Jeff writes from a fantasy perspective, I haven't played fantasy baseball in more than 10 years. Huge communication gap there.

Any advice for aspiring prospect hounds besides move to AZ?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:12
Write more. Going to games is necessary, but it isn't really work, is it? The travel is work, but the games aren't. It's the fun part you pretend is work to make yourself believe you're working super hard.

Could ARI get a Machado deal done without Duplantier? Robinson, Widener, Jazz, Tabor, Maciel, Varsho, others... seems like there could be enough there to get a quantity>quality package done
Eric A Longenhagen
3:14
They could do it without Dup, yes. BAL had a scout at the last ARI AZL game I was at (actually might have been two guys) but it might just be part of their usual coverage, not a trade target. Not really a way of knowing that unless you're intimately familiar with an individual scout's coverage.

Do you have any draft coverage of next years class upcoming?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:14
Yep, Kiley is seeing Team USA as we speak. I've got Chicago duty later this month, Area Codes and PG AA in San Diego in AUgust.

Cristian Pache (Florida) and Jean Carlos Encarnacion (Rome) got pulled from their games last night due to "injury" but it happened at the exact same time.  Am I crazy in assuming there's a trade being discussed?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:16
It's not 'Alex Jones conspiracy' crazy, but surely you realize it wouldn't be a huge coincidence for two guys to get dinged simultaneously.

Should Everson Periera and Ezequial Duran be moved down to the GCL?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:18
These are two of the NYY guys from their 2017 July 2 class. Most advanced J2 guys are in the GCL or AZL, only a few get sent away from the complex right away (Wander Franco and Eric Pardinho are doing well with aggressive assignments)
No, I don't think you demote them already. We really like Duran but that felt overzealous.

How do you like Seth Elledge?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:19
Mariners 4th rounder last year. Quick-moving reliever, which they seem to find one of every year.
TJ
3:20
Ryder Green is my new favorite Yankee prospect based solely on extremely SSS - can you say something nice about him?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:21
NYY 3rd rounder, got over slot. His tools are crazy, plus power and run right now. He's raw from a baseball standpoint.
Drew
3:22
Higher upside for the Astros...Seth Beer or Yordan Alvarez?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:22
Alvarez

3:23
Any word on whether Cal Raleigh is going back to school?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:24
Mariners 3rd rd pick from Florida ST. Haven't heard. Would doubt it. We think he had a deal waiting for him behind SEA for more money, which may be the hold up as that's reconciled.
Ferts
3:24
Any word on where Victor Victor ends up?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:24
We have no idea beyond speculation at this point

Tyler Wade - please advise.

Was Trout 80 FV before he debuted?  Harper?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:26
Yes to both, those guys were locks to be gods.
Ferts
3:27
Do you think a) Jerry Dipoto doesn’t value the prospects he trades appropriately, or B) he is appropriately concerned with bolstering his MLB team
Eric A Longenhagen
3:28
I think it's A but given how many of the fringe roster guys he has acquired have actually played this year due to injuries, either Dipoto or anyone who disagrees with me should feel free to nana nana boo bo me
Eric

STEAMER projections have Garrett Cooper at 91 wRC+ which is terrible for a 27 year old 1B. He will be playing in the independent leagues by the time he's 29.
Eric A Longenhagen
3:28
What if I told you his Trackman readout is nuts and that the MIA player dev staff is being guided by former NYY dev guys? Does that change how you think about him?
Spencer
3:29
Y'all seem to be the low guys on Leody Taveras, what do you think the difference is between your evaluation and others in the industry? Not as much belief in the power projection?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:29
Correct
Finnegan

Do you have any articles or resources talking about the ways teams typically cover other teams farm systems?
Eric A Longenhagen

I wrote about how I'd structure a pro department in this year's harball times annual

Does Trent Deveaux's swing change concern you in the long run?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:30
No

has antonio cabello jumped some of his J2 class mates at this point?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:31
NYY OF. Nope, physically mature kid with no projection.

Would Philly part with Sixto Sanchez in a deal for Machado?
