With Wilken, Burke, and now Fischer can we say the Brewers have a type?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:08
I think it's one of their types, yes
Like Julianne Moore is my type, and so is Jessica Williams
Travis
8:09
Any concern with this Southisene guy going to college?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:10
Nah, at this pick the deal is verbally agreed upon before they turn in the card
oops
8:10
did you accidentally just reveal your KC source
Eric A Longenhagen
8:10
Lol no
which is illegal
8:10
i feel like most of your posts should have this tag
Eric A Longenhagen
8:11
I guess, but if it benefits everyone and the player has as much agency as possible in the scenario, what do i care?
I'm not a cop
I will probably stop woj'ing soon

Every time I think about the deal being agreed on beforehand I think about that Kyler Murray pick again and make a face
Eric A Longenhagen
8:12
Yeah but that fell apart because of the year he had playing football.
God i hope when he's done playing football he at least decides to take BP or something

I mean Russ did some spring training shenanigans when he was in the NFL right?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:14
Yeah but one guy seems like he wants to give a speech to minor league baseball players and the other guy wants to play Call of Duty
This is Gage Wood to Philly btw
8:16
Cleveland is an interesting spot for LaViolette
Kind of like DeLauter. Down draft year after huge soph season

Did you know about Bremner's mom passing from cancer two weeks ago? How would you even evaluate a player when they've gone through something like that?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:17
Something tells me this is a rhetorical question?

Did any of the draft picks so far help themselves a lot at the combine or is that kind of a non factor?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:18
Probably in the room with teams
more than on the field
at least among guys picked so far

LaViolette's .258 batting average in his junior year won't play in models
Eric A Longenhagen
8:18
models regress everything

Official broadcast is talking about Gage Wood as a bullpen arm for the Phillies this year - is that realistic?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:21
I mean...yeah? It would involve him getting hot again, but he didn't throw that many innings this year. No harm in seeing where he's at when you get him to the facility. If you're in the playoffs and think he's one of the best dozen guys in your org...

Nice to see Heriberto Hernandez up and producing in the majors. You were on him before anyone else, and while he’s unlikely to ever be a star, that was a good eye on your part, and tons of credit to the kid with the T-Rex arms to put the work in to get there.
Eric A Longenhagen

Heribertgod!

LaViolette not even a 35+ for you anymore, or am I just not finding him on the Board?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:21
He's on there

Glad this draft seems to be moving along pretty well/quickly. After watching basketball/football drafts, this is so much more enjoyable
Eric A Longenhagen
8:22
I can tell you that, for me, it's moving VERY fast
Patrick

You think the Royals will try to develop Hammond as a two way?
Eric A Longenhagen
8:22
Initially, yes.
Dan Norman Lear
8:24
Just once I want them to comp someone to like Miguel Cairo
Glen Barker
8:26
Chris Burke dropped a Zack Cozart comp on Marek Houston, I have no idea if that makes any sense but it was nice to hear one that wasn't completely over the top
