Did you and Kiley do all of the AL West teams except the A's and then release the Atlanta Braves list first just to torment me? Because if you did... Well played.

Tomorrow or Thursday, Billy.

what's the deal with Ronny Mauricio? why so highly touted?
Eric A Longenhagen

has the actions for SS, some feel to hit, and you can really dream on the frame.

You and Kiley seem to be on the low side of Austin Riley's fielding ability, giving him a future grade of 45 and a "chance" of staying at third. Can you expound on how good you think that chance is?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:02
50%, I was impressed by how he looked in the Fall League compared to how he looked in the past, but among actual big league 3B he's not very good over there

Why is Josh Hader not in the top 100 prospects?  55FV and still rookie eligible, no?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:03
No longer eligible. 50 innings OR 45 non-September days on the roster. Same reason Frankie Montas isn't eligible anymore.

Skipping the A's list?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:04
Kiley's gonna skip around and do system's he's more comfortable with since he hasn't had to worry about every prospect on the planet for a couple of years.

Lourdes Gurriel and Lazaro Armenteros had a lot of hype when they came to America, but I haven't much about then since. Are they still considered elite prospects?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:05
Neither was ever considered 'elite' and hope it never came across as such while I've been at the helm of prospect stuff at the site.
1:06
Lourdes might be a utility guy. Lazarito looked good last summer, has power, can run, might be a good everyday player but there's a strong chance he moves to LF at some point

Eric A Longenhagen
1:07
hmmmm

When you and Kiley put the top 100 together, who was the player you disagreed on most and how was the argument settled?
Eric A Longenhagen
1:09
Willie Calhoun, perhaps? I think I just screamed until he was put near the top of the 50s

Okay, I must depart. Thanks for coming. My chat schedule might change for next week as I'll be seeing players in Southern California, so check ye old Twitter for updates.
