Both have incredible before-their-time visuals of things we'd still consider advanced today
David Morgan
12:33
How good of an outcome is this for a NDFA?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:33
Is it the best of the post covid era draft system?
Urza
12:33
How much of Genao's lack of power this year so far can be attributed to his injury earlier in the year?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:34
Some of it is swing plane stuff too
John Pacella
12:34
If Edwin Diaz leaves the Mets for free agency after the season, is there someone in their system you could see becoming their next closer in the near term?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:35
Nah
Nick

It looks like Justin Crawford lowered his hands some time in early-August. He now has 4 homers this month (which is over half his season total). Could there be something meaningful happening?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:35
Lets' take a quick look, shall we?
12:37
my Synergy is acting up, I'm gonna backburner this for now and return to it
AZ Dreaming
12:37
Has Ryan Waldschmidt's recent tear at AA giving you reason to think about upgrading his 45 FV?  Has his swing improved?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:38
I'm still concerned about its sustainability and am inclined to leave him there (still a good grade)

The A’s have done a poor job maintaining their prospect class strength whenever they’re competitive. Since this ‘26 Draft pick in their hopes is their last chance at an elite prospect, do you think they’ll do a better job now at churning T100 guys?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:38
I think there's far too much gaf across the internet about the top 100 line, like if a guy isn't on there we're saying he's bad
Michael
12:39
What do you see Hunter Barco becoming?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:39
Somewhere in that good no 4/5 area
Nils
12:39
I know we often will see SS prospects move to 2B either due to defensive limitations or being blocked by someone, but why dont teams move players to 2B earlier on?  This year, we have 14 SSs in the majors with 3+ fWAR but only 4 2B.  Why is 2B such an afterthought?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:39
I think it's a particularly weak group *at the moment*
Drew
12:40
Is Matt Walner a good comp for Spencer Jones?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:40
You're in the ballpark, yeah. Better athlete and defender is Jones
Aeroguy32
12:40
Thoughts on Ethan Dorchies, seems like a steal in the 10th round.
Eric A Longenhagen
12:42
Yeah, they do a great job don't they? Fastball slider guy sitting 92, slider is average right now chance to be above. Non-zero chance to start, nice prospect for what he cost where they go him
Kate
12:42
What's your level of concern with Morlando at this point?  How much of it is injury vs. performance?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:45
A source mentioned him as a possible Fall Leaguer, which I think would be a good place to sit and actually evaluate him for a prolonged period. The vibe in Jupiter was pretty sour when I was in there, the team knows its talented but was really struggling
Kate
12:45
How much of Caden Dana's issues can be chalked up to PCL?  Is he still a 50 for you?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:45
The walks bother me
Kate
12:46
Has your outlook on Aron Estrada changed at all since you had him as an honorable mention on the O's list?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:46
Yeah, he should probably be a main list guy
well rounded hitter, seems like he'll have some fringe 40 utility at least
Kate
12:46
Does David Davalillo have a chance to sneak onto the Top 100?  Or is the fastball too meh?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:46
Has a shot but you've identified the key variable
Dave
12:46
Bryce Teosodio seemed to come out of nowhere and appears to be an excellent defender. Does he hit enough to be considered the Angels CF for next year?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:47
Yeah super fast guy, has more of an extra OF fit to me, late game defensive replacement and runner
Jobert
12:47
Chances Jarlin Susana can win a spot in the 2026 Nats opening day rotation?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:48
it's plausible but I'd guess he's a mid-season debut
Pirates Hurdles
12:48
Im curious about Wilbur Dotel, is there a SP path there or more MIRP?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:48
RP for me, good one, though. They should let him start for as long as possible, though
I'd imagine he debuts as a starter and shifts to the bullpen in year two or three on the 40-man
Keith
12:48
Was Jasson Dominguez a bad fielder in the minors?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:48
Yeah
