solid, close to average raw. I got very emotional when he and Jose barrero saw eachother for prbably the first time in years and hugged for like 30 seconds

Too aggressive for AZ to send Lawlar out to Visalia for the rest of the MiLB season or likely just going to instructs?

So when Watson was running back into camera on the broadcast after getting picked, do you think that was him confirming he would sign with Miami seconds before getting picked?
Kevin Goldstein
9:09
ABSOLUTELY.
Eric

Are the White Sox still locked on prep infielders?
Eric A Longenhagen

Kevin Goldstein
9:10
We're working on it.
9:13
First round? All of the above. From Day two on, scouting director.

Hoglund going to TOR
Jeb
9:14
Is will taylor getting drafted?
Kevin Goldstein
9:14
It's looking like maybe as a backup pick.
Joe
9:15
Any interest in talking Orioles fans off the ledge?
Kevin Goldstein
9:15
Sure. Cowser is really good and they'll be able to spend some more money later on. Be fine.
Re: Nats
9:16
Will Taylor as a "backup pick." What does that mean? in the teen rounds in case a first rounder says no?
Kevin Goldstein
9:16
Exactly. In case something weird happens with a high pick....
Vern
9:17
If teams had 4 minutes 30 seconds to make their selections, we'd be through #30 by now (9:15 EST), but we're only at #18. What am I missing?
Kevin Goldstein
9:17
Ads. Announced picks, special presentations, interviews. does this actually bug you?
Max
9:21
how early could kevin kopps go? could he help save some money on overslot 2nd/3rd rounders?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:22
that's interesting, probably 4-5 for me, maybe he is a cut for MIA now with Watson on board
Robbie
9:22
Where is Lonnie White slotting right now. What are the chances he goes to PSU instead?
Kevin Goldstein
9:22
Word is he wants first-round money, and that might be too high for most teams.
Bird Dog
9:23
Have you ever crossed a prospect off your board after speaking with a coach that had really negative things to say about a player's work ethic, makeup?
Kevin Goldstein
9:23
Yes.

There's a typo on the BOARD for Michael McGreevy...unless he is really 6'4 100 lbs. In which case, damn.
Kevin Goldstein
