Are there still teams drafting players based on how hot their girlfriends are?
Kevin Goldstein
8:49
They never did. Movies are fiction.
Eric A Longenhagen
8:49
both 1-1
Adley killed BP today, he's a freak
jazzpaw
8:50
How far might Madden fall?
Kevin Goldstein
8:50
I'm the biggest Madden-stan there is, so he's already a steal.
8:51
We are hearing Sal Frelick to MIL at 15
Guest
8:51
Heard anything on Frelick's asking price? Seemed like he was possible for Baltimore, or even Pittsburgh at one point.
Kevin Goldstein
8:51
Those would have been underslot deals -- this will be around slot.
Josh
8:51
Gunnar going to be there for the Cubs?
Kevin Goldstein
8:51
I still think Yankees are the floor, but it's been a weird one.
Re: Nats
8:55
House is great... but doesn't it feel like Rizzo must have punched a wall after Rocker went to NYM?
Kevin Goldstein
8:55
I'm sure he was hoping for it, but I'm sure he was calm and cool about it.
Drew
8:55
what's the difference between Frelick and Benetendi as draft prospects? Feels like Frelick is better since he can play CF
Kevin Goldstein
8:55
Andrew showed more power.
Johndarc
8:56
Do teams usually pick the best player available and figure it out later, or specific players at positions of need?
Kevin Goldstein
8:56
Day one and two: Best player.
Ross
8:56
Any feeling on a direction for the Cubs?  Prep bat?  College arm?
Kevin Goldstein
8:56
They've been attached to every type of player.
Pat
8:59
Solometo to the Cubs? Maybe?
Kevin Goldstein
8:59
Certainly possible. We know he had a great workout for them.
Tim
9:01
Eric, how was Baty’s BP today?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:01
freaking great
may be 7 raw now
Guest
9:01
Watson will certainly be over slot, right?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:01
his infield was great too
Kevin Goldstein
9:01
absolutely
Eric A Longenhagen
9:01
no doubt 3B, he's a top 60 guy
Jobe Search
9:01
Any over slot names the Tigers may use some savings on with their picks in the 30s? ...Will there be any savings with Jobe?
Kevin Goldstein
9:01
I think there's a minor savings here.
Brett
9:02
Could the reds go madden?
Kevin Goldstein
9:02
Basically every team at this point should take him, but again, I love the dude.
Pat
9:04
If the Cubs had the option do you think they'd prefer to go with a college pitcher or HS pitcher?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:04
hearing college arm now
maybe Wicks
Gourd Sword
9:05
Crazy thought - but would Cherington get a strongly-worded email from ownership or an empty box placed on his desk if he picked Watson in round 2 and blew like 80% of their pool trying to sign those 2?
Kevin Goldstein
9:05
No worries.
Pinstripe Perry
9:05
Would Mikulski at 31 be enough of a haircut for Miami to get Watson done or do they need more?
Jack
9:06
How was Pedro Leon’s bp
Kevin Goldstein
9:06
It would be a good start.
