He was discussed and is worth following. Was 87-90 with projectable frame when I first wrote him up in '17, velo didn't really come last year so maybe it's arriving.

How large is the gap between Trevor Larnach and guys like Jenista, Pompey and Steele Walker? Which OF bat excites you the most?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:22
Larnach has huge, effortless power. I'm off Pompey. Jenista is more tooled-up than Walker but I feel better about Walker getting to his power. I'd go 45 FV on Larnach (gap) Jenista and Walker (gap) Pompey

Is Ronaldo Hernandez of the Rays in the midst of a breakout season?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:22
I kinda thought that's what last year was, but yeah he's good.

Is player development the area where teams can still separate themselves from the rest and gain a leg up on the competition?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:24
Yes
Sonny

Is Jalen Beeks due for a reevaluation with the new cutter? Possibly more than a 6th SP/Depth piece?
Waka
3:26
The Indians would be better off with Shane Bieber as their 5th starter over Josh Tomlin. Prove me wrong.
Eric A Longenhagen
3:27
Bigfoot exists. Prove me wrong.
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but come up with a better way of asking questions so that they're, ya know, answerable.

The start for Josh James has been pretty crazy. With the increased velocity, where is he now in terms of FV?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:28
Yeah velo has been up each of last three years. COuld slap a 40 on him right now

Ozzie Albies is the NL MVP thus far.  Convince me I'm wrong.
Eric A Longenhagen
3:29
It's May 3 and thinking about it at this point is dumb.
Just enjoy Albies, dude.

75

Billy Owens of the A's recently said he would like to see Jorge Mateo and Kevin Merrell compete against one another in the 100 meter dash. Who would you take in this footrace?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:29
Mateo, but Merrell can fly.

Justus Sheffield to AAA. Do we see him this summer?
Eric A Longenhagen

Yes

Is Bill James starting to go crazy?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:31
I think we all slowly start to go crazy. Ask Morrissey.
Ameer

How legit is Danny Jansen? Ever since he got glasses he hasn't stopped hitting. Can he be Russ Martins replacement?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:32
Was on our 100
Larry

Is Brady Singer trending back up?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:32
His start against Mize was great and he's the name we keep hearing that teams in the top 10 would run to for safety if their board blows up.

Who's the best college bat that slips to the back of the first round?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:34
Hmmmm, college bats don't often slip unless they have contact issues. I guess Swaggerty could slip but not that far. Maybe Eierman
David

P Shaun Anderson at AA Richmond...building more prospect status? I’ve heard encouraging things. Seems like a good return for Nunez.
Eric A Longenhagen
3:35
Yep, chance to pitch toward the back of a rotation. Gregory Santos is good, too. They did pretty well in that deal.
A Dead Avenger

Eric, have you heard great reports on Eury Ramos? AZPhil mentioned he's throwing 95-97, with a plus CB, and a swing and miss change. Says he's filled out now. Any words you've heard from the back fields?
