What was the general vibe from the skills competition? Just for fun, or anything scouts/analysts can take away from it?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:05
Honestly I had trouble hearing what the hell was going on
The music was so loud and I had to finish the Padres list
10:06
Hey I did 30 lists again woooooo!
Quinn Matthews and Bubba Chandler neck and neck in your guys requests
Ryan

Are the brewers saving up for one big target or are they planning on spreading the money around?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:06
I'm gonna guess the latter just because of their tendencies in the past but I don't know for sure
Hammond

Thanks for the lists. I know it is a lot of work, and even though it takes a while it is very much appreciated as you do great depth.
Eric A Longenhagen

Texas is now only 5 games out in their division. Are they going to buy, sell, or hold in your estimation?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:10

Sykora got 2.6 in the third last year fwiw. Shoving in A.

Right, if a team has money they can do it, but it's like a team or two rather than any of them

What is Woj?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:14
To Woj: Verb, the act of sourcing information from agents and inside draft rooms to break news before the pick is announced at the draft

Any reason why William Schidmt has dropped so much?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:14
He pulled his name out, heading to LSU
Beavis

So it turned out to be Lomavita and Wallace for Harvey-good move Nate
Eric A Longenhagen
10:14
I still think they have $ to play with, not just the pick
Because King is probably under slot, Lomavita slot

How is the food at the venue?

Haven't eaten yet today kiddos
Skinny 6-foot-5 righty with relatively advanced repertoire and effortless delivery. Short, repeatable arm stroke, especially for his size. Fastball was in the upper-80s last fall with Team USA, more 92-93 this spring. Secondary pitches all have distinct shape and movement; Sterling lives around the zone with them but lacks precise command. None of the secondary weapons are particularly nasty right now, requires projecting on Sterling throwing everything harder. Lower-variance high school prospect with backend starter projection.
