Will Thayron Liranzo stat at catcher?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:40
I believe so, he's enormous and has a hose
the rest I think will be fine with time

You know Lynch was special because he had a beautiful head of hair pushing 80
Eric A Longenhagen
12:41
Truth, and kept it all even though he was a human chimney
Finnegan’s SSW
12:41
Yankees and Dodgers (and Jays) haven’t announced any international signings yet, correct?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:41
As of my last check, correct.

Your writeup of Emil Morales last year was glowing; anything from his performance in the Dominican Summer League that raises long-term concerns?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:42
sub-70% contact in the DSL is a yellow flag
ALF

How good/bad would a player have to be in a small sample size like the AFL/LIDOM for it to affect your opinion on him? I guess things like velocity or swing decisions matter more than the actual results at that point?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:42
Correct, there are data points you care about in a sample that small but they're all talent related more than performance related.
Dan
12:43
Am I misremembering or was Anthony Volpe a bat first fringe defender as a prospect?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:43
In HS I had glove-first, contact-oriented low-end regular eval
Thomas
12:43
Do you have a good memory for names in general, or is it just your constant baseball work and exposure that gives you the encyclopaedic knowledge?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:44
I'm pretty terrible with them, honestly. Something about sports makes that stuff easier to stick for me. I'll need to remind myself of someone's birthday but I know every relevant Purdue pass rusher since I was born.
Blahblahblah
12:44
Could you guess the top 2 SPs in the minors in SwStr% last year (min 70 IP)?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:46
Ooooh, uh, i'll say Jedixson Paez and Jaden Hamm?
AL Central Casting
12:46
Top Three David Lynch movies?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:47
Mulholland Drive
Blue Velvet
Eraserhead
Blahblahblah
12:47
I also noticed today that IFFB% in the minors is way inflated compared to the majors. Why would that be? Classification issue?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:48
Potentially, it's a good catch, might be dependent on the catching player's position rather than the hit location/
Frank Booth

What does Caden Dana have to do to raise his game to the next level? And what chances does he have at doing so?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:48
I think he's already really good, just keep that changeup coming.
Wade Miley
12:48
Hi Eric--Off the back of your head, any noticeable risers or fallers from 50 FV grade or better from the 2024 draft class? Looks like Nick Kurtz rose and Charlie Condon fell, but any brewing thoughts outside of those two?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:49
Cags' AFL look scared me
Feeling okay about the rest as I glace at it
Mr Burrito

First, always look forward to your  work. The prospect lists are amazing. Second, regardless of Sasaki’s landing place, are the Dodgers the best at pitching development? I would've said so prior to last year but eleventy TJ surgeries give me pause. Thoughts?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:50
LA is up there, CLE, NYY, TB... you can probably guess the ones who are good. Boston...
Bencle Mens
12:50
Are you gonna get on Blue Sky, or are you out on social media?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:53
If I'm at a restaurant and I know the stuff it's serving is bad for me, and into the restaurant come so many douchebags such that i want to leave, should I go to the restaurant next door serving the same stuff?
I'm out.
12:54
It creates perverse incentives for media, and I can't take the chaotic nature of the scroll. One thing is about mass death, the next is Livvy Dunne's abs, the nest is a puppy that needs a home, the next is a funny thing Bill Burr said... I can't.
12:55
Okay, I've gotta split. Meg and I will update the prospect lists that havealready run to include the new Int'l guys over the weekend, so look for that...
I'm working on Yankees and Phils prospect lists, those should drop next week.
Watch a David Lynch thing this weekend, even if it's just him cooking quinoa on youtube.
