions and option years.
1:06
Muller prob a 'pen guy, Harris on the bubble, I gotta check in on Hoglund. Rest of the guys are comfortably in my mix if I'm them.
Caleb Durbin
1:06
Will I be a legit mlb starter or bench piece at best?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:06
Can you play more than just 2B?
Payne
1:06
Thoughts on Braylon Payne's debut?

Bueno
USS Bridge four
1:07
You mentioned zyhir hope earlier do you have any other thoughts on him cause he wasn't even in the others of note in your dodgers list? sorry if this comes across poorly never done this before
Eric A Longenhagen
1:08
No worries, I published the Dodgers list before they traded for him and then he was hurt when I saw the Rancho kids during the spring. He's just missing, that's a failure to update on my part.

Yet another big offseason for the Reds. How would you proceed given the potential logjam in the infield and the obvious need for a big bat in the OF? Would you be comfortable moving say Arroyo, Collier, and/or Stewart for the right bat?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:09
I'd be comfortable moving the two corner guys you mentioned more than Arroyo. Stewart especially I feel like will be overvalued by teams who heavily weigh his data (which is very good)..
Richard Garfield

What do we make of Ethan Salas' year? Ceiling has been reduced or is making a ton of mechanical adjustments, what say you?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:09
I'll end on this one...
1:10
.234/.322/.306
1:11
That is Aldey Rutchsman's freshman line at Oregon. He was 19. Salas, who is at High-A, turns 19 next June I think. I'm being patient.
1:12
