How do you think the Red Sox feel about their pick? Would have they preferred Leiter or Davis or are they thrilled Mayer unexpectedly fell in their laps?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:51
(massive erection)
Kevin
7:51
Eric’s gotta be feeling good about the Cowser prediction
Eric A Longenhagen
7:51
oh yeah and i already let kevin hear it

Does the Davis pick over HS SS signal anything about Pirates internal timeline or was it made more off the desire to go underslot.
Kevin Goldstein
7:51
It was more about finding the best talent/$ balance than any kind of timing thing.
Ezra
7:53
Are there any worries about Jobe and sticky stuff with his rapid burst onto the scene and top pitches?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:53
no and his high speed looks clean
Danny
7:54
What are chances Harry Ford is around at 20?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:54
dont have a great sense of that yet
Dodger Fan
7:54
Not relevant but MAX MUNCY
Kevin Goldstein
7:54
I mean, kinda relevant, he could go late first.
Steve
7:55
Could the D-backs have picked an "unsignable" guy in order to get the 7th pick next year, increasing their signing money to just overpower everyone in 2022?
Kevin Goldstein
7:55
no.
Ben Cherington
7:55
What's the likely savings on Davis over Mayer?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:56
I'd guess close to slot at 4 is what Davis gets
Mitch
7:56
Is Mozzicato an under slot pick? Or are they just crazy high on him?
Kevin Goldstein
7:56
I think a little of both.
Ben Cherington
7:57
Where does Davis rank with the Pirates other 50FV hitters?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:57
all the 50 FV players top 100 rankings are on the draft board
Ian
7:57
Rocker to the angels a lock?
Kevin Goldstein
7:57
Not at all.
Joe
7:59
How should KC fans view the Mozzicato pick with the consensus top-10 talent still there?
Kevin Goldstein
7:59
By raising their eyebrows.....
Adam
7:59
So far, looks like the teams in the late teens are going to have consensus early teens talent available. Really interesting start to the draft.
Kevin Goldstein
7:59
Yeah, this is getting really crazy really early. It's fun god dammit.

Does how things have shaped up so far maybe show just how big the gap is of what the teams know vs. the public?
Kevin Goldstein
8:01
Like Kiley said on the podcast, I think you'd be shocked on the variability on how teams evaluate and rank players.
Cody
8:01
Would you be surprised to see Rocker fall into the late teens? Looking at you Cincy
Kevin Goldstein
8:01
Still, yes.
Danny
8:01
Bigger surprise- Mozz to the Royals at 7 or Ian Anderson to the Braves at 3?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:01
mozz
Marlins
8:01
How likely is it that Harry Ford falls to them?
Kevin Goldstein
8:01
I would bet he's available there.....
Jack
8:02
KC - WTF?
Kevin Goldstein
8:02
Royals fans are salty.....
Johnnie
8:02
How much work are teams doing now that a couple big guys have fallen?
Kevin Goldstein
8:02
Scramble city.

Is there a point where Watson and/or House decide to go to school over signing?
Kevin Goldstein
8:03
Probably, but I doubt we are close to there yet.
