So, your board has Jett Williams listed as a CF- I'm assuming that's because you think he ultimately gets moved off SS. Do the Mets at least try him out in the IF?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:25
Yes and yes
MikeD
9:25
What team, if any, is the most open?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:26
none are especially open about what they're thinking, some open about what they've heard regarding other teams
Dustin

It feels like there's more emphasis on players with parents who are pro athletes
Eric A Longenhagen
9:26
Right, you have the genetic part of it and often the $ component too
9:27
so they have access to facilities, travel, etc.
Rockies
9:28
I have always felt that the Rockies should focus on taking hitters, which they have proven they can develop, vs pitchers which have proven much more difficult for them to develop. Isn't their best way forward to flip surplus hitting, or sell high on hitters benefiting from Coors for more developed arms (i.e. Corey Dickerson for German Marquez)?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:29
I think that's reasonable but it's much more sustainable to apply dev science to pitching, which COL is way behind in doing

Is Jett the Met a terrible pick for the Mets or is it just me?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:29
I love him
have had people who think he'd go top 5 if he weren't so short
his swing is athletic af for such a wee guy
and he's added huge strength since last summer
9:30
Barriera likely way over slot here to TOR btw

Hear anything on the Sox pick?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:33
Actually struggling with this one, have one soft Mikey Romero rumor I'm trying to run it down
9:34
Now hearing Drew Gilbert, again kinda soft
Now have Mikey Romero from a couple places
Taylor
9:35
What you just said about Jett reminds me a lot of Corbin Carroll coming out of the draft. Short, strong, athletic, might go higher if taller.
Safaginia
9:35
Very Bloom kinda move
Eric A Longenhagen
9:35
agreed

Do you like Barriera's finish to his delivery?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:36
I don't love his fastball feel but think he's athletic enough that his leg lock is okay
Getting more confirmation on Romero
to Boston
Dan
9:37
How do rumors of pending picks even work? Do they all start with a leak in the draft room or are there actually signs you can look for?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:37
I have tarot cards
ATC

Who do the Yankees get
Eric A Longenhagen
9:38
Actually have some Spencer Jones talk there
Travis
9:39
Keith Law hates the Owen Murphy pick. You agree?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:39
no
Phil

I've been using a Ouija board but it just keeps talking about how great Mel Ott is.
Eric A Longenhagen
9:39
lol

When can we buy replica Longenhagen tarot cards as merch
Eric A Longenhagen

"The Fool" and it's just Carson in a jester outfit
Old prospector

Where would Jackson Chourio be drafted if eligible?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:41
great question and probably worth thinking about when you're trying to triangulate his FV. probably top 10

Do you think Toman to the White Sox?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:43
Actually hearing Noah Schultz but not resounding
