sounds like Bradfield to Baltimore

Andy

Hi Eric, thanks for doing this....Do you think Milwaukee sticks with their model of taking up the middle bats? Could you see them taking a 3b with guys like Taylor, Morales, wilken and Miller on the board?

Eric A Longenhagen

8:32

I think either of Taylor or Morales is good value now but think Taylor's bat to ball data is not up their alley

Drew

What happened to Maximo Acosta on the rangers prospect list?

Eric A Longenhagen

8:34

Teel rakes, his frame is slight for a catcher

8:35

Acosta is not a SS and i worry he won't hit. gotta do one of those

Any word on who the A's may be targeting with Wilson savings?

Eric A Longenhagen

8:42

So many HS hitters still around, not sure they have a specific target

8:42

Is Bo Bichette a fair Jacob Wilson comp if he grows into a 15 hr a year player?

Eric A Longenhagen

8:43

No. Kevin Newman floor, righty Adam Frazier, righty Arraez if he hits his ceiling

8:44

Brayden Taylor here to TB

Jon

Is that Kiley on ESPN? Have you gotten a chance to catch up with him yet?

Eric A Longenhagen

8:44

oh yeah, seen plenty of Kiley last few weeks.

Mike

8:45

I'm curious, but what's the point of trying to get the name a few seconds early? Is that more fun than analysing what's happening for you? Genuinely curious, I know we'll get great analysis later.

Eric A Longenhagen

8:45

The only time I ever flex

8:46

pure flex to be working multiple picks ahead, and I get a charge out of navigating this chat and my phone

8:47

Think we might see Arj go to Toronto

Guest
