any late news on the Dodgers or Red Sox?
Eric A Longenhagen
6:31
Myles Upchurch buzz for Dodgers later, probably not at 40.

Everyone gets a HOF comp besides #1ovr, who gets Geraldo Perdomo
Eric A Longenhagen
6:33
Love it. We can't hear the broadcast from the room. I see the back of Kiley's head.
Pirates are taking Seth Hernandez
Apples to apples
6:34
Arquette vs Aloy...is the difference really that huge? I feel like the hit tools aren't meaningfully different, and Aloy is more likely to stick at SS
Eric A Longenhagen
6:34
I think your logic about SS fit is sound, Arquette i just kinda freaky, though.
Luis
6:34
The MLB network broadcast is so bad. Has Reynolds even seen any of these guys?
Eric A Longenhagen
6:35
He's been around them but hasn't sat and watched them. Callis and Lance and Mayo should just be on there but that's not how big corporate media works. You get DeRosa, whose schedule must dictate he wakes up at 5 am
Liam Doyle
6:36
How do you feel about the spencer strider comp i was just given?
Eric A Longenhagen
6:37
Pre injury Strider isn't a bad comp. Huge heater.
Nick
6:38
Who would you guess is your highest rated high schooler who makes it to college? Dual sport guy like Alec Blair?
Eric A Longenhagen
6:38
Or Schoolcraft
Michael
6:38
Any chance Arquette slips to 10?
Eric A Longenhagen
6:38
Buzz he's going 7 after Sethy, one source tho
6:39
second source now
Hearing Sheduer Sanders is falling

Given the same bonus pool would you rather a few extra comp picks or a top heavy draft (not sure how much the answer differs depending on the draft class). I’d use the O’s vs the lottery winners as an example but the Orioles pool is a little bigger than those at the top of the draft.
Eric A Longenhagen
6:39
More picks. Trust yourself to pick good players and your org to develop them.
JD
6:41
Has Nick Kurtz leapfrogged Caglianone for you based on how their mlb careers have started?
Eric A Longenhagen
6:41
Yeah, he leapfrogged him on the offseason hondo
Schefter
6:41
Hearing Sanders to the Saints top of the second
Elbo
6:41
The Espn broadcast has Kiley and three guys who watch college baseball. Why watch Harold?
Eric A Longenhagen
6:42
I really like Amsinger and that broadcast, I just feel like Carlos and Jim and Mayo earn the right to do this broadcast
Plus Jim is like ripped now
Chuck
6:42
How under slot would you expect Bremner to be? Trying to stay calm
Eric A Longenhagen
6:42
No idea
Could be huge cut
Mike
6:42
Not a draft question....But Emmanuel Rodriguez hurt again. I don't know that we can ever count on him at this point?
Eric A Longenhagen
6:43
Bro, I'm with you. Love the guy, but it's constant.
Pinstripe Perry
6:43
Thanks Eric for another cycle of tremendous team lists and draft work. Your analysis is second to none. Always wonderful to be here on draft night and hear reasonable analysis as opposed to whatever is going on on MLBN (thank goodness Kiley is the focus point for ESPN's coverage). All that said...any Yankees dope? Demographic, specific player, etc?
Eric A Longenhagen
6:43
No, heard Damon was on the Cape watching JT Quinn last week, though.
Gabe
6:43
Hey Eric, any Jays news for picks #8 or #81? Thanks.
Eric A Longenhagen
6:44
Working on it.
Matt
6:44
Appreciate your work, Eric. What does the actual process of trying float a player down look like?
Eric A Longenhagen
6:45
Telling his agent you have $X for him where X is a really big number, and that they should tell other teams that's his number or you're going to college.
DBRuns
6:45
Who are guys who have the biggest disconnect between model-oriented teams and scouting-heavy teams?
Eric A Longenhagen
6:47
great question, I want to get to this but i'm working the phone hard right now
6:48
One source Jojo Parker to Toronto
6:50
People think Steele Hall is going to the Reds
Connecting…
