Some combination of scouting and analytics. But yeah, both Clark and Lee are fringe guys for me.
ChiSox
1:08
Do you have renewed faith in Micker Adolfo? Dude is hitting bombs this year.
Eric A Longenhagen
1:08
There are some statistical red flags, I'm still a bit apprehensive.
Swingin' Friar

After a rough start Reggie Lawson's stat line looks better the last 3 games 24/3 K/BB ratio. Heard anything about how his stuff looks?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:09
The same. Low-90s, might creep up to 94, 95, curveball feel is good.
Chet

Is Adonis Medina one of the Phillies arms likely in your current Top 100?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:09
I think he deserves consideration.
Danny
1:10
What do you think of Matt Sauer's chances of staying a starter?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:10
40%
Nils
1:11
Since Miguel Almonte came off the DL, he's had 2 RP appearances.  Is this a matter of building back his arm strength or is this the beginning of his move to the pen?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:11
He's probably a RP at this point.
Ricky
1:13
Are body type and body projection different for domestic players vs international players. Could diet and culture affect their physical growth?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:15
Good question. Physical projection plays a unique role in projecting the J2 kids. Some of them are very physically immature and others have lots of present strength, the gap can be quite vast. Giving a 16 year old $1mil and turning him loose in America can absolutely backfire when the kids discover fast food.

Isaac Paredes is 18 this whole season in A-ball and seems to be hitting well-enough for a shortstop.  Does he have projection left and will he have to move to 3rd?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:17
I've heard he's improved his conditioning but still projects to 3B for me.
Some want to see him catch.

Higher ceiling:  Isan Diaz, Delvin Perez?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:17
Delvin
Joe Douglas
1:18
You mentioned on the Pod that Will Craig is having a horrible season. Does that entirely hinge on the move to 1B? 140 wRC+ is not horrible at 3B, bar is just high at 1B.
Eric A Longenhagen
1:19
He's a 1B-only college hitter struggling to hit for power in A-ball.]
Andy
1:20
What did you see from Austin Beck last night?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:21
A talented kid who needs time to adjust to pro pitching. He's clearly never seen anything like what he saw last night, which was, in order, a low-slot righty with a funky breaking ball, 95-99 from Stetson Allie, 94-96 from Yeison Cespedes.
baby bull
1:23
have you seen Kyle Lewis yet in 2017? any update on him?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:24
Not yet. He's down here rehabbing (again). Think I'm heading to Peoria on Wednesday so if he's still here and playing, that's when I'll catch him.
Hank
1:25
I've noticed Lucas Herbert has began to finally hit, could he end up a MLB backup?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:25
That's probably his ceiling.
Ducklin
1:26
How does faedo rank alongside other Det sp prospects such as manning, burrows, funkhouser?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:26
Behind them, but those guys have all been great so that's not a knock on Faedo.
Bear Hands
1:26
Did you watch Luis Castillo's major league outing? Do you think he can stick in the rotation now and what's his ceiling?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:26
I did not, I'm working on July 2 stuff.
Anthony
1:26
Are you still bullish on Yadi Alvarez? His most recent coverage has seemed overwhelmingly negative. Him or Buehler ATP?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:27
Still bullish, albeit a bit dismayed. Buehler at this point.
SK
1:27
What are your thoughts on Ryan McMahon - doesn't seem to get enough hype. How do you project he'll perform in the bigs?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:27
Can't find anyone who has seen him over the years that can pinpoint a reason for the improvement.
Nate
1:28
Which side of the plate will Francisco Mejia be a better hitter on in the Majors?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:28
RH
SK
1:29
Jae-Gyun Hwang 's release date is coming up soon - he's not exactly a 'prospect' but how do you think his skills will translate in the bigs?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:29
Haven't seen him, scouts I've talked to who have think he's a bench guy.
Kosch
1:29
Could Derek Fisher be a 2 WAR player in the majors right now?  He's gotta be better than Aoki at this point right?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:29
2 WAR right now? Pretty agressive.
