Better command, stuff not quite as good

It's loud in here and totally full

I second the podcast request. EL is the goat.

Multiple sources telling me Bazzana will go 1

Who is your favorite player in this draft? Can be aesthetics, vibes, or just the player you think is the best
Eric A Longenhagen
7:12
Seaver King
Chris

Mariners going college pitcher no matter what or BPA?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:13
Tough to say college arm for sure because they are scant
Trey if he's there, if he's not I don't think they reach for one
angler
7:13
stockyards is an awesome venue

I thought it was a little too on the nose to have the draft here, like the people who named Neugenix Total T decided to have it here, but I'm loving it
Chase Burns going second according to two sources
Ben Schneider

Hi Eric, thanks for doing this as always. What do you think of the return for Hunter Harvey?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:15
Super cool to add a pick the night before the draft, I like Wallace as a part time corner guy, someone who you win with but not because of. Let's see what they do with the extra pick and $

Speaking of Kiley, I just listened to the audiobook version of Future Value. I only liked your parts though I promise
Eric A Longenhagen

I feel like the seams show in our writing voices for sure
Evan

If kurtz didn't have any injury history how would he compare to Jac?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:16
Not quite that nutty an athlete
Amazorean Mets

What are the mechanics of independent media spoiling the picks? Like, the Guardians have actually already selected and the broadcast is 10 mins behind so they can queue up their packages? Or it's actually leaked? Would be wild for a team employee to be dialing the press before it's official.

I'm texting with like 20 draft rooms
I keep them abreast and vice versa
they get time to prep and i do my annual flex so you know I'm not faking this
Mitch
7:17
Is there a guy, not a top 10ish, that you think we could look back 5 years from now on and wonder how he became the best player from this draft?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:18
One of the high school infielders who goes late 1st/comp, a la Gunnar

I have Condon going 3
7:21
Then one source says Kurtz after that to Oakland but I'm working to confirm, wouldn't act on that just yet
Bryan
7:21
Is Bazzana limited to 2B, or can he play 3B or OF?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:21
below-avg 2B, LF if things don't go well
Chris
7:23
Will anyone let Jac pitch? Or will he go into rookie ball as a 1B/DH?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:24
velo way down this year
angler
7:24
by "wouldnt act on that just yet" you dont mean slam max bet on draftkings right?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:24
that's exactly what i mean
Szakyl
7:24
Did you have Caglione as a 45+ the other day? I’m seeing 50 now.
Eric A Longenhagen
7:24
I did, an old scout talked me into it
Farhandrew Zaidman
7:25
Condon should hit about a billion HR in Coors, right?
Eric A Longenhagen
7:25
Yeah, I'm scared of his hit tool somewhat but that's a great fit
John
7:26
does condon’s chase #s concern you at all?
