Will you have a 2nd round mock tomorrow?
Kevin Goldstein
10:32
We will NOT.
Andy B.
10:32
How does Henry Davis compare to Adley Rutschman? That’s the level of excitement that I feel like a catcher at 1-1 should make me feel. But I’m not feeling that excitement.
Kevin Goldstein
10:32
I like Davis a lot, but he's not in Adley's class....
Eric A Longenhagen
10:33
ty madden may come off here to DET
Keith
10:48
Could we see the angels target Chandler or Taylor on day 2? They were linked to both leading up to the draft…
Eric A Longenhagen
10:49
perhaps, Bachman was thought to be falling due to medical
so good chance he's under
Nomedeplume
10:49
If the tigers sign Madden, does that justify then passing on Mayer if the extra money means they get both players?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:50
Yes, and they still have a high pick tomorrow to play with
Terry Malick
10:50
Any pre-draft association between Maddox BRuns and the Dodgers? How surprising is that pick? How surprising can any pick late in the 1st really be?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:50
Not surprising. Dodgers love fastballs with carry and Bruns has a big one.
Keith
10:50
Any high school names that seem like a sure bet to go to school now?
Kevin Goldstein
10:50
Bubba Chandler is the obvious answer right now.
Marcus/Tampa
10:50
Would you guys say a good Brady House comp is Troy Glaus?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:50
you know, someone else made that comp to me this week. It's possible he fills out like that, yeah
Dave
10:51
Any idea where Jaden Hill goes
Eric A Longenhagen
10:51
no but I'm looking at WSH because that's the lazy thing to do with TJ guys
CatsFan
10:51
By fastball metrics does that = RPMs? And can you be successful with low RPM fastball?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:51

Gage Jump going to school at this point? Also didn't understand why he wasn't rated higher. Main negative seems to just be he is 5'10, which didn't think was that much of a deal anymore.
Kevin Goldstein
10:52
Hey everyone. Thanks so much for joining us tonight. We've had a great time tonight and I'll see you tomorrow on Twitch!
Eric A Longenhagen
10:52
think he wants north of 2mil and it's just about someone having it and liking him.
Dave
10:52
Who was the biggest riser after watching the future games? Baty?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:52
yeah I think so
Ben Schneider
10:52
Will teams work on their boards and deals overnight, or only tomorrow morning?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:53
oh they're working. people who work in baseball are freaking nuts
Scott Adams
10:53
Do you like the Reds picks? Mclain and allen?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:53
yeah I think they cleaned up today.
nelson i dig too
AF
10:53
Who's pre-season draft stock was hurt most by their performance this year? Del Castillo, Fabian, J. Hill come to mind
Eric A Longenhagen
10:54
Del Castillo. College catchers almost always go top 20 if they can do anything at all and he fell behind Nelson who went undrafted last year while eligible
Lash
10:54
What are both of your favorite and least favorite picks from the first round?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:55
House was great value, thought Hoglund was too. Feel like McGreevy was a reach. Sweeney too, but I worry we underrate him. I feel more comfortable with my McGreevy eval.
Shodai
10:55
Is it bad the booing of Manfred is making me a fan of the big draft show?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:55
I thought it was funny that he was stymied by it initially
Padrefan
10:56
You didn’t think merrill was a reach?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:56
i think it's part of a bigger plan, am reserving judgment
Tigers Fan
10:56
Thoughts on Tigers draft and passing on Mayer?  A lot of fans feel disappointed.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:56
they had a verbal agreement with Jobe and didn't burn the kid. Respect.
