Do you think we all collaborate to come up with the tweets? I haven't been on twitter for 18 months dude, not everything is a conspiracy.

How likely are Farmelo and Noble Meyer to be mariners tonight?
Eric A Longenhagen

Honestly the odds are probably like 5-10%
Reginald

Hearing Max Clark is a Pirate if he meets their number

Reds are very confident one of Jenkins and Clark falls to them at 7, per the same dood that said that they were confident Collier would fall to them last year. Heard that the Twins have a deal with Gonzalez done.

I've heard that the A's are looking to go under-slot at #6. Would Taylor fit that description?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:03
You guys are so plugged in!

Any specific issue re: Lowder, like Jenkins's hip?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:04
Allegedly elbow, people here are watching the end of his last Omaha start and wondering why he came out after 87 pitches
Craig

How are you able to hear so much buzz about players teams might select with their pick? Don't teams want to keep that under wraps?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:04
Because the slot system means they have to engage with agents

The Red Sox seem extremely hard to pin down on what they are thinking at #14 and even #50. What are you hearing in terms of targets at 14 or later tonight.
Eric A Longenhagen
7:06
There is buzz about them cutting a deal there
Byron Denniston
7:07
What’s the data on this underslotting Strategy? Other than everyone’s cheaper than they could be
Eric A Longenhagen
7:07
Best example is Cubs doing Schwarber and then Cease/Steele/Sands, with two huge hits in that group

I don't follow college baseball as much as football and basketball. Those sports have seen fringy players stay in school for NIL money. Will baseball be affected in the same way? I know the money isn't the same on the national stage but seems like SEC schools could match some low-six-figure deals if they really wanted to
Eric A Longenhagen
7:07
I thikn that's right. Gavin Casas a good example of it happening this year, though he's not a great pro prospect
DBRuns
7:08
About to turn on coverage. Should I be watching ESPN or MLB Network?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:08

7:09
Sounds like it will be Skenes 1

Eric A Longenhagen

Same as Crochet
hbharman
7:19
Where will Skenes slot in on the Top 100?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:19
It's on the board
7:21

7:22
