He's 1B-only for me and needs to become more patient for me to feel good about him clearing that offensive bar. Can he really hold a .350+ BABIP forever?

Any word on what happened to Hankins?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:35
Someone from BA (I think it was Carlos) reported it's his shoulder....

Would you have drafted Hagen Danner as a pitcher or a catcher?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:35
I had him in as a C but I was in the minority

What happened to Trevor Clifton?  He started off 2017 like 2016 but then imploded.

Velo and command were both bad when I saw him last spring but I don't know how or why it happened.

What kind of OPS does Guillorme need to be regular ML. Is his D that good?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:38
It is very good. He could be a 45 like Jose Iglesias is: put the ball in play a ton, play great defense
Dominik

Can hoskins play the of? Statcast speed had him like second slowest of all guys playing of last year.

He's 1b-only for me.

When was the last position-player heavy class?  Feel like every year we say “oh look, deep in pitching once again...”
Eric A Longenhagen

2015 maybe? All those SS, Tucker, Benintendi, Kingery, Newman, Hayes, Grisham...
Mountcastle has been okay...I'm probably missing some

Has the "launch angle revolution" begun to affect HS and collage approaches? Are there any major programs that have begun to teach kids the uppercut?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:41
Yup. There are Driveline kids all over JUCO ball and some D1 programs, like Oregon St and Vandy, are into that stuff.

Is it just me, or does the Dodger starting pitching look a bit depleted? Kershaw-Hill-Wood-Maeda-Ryu? The no.2 spot looks weaker than other contenders no?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:42
Yeah, but they fought through that stuff last year, too.

Okay, that'll do it for me today. Thanks for stopping in. Kiley may not be chatting tomorrow because he's in Santo Domingo for the MLB IFA showcase so if you show up tomorrow and he's not here, that's why. Have a great week, see you next Tuesday.
