Is Wake Forest doing anything in its pitching lab that MLB teams aren’t doing with their player development?  Does it make teams look at Burns or Lowder as more of a finished product with less projectability?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:36
I think the number of teams who are way behind Wake has probably shrunk to like 1 or 2, and probably more because of $ than philosophy
8:37
Carson Benge to the Mets

How do you feel about an under slot strategy given the strength of the draft class?

If you believe in your room and in your dev, I think it's fine

Twins on yeasavage or waldschmidt
Eric A Longenhagen
