Gage Wood pitches in our MLB PEN by Mid August True or False

I think you even nailed the approximate date

Thoughts on Forret/Dinges for Bello in a 20 team dynasty?
Eric A Longenhagen

Bryan Bello? Take the big leaguer, homie.

Following prospects is about hope, so reading your work makes me feel good. Thanks. …Do orgs have different success rates after players reach, say, AA? In other words,  if four 50 FV players were in the Angels system and four were in the Dodgers system, which team would wind up with more MLB starters?
Eric A Longenhagen

That's an interesting question. I imagine the answer is yes for the same general reasons that apply to all prospects, but the notion that a team might be better or worse at actualizing more mature athletes isn't one I've asked myself.

Eric, at last year's review you gave Dylan Beavers a 30/50 hit tool rank.  Now a year later, where would you say he's gotten to on that scale?

50/50

Is Brayden Taylor just roster filler now or is there any hope for him?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:56
He can really play defense and he's gonna get to some power. I've had a 45 grade on him the whole time, I'm staying there.

i think Christian Moore is slated to have a breakout season with the angels... am i being overly naive like i am every february?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:56
I don't think so.

Could Jhonny Level ascend to Top 100 this season ?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:57
We like him enough to do it now. And Yolfran (surprise!)

Thoughts on Florentino of Pirates. Chances he can be top 10 prospect by end of year?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:57
That's a little rich for me. Good hitter, though.

Is the top 100 set? Or are y’all still making tweaks?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:58
We have like 70 blurbs written and probably another 70 or so in the mix to either make the list or not.

Any dope from the MLK weekend events?

Kids taking BP in January is not always the best look. Lotta bigger, more physical kids threw pretty good bullpens. Dexter McLeon Jr. stands way, way out.
Kuya Al
12:59
When it comes to Alfredo Duno's defensive play, do you see him growing enough to be a full-time big league catcher, or is he an Augustin Ramirez type?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:59
I think he's a future plus defender. Freak athlete for his size, wish his throwing were more consistent.

Eric, is there a particular part of your daily scouting life that you enjoy more than the parts; ie: watching pitching performances, seeing hitters mash (or technical hitters use the entire field), athletic fielders making unbelievable plays - or simply discovering a new, lesser known name in the industry and getting to be one of the first on him?

Laughing about whatever crazy thing happens at the field that day with the scouts or other writers. From bee swarms to weirdly aggressive umpires.
1:01
(And then discovering new faces)

Ok folks, keeping it tight to an hour this week because I have lots of stuff to do. My next chat will be the day the Top 100 comes out, Monday the 16th.
