Kevin, what kind of work did you guys do the first time you had a mid-teens pick and took Whitley? It didn’t seem like he was going much higher but were you going into draft day expecting to get him?
Kevin Goldstein
8:04
Certainly HOPING to get him, felt like a 50/50 chance during the day....
Dipoto
8:04
Who are the Angels taking?
Kevin Goldstein
8:04
We're hearing SO many different names.
Bachman a sudden rumor, and that would surprise me.
Felix
8:05
What are the Royals seeing in Mozzicato given its 40+ FV?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:05
big fastball carry, breaking ball feel, athletic and smooth as hell
he's a good prospect
Rachel
8:07
What position would benefit best from high intelligence? Who would be hurt by low intellect? I’d say pitcher & catcher, respectively
Kevin Goldstein
8:07
Catcher is my first, second and third answer.
Andrew
8:07
The Mets are going to stop this madness, right?
Kevin Goldstein
8:07
Maybe?
Dave
8:07
Speaking of Detroit having a deal in place, how many teams have "deals" in prior to the draft?
Kevin Goldstein
8:08
In the first round, nearly all, and quite possibly all of them.
raikura
8:09
who'll be the top-rated player not taken day one?
JoJo
8:09
How are y'all receiving news? Via messaging apps? Is it chaotic right now?
Kevin Goldstein
8:09
My "Messages" window is absolute insanity right now. I don't know how anyone does this job without Messages on a Mac computer.
Eric A Longenhagen
8:10
Maybe Josh Baez or Ryan Cusick?
Rachel
8:10
Can’t really evaluate the Royals pick till we see what they do next? Or is it already not a great look?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:10
agreed with the first point
Kevin Goldstein
8:10
Absolutely agree.
Eric A Longenhagen
8:10
KC knows what theyre doing
Guest
8:11
Sam Bachman? What?
Kevin Goldstein
8:11
I guess they weren't as concerned with the medical as some teams were.
Sweet Lou
8:12
Will Pittsburgh be working all night getting a final deal with tomorrow's #1 pick, or are those deals still already in place?
Kevin Goldstein
8:12
They mostly happen right before.
Eric A Longenhagen
8:17
sorry fo neglecting chat to woj
zurzles
8:17
Straight up what the hell is going on with this draft
Eric A Longenhagen
8:17
it's a blast, fuck the mocks
Kevin Goldstein
8:17
Indeed.
Michael
8:17
It didn’t seem like they had a deal with Bachman…why do you think they took him? Or am I reading his face wrong
Eric A Longenhagen
8:17
agreed, just the way it played out felt like they were on the phone as long as possible
Kyle
8:17
Any chance Will Bednar tells teams not to take him until the Pirates next pick? His brother is on the team and they can go way overslot to get him now assuming Davis was well underslot.
Eric A Longenhagen
8:17
this is clever and intersting, hadn't thought about it
sadtrombone
8:18
Eric says Brady House to WAS on Twitter. Come on, don't you love us?
Kevin Goldstein
8:18
Here's some love then, we're about to say Ford at 12.
Dalton Wilcox
8:18
So how many handshake deals were in that top 10? Yeesh
Kevin Goldstein
8:18
All of them.
Andy
8:19
So the Angels went cheap?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:19
i mean, yeah. blame moreno
