Do the Padres take Madden?
Kevin Goldstein
10:01
Highly doubtful.

10:01
Been a while since we got the drop in front of Twitter. And the Padres select…
Kevin Goldstein
10:01
Let's do it now. Jackson Merrill.

$4M asking price for someone like chandler… would it be insane for one of the top couple under slot teams to exhaust 75% of their bonus $ on their top two picks if someone like chandler or madden are still on the board tomorrow?
Kevin Goldstein
10:04
Not insane, but a bit crazy....

If the Padres take Will Taylor all hell is gonna break loose
Kevin Goldstein
10:04
They're not.
Bunk
10:04
Padres taking Billy Taylor?
Kevin Goldstein
10:05
Nope.

Are you all doing a chat tomorrow too?
Kevin Goldstein
10:05
Twitch baby! Details soon.

Max Muncy is sounding like Logan Davidson…fair comp?
Kevin Goldstein
10:06
Feels forced.
Padrefan
10:06
Why not will Taylor?
Kevin Goldstein
10:06
Because they're taking Jackson Merrill
Drew
10:07
Maybe a dumb question but what is the opposite of "repeating their delivery"? Obviously it means their variations when throwing but what varies?
Kevin Goldstein
10:07
Release point, timing (position of arm at foot strike), etc.
Jim
10:09
Have you heard James Wood connected to the Reds?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:09
yes
Mike
10:09
Who’s the next college hitter off the board?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:09
black ill guess
sadtrombone
10:10
Kath, Cooper Kinney both make sense for the Rays. I haven't heard anyone talk about it but Gage Jump absolutely fits them too.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:10
he might want more $ than slot here, which TB could do. def they care about his fastball type
clark
10:10
how can teams be mixed on Madden's data? Isn't data objective?
Kevin Goldstein
10:10
Sure, but analysis of it is not.
YardGoat
10:11
Kiley should try to get a Rollie Fingers thing going with the mustache. Think he could pull it off
Eric A Longenhagen
10:11
ill alert his wife
Gavin Williams
10:11
How do you like me on the Indians?
Padrefan
10:11
Isn’t Jackson Merrill here a reach?
Kevin Goldstein
10:11
Feels about right where he should go....
Eric A Longenhagen
10:12
might be for a deal, sdp is very creative
J.C.
10:12
So Merrill? Tell me about him please.
Kevin Goldstein
10:12
LHH hitter with power potential, some chance to stay at SS.
Bubba
10:14
At this point nearly a lock that Chandler isn't taken?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:14
No, Reds still have so much $ and Painter went.
Jackson
10:14
How likely does McLain stay at short?
Kevin Goldstein
10:14
VERY mixed opinions on this. I think he can stay there at a 45 clip.
Tigers Fan
10:15
Thanks for doing this Eric and Kevin. For Tigers fans who wanted Mayer, are there any players who may be available at 32 or 39 who could be more signable with the presumed savings?
