I don't think they saved a ton. Maybe a HS outfielder looking for a litttle more.

How likely does McLain stay at short? Have you SEEN who the Reds have rolled out there at short?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:16
i actually think he can be a 50 glove there

How well equipped are these players and their advisors to negotiate?  Feels like a huge disadvantage.
Kevin Goldstein
10:16
How? They know what they are doing.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:16
hearing Chase Burns to Dodgers...

Wonder if teams feel some regret seeing high upside guys go to “smart front offices” like Tampa Bay?
Kevin Goldstein
10:18
Honestly, teams really don't worry much at all about how other teams behave.

I'm sure you guys often times disagree on prospects. Can we see you argue/debate about them in some forum? would be fun
Kevin Goldstein
10:18
We do, and I'm sure you'll see some of those differences in tomorrow's Sunday recap.
BC Fan

is comp round tonight or tomorrow?
Kevin Goldstein
10:18
TONIGHT
BC Fan

Amazing. Let's see Morissette off the board!
Kevin Goldstein
10:19
I think we'll go to bed with him still available.
Pinstripe Perry
10:19
Twitch stream still in the plans for tomorrow? Will that start at 1 PM ET or before?
Kevin Goldstein
10:19
Just a touch before.

Comparing sonderstrom from last year and Harry Ford this year is it safe to say using the board sonderstrom has the better hit tool and ford the better power/speed combo or has this spring changed anything?
Kevin Goldstein
10:20
I'd give Soderstrom a better it and power tool.
Rhaye
10:21
Wait, what's the twitch stream link?
Kevin Goldstein
10:21
We will tweet it out and it will be on the home page.
Penny Pinching
10:21
How common is it for teams to not use their entire bonus pool because ownership doesn't want to?
Kevin Goldstein
10:22
I've never seen this happen . . . okay once by the Reds a long time ago.

If Joe Mack was available at #37 and you were running the Pirates' draft, would you take him?
Kevin Goldstein
10:22
hell yes.
Well-Beered Englishman
10:22
Twitch stream sounds fun except I only know what Twitch is from the news because I am a old. Do you have to sign up for it? Or like have an account?
Kevin Goldstein
10:22
Nope. Link will be on the home page and anyone can watch.
Jackson
10:27
Would you like the reds picking bubba? Or would it cost too much money?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:27
they're being tight lipped right now
10:28
Yeah, dont know if that
Reesh
10:28
What are the chances that Preller uses the money saved from Merrill to go after Chandler later? Could this be a similar situation to Hudson Head/Cole Wilcox?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:28
don't know if that
is the name they'd pursue, but feels possible
Knuckleball
10:29
When is the last time a draft like this occurred where most of the projected landing spots basically fell through because so many teams went underslot?
grover
10:30
Max Muncy turns 19 in a month (same 8/25 birthday as LAD's Muncy, FYI) and has 1 Plus tool... why should an A's fan be happy with this pick?
Kevin Goldstein
10:30
It's been a very weird draft.
A's fans should be happy because this kid can really hit.
Mark Walter
10:31
Any guys taken in the 1st round a strong risk not to sign?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:32
Doubt it. Teams don't typically pop someone unless they think they can get it done.
Atticus
10:32
Ty Madden in the 2nd round? Where do y’all think he goes
Kevin Goldstein
10:32
I have literally no idea at this point.
