I think you nailed the list of them
Guest

Why is Seaver King your favorite player in the draft?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:45
Super super athlete, small school background, plays all over, crazy strong for his size, lotta dev left and way different than most college prospects
Mateo
9:46
Are you surprised at all that Brecht didn't go yet?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:46
Not crazy surprised but obvs I'd have taken him by now
9:47
Not clear who Arizona is taking after Texas takes Moore but have Waldschmidt finding a home with Baltimore behind them. Kinda foggy right now, honestly
Hammond
9:47
Any HS pitcher MIL at 34 is in on since they saved money in the 1st?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:48
That sounds right but idk which one they like best
Lots of guys who are their type floating around that area
Jack
9:48
Is the gap between Kurtz and Caglianone that sizeable in your opinion?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:49
Yes because I tend to be one the big time athletes, but other people don't feel that way. And Cags' plate discipline is terrible and there are people who really care about that.
Some feel like they can fix it, others not

Do the tigers underslot the next pick because of Rainer
Eric A Longenhagen
9:49
I would guess Rainer is slot
Julian
9:50
Compared to NHL/NFL/NBA, is it the most difficult sport to disaggregate player dev from draft evaluation in your opinion?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:50
Probably but the NFL has the scheme fit part of the equation which is kinda similar
9:51
I should have pee'd during this window
Guest
9:51
What did MIL do to low dollar / undrafted 2023 guys like Yoho, Wichrowski and Hunt to get so much out of them so soon?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:51
It's the kinda thing I'd try to reverse engineer from video and changes in their data which I haven't done yet. Unsure exactly what.
9:52
New intel: sounds like Ben Hess is under slot
9:54
So they are maybe not announcing picks out loud anymore?
9:55
They just put Ryan Waldschmidt's picture on the big screen with no announcement.
Next to an Arizona logo
9:56
okay now they put Griff O'Ferrall up there next to Baltimore logo
The vibe in here is weird now as we're all shocked this is happening with no announcements
10:00
Where are you guys getting the picks from now?
Guest
10:00
Melanie Newman doing the announcements on TV
Eric A Longenhagen
10:00
Ah ok
10:01
Ok I'm done Wojing now but will chat for a while longer

Burke to brewers
CM

What are the Orioles doing with O’Ferrall. Are there no arms they can take?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:03
Model-driven type, up the middle guy with great contact skill
James
10:03
This seems like a bit of a reach for O'Ferrall, no? Saw him in the 80s in your ranking.
Eric A Longenhagen
10:04
Just don't see the upside
Pinstripe Perry
10:04
Did you make it over to the futures game? Any new dope from over there?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:04
Yes I got a ton of good video that I'll be posting after the draft.
Know what, let's do this. Put in chat what pitcher from the Futures Game you want to see homeplate view of
Hammond
10:05
Will there be a mid-season top 100 update then?
Eric A Longenhagen
10:05
Yes but more built around me updating Buyers' systems prior to the deadline
