Eric A Longenhagen

Mornin'. Let's get right to it....
Dan

Assuming he comes over this winter, will Ohtani be the #1 prospect in baseball?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:01
Yup, I noted he'd be #1 on last year's 100. Did have some injury issues in the past year, though.
Tommy N.

What do you think of Cal Quantrill now after his first year? Seemed like his breaking pitch needs a lot of refinement
Eric A Longenhagen
11:01
Agreed, that's been the book on Quantrill for a while. Velo, command, changeup all in place. How much can the curveball progress?
Bobv

Anyone not protected from the Rule 5 draft that surprised you?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:02
O'Hearn, Tocci, Strahan

What does Jose Siri need to do this year to become a top 50 prospect?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:04
Next year? If he does what he did statistically again, maybe he's there. Top 50 guys are typically above average regulars, so go look at the OF WAR leaderboard and glance at anyone with about 2.5-3 WAR or more and that's what he's got to be.
Bobv

Whose someone you like more than your peers?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:05
I think you can look at rankings and know that yourself
Zonk
11:05
Is David Bote for real?  Did you see him in the AFL, and what did you see?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:06
Bat is real, but he has no defensive home.

White Sox did not protect Jake Peter and Jordan Guerrero from Rule 5. Do they get picked up?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:08
With pitchers it just takes confidence that they can pitch out of the bullpen right now to take them, so maybe Guerrero. Peters, I doubt. Most orgs have a guy like that in their system already.
Jordan
11:08
What do you think the chances are that a year from now, Akil Baddoo's name is creeping onto top 100's?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:08
I think they're pretty good and non-zero chance he's already there.
Jonathan
11:08
Could you see Luis Medina getting a 50 or strong 45 FV, or is that too rich considering how far away he is and how extreme the profile's risk is?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:08
That's the typical range for high-upside prospects who are far away. Think he's already there.

Either today or tomorrow is likely to be brutal for Braves' prospect followers.  Tell me something to ease the pain, please.
Eric A Longenhagen
11:09
Sorry, sounds like they're losing some dudes.
Bryan

How come the industry was so far off on Corey Ray in the 2016 draft? And where does the Brewers farm system rank at present? Thanks.
Eric A Longenhagen
11:09
I think the better question is 'Why do we jump off talented guys after one bad year when we've been burned by doing so before?'
Brewers system is top 5 or 6
Dan
11:10
Why has Austin Hays gotten so little love from prospect hawks despite putting up wRC+'s of 168, 167, and 161 in three minor league stops?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:10
Corner guy with over-aggressive approach I worry will get exposed in the big leagues
11:11
I had a 50 on him during the summer (which means you can make a strong argument he should slot toward the back of the arbitrary 100)
Salisbury Steak
11:11
What's Nicky Lopez's future in KC? Is he good enough for them to move Mondesi off short (there was some talk last year of trying him in center)?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:12
I'd give Mondesi a roll initially but I do think Lopez is an everyday big league shortstop
GregG

Is Jeisson Rosario a up and coming prospect that could blow up into the top 100 next year after a solid enough season in AZL?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:13
Had good numbers in AZL but didn't look great. Still think he has special hitting ability but his stock held this year, it didn't improve. He might be a top 100 guy down the road, but not now.

Is Jesus Sanchez’s upside more Eloy or more Robles?  He seems to have more patience and more of a plan at the plate than he did last year. Has he quieted some of the doubts from last year?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:13
Love Sanchez but doesn't have Eloy's power or Robles' everything else
BK
11:13
How does TJ Zeuch’s project as a major leaguer?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:13
#4 starter
Pache fanclub
11:13
Pache would be a bigger loss for the Braves than would Maitan, right?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:14
Nah. Really like Pache (he was prospect 101 on last winter's 100) but people jumping off the Maitan train are doing so prematurely. Prospect development isn't linear, there's still too much talent there to just abandon.
He's 17
Ian
11:14
Do you see Ruddy Giron becoming a regular major leaguer and if so at what position?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:15
More utility guy for me.
