Given that they went out of their way to get a comp pick, I think so
Dave
10:03
Not on The Board because of Florida commit, or because he didn't grade out well enough?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:04
the latter, he might be an add to the Rays list even though he's not on the draft board, but as a 35+
J Hench
10:04
6’4” 240 out of HS?  My goodness
Eric A Longenhagen
10:04
Yeah, he's a big dude
Romorr
10:05
Would you slot Holiday over Henderson in Baltimores system? See both at 55 FV, and very close in the rankings.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:05
no
Ben Schneider
10:06
MLB Pipeline has Isaac at 113, I think Kiley said he ranked Isaac in the 90's
Eric A Longenhagen
10:06
Okay I'm gonna stop Woj'ing now but will keep chatting for a bit
10:07
Let me get X on the Board real quick so I have something up there
10:11
Okay so the Thompson pick is a little surprising. COL could go over slot with their next pick but that leaves a bunch of teams to pick their pocket between now and then
10:14
Trying to do the Sal Stewart math
10:15
I like him, just wonder how you can give Collier $5 mil and then take a guy who's a tough sign. They did Mat Nelson last year, maybe they take Melendez?
Carl
10:15
Given the landing teams for drafted prospect, could be an update for any of them in their actual FV?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:15
I might, where they're drafted might cause a re-eval and then an FV change but the draft spot alone wouldn't do it
Ben Schneider
10:16
Why does the screen say Sterlin is a 2B?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:16
He played some at Florida but is not good there
10:20
Pretty sure Beavers is the Orioles comp pick
Bluejay fan
10:21
Hi Eric. I am happy about the Barriera pick. In his interview after the draft, he talks about being excited to join the Bluejays. Does this impact perhaps he signs around the slot money?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:21
He's over slot
Elbo
10:21
The ESPN coverage was impressive. We're stuck with Harold on MLBN now though.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:22
Just based on talking with Kiley, it sounds like they ironed a lot of things out after doing it for the first time last year, and Kiley planned for this day all spring with regard to video, data, etc.
HYTT
10:23
the Greg/O’Dowd dynamic was really awkward to watch
Eric A Longenhagen
10:23
interesting, they're at my 7 oclock and i can't hear a word they're saying

10:24
how real is the 1B/DH part for reggie crawford?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:27
It's worth trying, especially as he rebuilds innings coming off TJ, you have half a season of him doing nothing
10:28
Some of the MLBN comments flowing in here are making Meg and I die laughing but I have no ill will toward those guys and I can't post them
okay one of em
Harold Reynolds
10:28
"Xavier Whatshisname really reminds me of David Ortiz and Dave Winfield".
Kyle W
10:29
mlb broadcast needs more carlos and it would be way better
Eric A Longenhagen
10:29
i'm sure that's true, he's also coming into his own, has hit a different gear
Pinstripe Perry
10:29
Confused as to why MLBN uses Callis, Mayo, and Carlos on all the preview shows and then barely even tosses to them to discuss picks let alone put them on the desk. ESPN was a joy to watch though.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:29
Right, Jim is still the best doing this imo
Guest
10:29
Crime to hide Calis and Mayo like this
Steve
10:30
Thoughts on Beavers?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:31
Of all the college outfielders with hit tool questions, he and Jones are the two I'd pound the table for
both purely on upside, Beavers could be lefty-hitting Werth
desertfox
10:37
know of any teams getting their pocket picked?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:37
i do not, always a fun story however
Drew

McGriff killing it here
