Is it weird for you at this point in the draft when teams are taking guys that are 20 or 30 spots and a tier or two down your board?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:07
no
my board is mine, lotta variability
Jaime
11:08
Any word on a home for Prielipp?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:08
tee hee

I assume the Dbacks will get some savings from the Melendez pick to sign Jones?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:10
me too

Do outlier picks affect your thinking of a guy, e.g. would Xavier Isaacs have ended up with a lower rating if he got picked in the third round?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:12
He'll likely continue to fall down that HS Hitter category as more who aren't on The Board get picked
11:13
But he still deserves to be on the pro side of The Board, just as a bat-only flier type toward the bottom of the rays list

Another guy for the Rockies here with a sinekr shaped fastball
sinker*

would you take a flyer on palmquist around here?  seems like a sure fire LH MIRP
Eric A Longenhagen
11:15
I don't know if he has the breaking ball command for me to slam dunk him here

Is Cox an overslot guy? Maybe that's where the Hughes savings go
Eric A Longenhagen
11:16
I kinda don't think so, but don't know what his number is
TL Hopper
11:16
Didn't like Plouff getting up and announcing his employer and turnong it into a commercial for Jomboy Media.  It's not his moment. His draft moment was 15 years ago. Get up, make your pick, get off the stage.

RE Graham: sucks announcers can't tell the full story on prospects when it comes to make up since they don't want to nationally trash a kid. Makes sense but incomplete data for viewers
Eric A Longenhagen
11:19
and to be clear, one team's bad makeup is another team's red-ass competitiveness or simple immaturity
Justin
11:20
RE Graham: How would you rate his makeup concerns relative to other significant draft prospects over the past half decade or so?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:21
my sources haven't gone into specifics enough to do that

How much better are teams at identifying and drafting the best players each year than they were a decade ago? I feel like it’s dismissive to call the draft a true crap shoot. That may have been the case way back when, but not now I don’t think.
Eric A Longenhagen
11:24
It is dismissive, the integration of data and improved dev has made it better, but there is a portion of the whole thing that's random and chaotic because ultimately were talking about young men who suddenly have a lot of money and now live a unique lifestyle

Nathan Rode on twitter says that Jackson Cox has big spin rates. Is that a negative if his FB has sinker shape?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:24
Nate's right, I think those big curveball are easier to ID out of hand when your fastball lives at the bottom of the zone
hmm
11:25
pirates took barco with prielipp available. you have the latter two ticks higher. is barco within the margin of error of prielipp, or is that a miss on their part?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:25
Nah, I think Barco has a better shot to start
Twins bullpen could use help, wouldn't be crazy for them to rush him
Jeff G
11:27
Any idea for the Cardinals pick coming up?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:27
Nah, I stopped working the phone to do site stuff
CB
11:27
Do you have "your guys" who you know should grade 40 or 40+ or whatever, but you genuinely believe will be much better?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:28
yeah, and the inverse, and they tend to be either at the top or bottom of their FV tier
Guardian

Cleveland drafting a feel to pitch college strike thrower? Get out of town!
Eric A Longenhagen
11:29
what him throw 96 at instructs

Five minute warning here get your questions in

Is Cistulli still with the Blue Jays?
Eric A Longenhagen
11:31
yep
