It's understandable that all of the volatile arms fell a little bit relative to where we had them but it's about time for them to go. I wouldn't say it's a talent tier drop off yet, more time to prioritize the risky guys
Eric A Longenhagen

Nobody has Boston dope

Justin Lebron had top 5 smoke going into the year, did he just fail to impress or are there deeper concerns
Eric A Longenhagen
3:13
Always had a volatile hit tool, didn't improve.

3:14
Schaffner underslot, right?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:14
I do have one person saying so now, yes.

Is the Cleveland pick of Peterson similar to when they took Gavin Williams?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:15
Different in a sense that Gavin was small school, better strikes. Breaking ball quality similar
Michael Baumann

DJ Shawna is playing Chappell Roan now, I am no longer annoyed by how loud it is in here
Eric A Longenhagen
3:16
I hope she's okay
Dont want her to become the Kevin Durant of music
More Schaffner to Boston talk
Michael Baumann
3:17
She got so famous so quickly she didn't realize she had to get off social media, but also she can be as mean to her fans as she wants, they've earned it
John Church

Does the inside info come from guys in the scouting dept of the team picking, or from other teams on what they are hearing?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:18
Yes to both, basically
maxjusttyped
3:19
Who was your 1.1 in the NBA draft
Eric A Longenhagen

I wanted the Grizzlies to get Peterson

Do you guys miss when the picks were streamed without commentary (just the front offices speaking to the commissioner's office) on Mlb.com?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:19
We aren't hearing commentary here, we have a stage show between picks, not the broadcast.
3:20
One source says Coleman Borthwick to Padres
Michael Baumann
3:22
The Padres do love an Ent-shaped high school two-way guy
time to see how much money there really is in wildlife enterprise management
Eric A Longenhagen
3:23
I've got Cameron Flukey going to Detroit
themjs
3:24
Just checked The Board, why so low on the hit tool for Lombard?
Eric A Longenhagen
3:24
Because he had a 61% contact rate in high school
Michael Baumann
3:24
Whoever asked which players from this class would be good in the booth earlier: Borthwick sauntered into our suite at the combine and announced that he was a good talker, if he has any kind of career and TV exists that far in the future he's gonna end up as a color guy
Eric A Longenhagen

Here is the reverse leaderboard for contact in the big leagues right now Major League Leaderboards - 2026 - Batting | FanGraphs Baseball

Getting Cade Townsend to Cubs buzz
Phillip Denny
3:26
Flukey was the dude ripping 24 IVB 4S at Coastal Carolina right?
Michael Baumann
3:26
Flukey is *incredibly* vertical. I don't know if it's gonna work but he's a really fun pitcher
rfilla
3:27
Do the inside sources risk anything by sharing info? Angry glare from the boss?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:27
Sometimes the source is the boss
Eric A Longenhagen
3:27
No because everything I learn I'm telling them before I tell you
Michael Baumann
3:27
Flukey: also a South Jersey guy so much higher on my board
Eric A Longenhagen
3:29
So cade Townsend here to Cubs then Ace Reese to Seattle
lmb2020
3:29
BG how much have you learned about Philly/Jersey against your will today?
Brendan Gawlowski
3:29
I've been bothering Baumann with questions all week
3:30
Better to ask him if he's tired of me yet
