Hey, everyone. Finishing up a podcast. Will be here shortly
2:28
Okay chat, I am here
Sorry. Pod went long, because they're fun to do with Carson and Kiley.
Ok

Anything you'd change in the top 10 of the mock based on new info?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:29
Swaggerty to 9, McClanahan out of the top 10, Grayson Rodriguez anywhere from 10-TEX
Tommy N.
2:29
Chris Paddack has looked amazing to start the year how high is he rising on your top 100?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:29
In the 50 FV tier, probably in the 60-80 range
Greg
2:29
Can you expand on the Gorman to Atlanta connection? The mock didn't really talk about it. How strong is the connection between the two sides?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:30
Have had national guys there multiple times the last few weeks, including Bridges.
Dan
2:30
Do you see a change in Dylan Cozens this season? His overall line is looking more like the '16 version than the '17 version, although the strikeouts are still there in bunches.  Is this just a hot start, or is he progressing meaningfully?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:31
No movement as far as I've heard

How confident are you in Urias's ability to eventually hit for power? Obv major league ball will help
Eric A Longenhagen
2:31
Quite. If you square up the big league ball right now it's gonna go.

Do padres prospects Franmil Reyes and Jeisson Rosario have chances to be full-time starters for the padres within the next 2-3 years, and if so, what is their upside?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:33
Might be aggressive with Rosario's timeline but otherwise, sure. Franmil maybe a 2 WAR guy. Rosario maybe a little better than than if the plate discipline is elite as it appears to be so far.

Yesterday Kiley said the top 3 picks in the draft might get blown up. Can you provide any more details?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:35
Meh. We just think the pack up top is close enough that you can talk yourself out of Mize between his injury history, atypical pitch usage, etc. We've been operating under the assumption that he'd go 1 for a while now but all that stuff I just mentioned plus what we know about where Detroit decision makers have been lately indicate that other scenarios are more possible than we've discussed up to this point.

Can Bellinger really play center field like some say? I thought his reads looked poor last night, but obviously hasn't played out there much.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:35
Yeah, he'd be a 45 or 50 there, not Andruw Jones or anything. He's so good at 1B that I wouldn't move him.
A big dumb idiot
2:35
What are your thoughts on Lansing shortstop Kevin Smith aside from those that are aroused due to his name being shared with Silent Bob
Eric A Longenhagen
2:35
College hitter succeeding at Low-A doesn't do it for me
Justin R
2:36
Thoughts on Jose Soriano and Trent Deveaux in the Angels system?

Do you have any intel on Luigi Rodriguez? 25 year old, signed with the Giants as a minor league FA in the offseason, has a 1.107 OPS, career low K%, near career high BB%. Probably a flash in the pan, or is there something there he changed?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:37
.523 BABIP

Brett Cumberland stays at C long term?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:37
No but Kiley saw him this week and thought he looked better
BoJackDonkeyMan
2:38
Pache is the next Acuna!  Fight me?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:38
I bet a website would hire you to write their headlines right now.
Victor
2:38
What mid-first round prospect do you see becoming a steal in the draft. Who could be the faster riser to the MLB?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:39
I love Anthony Seigler. Fastest riser? Probably one of the college arms, like Kowar.

I dont remember who said it in one of these chats, but "Peter Alonso could be the Rhys Hoskins of this year" was uttered. Is that a reach?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:40
Depends what you mean by that. Do you mean 'R/R college 1B who bucks trends and makes it as an everyday player.' then sure. If you mean he's Hoskins' statistical clone, that's rich for me.
James
2:41
Does Dennis Santana debut for the Dodgers this season?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:41
Yes

What do you make of Michael Chavis after the PED suspension?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:41
He'll be bounced from the 100 on the update
Mark
2:41
Should Sixto be striking out more batters?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:41
Nah, he's fine
