TEX was seen as Langford's floor, guessing he goes next
one source says so
then Jenkins
Al Avila
7:24
Not sure if they meant to but ESPN listed Skenes as the pick a couple mins early
Eric A Longenhagen
7:24
lol, that's funny
Ken
7:25
Please, please, please say Callis is wrong and the A's are going to select someone other than Jacob Wilson?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:25
IDK, did he say that on air or something?
Ted Yost
7:27
Seems kinda wild A's wouldn't jump on one of Clark or Jenkins
Eric A Longenhagen
7:27
Neither of them is going to be there, I don't think
DBRuns

Just curious, how do you get these confirmations? Do teams essentially scoop you as a favor given how much you put out in the public realm?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:28
No, we're rolling dope all the way down the board together. i get them stuff early and they confirm when they can. I'm usually texting before I put it in here

Long time reader, first. time question asker..... im an avid blue jays fan since 92.. Who should they take?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:29
I think they're in a spot where they can take the Kawhi Leonard of this draft, someone of great value will fall there as teams with comp picks in front of them get cute
Jon
7:29
How bad is the Royals’ farm system? Does whoever get taken tonight slot immediately to number one?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:31
It's the worst one, maybe the pick is no. 1
here are the current farm rankings btw
7:32
Confirmed Jenkins 5
Zombocom
7:32
you think crews is not a 70 hitter?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:32
Nah, he's good but tail in on his hands is a problem for him
Jeet
7:32
Awesome work Eric positive vibes!
Eric A Longenhagen
7:32
my adrenaline hasn't kicked in yet, still coasting
7:33

7:34
We night get our first weird one here with Oakland...

Callis tweeted J. Wilson this morning
Eric A Longenhagen
7:34
^ that sounds right
7:35
good for Jim to have that during the day, freaking incredible
John Frieda
7:36
Your boy Kileys hair is looking top notch on the ESPN broadcast!
Eric A Longenhagen
7:36
He and I are both slowly losing it, but he coiffed the shit out of it today
Comp
7:36
Matt Shaw - Ian Kinsler?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:36
oooh, I kinda dig that
Drew
7:37
Who's the Termarr Johnson Sixth Tool (i.e., make up) Award Winner in 2023?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:38
So Jacob Wilson 6 to Oakland and then I'm working to confirm Rhett Lowder at 7 to CIN
sadtrombone
7:38
can you explain what is not happening with Watts-Brown’s fastball shape? I don’t think I have ever seen you classify a fastball as having no shape.
Eric A Longenhagen
7:39
Have a second source saying Lowder 7
Jon
7:40
Are you surprised how the first five picks went down?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:40
Kinda sorta, those were the best five guys so that isn't surprising but Skenes 1 I had no dope on that
Guest
