Thoughts on Jacob Melton?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:42
45, James and I agreed quickly
Robert
2:42
A little suprised to see Billy Carlson omitted from the list.  Is it (lack of) confidence in the hit tool that is driving this?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:42
Yes
Well-Tequilad Angeleno

With the Giants system on the rise, are there any other guys in there flirting with the outskirts of the top 100? And could big seasons from Josuar, Luis and the low level pitchers vault this system into the top 10?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:42
Whisenhunt, Davidson, Bresnahan all on the long list. I think the ACL crew they had last year was interesting and exciting but we're probably going to need another year before we're hyping De La Torre or Keyner in a huge way
Matty
2:43
Hypothetical range on Murakami?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:43
In there with Montes and Condon
Big Buckston
2:43
Random thought, but do you think the contraction of the minors will results in more prospects emerging from indy ball?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:43
In theory, but I also expected it to happen a little more than it has after the short season chop.

dont forget yunior marte (no, not that one) on the giants list!
Brendan Gawlowski
2:44
Another good one. Cayama too.

Who is the guy you differ on the most?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:44
We have a piece schedule for this week called "Daylight Guys: Prospects We Disagree About" that you're gonna wanna read.
Brendan Gawlowski
2:45
We both have players we pushed onto the list that the other wouldn't have ranked independently. And we both argued a guy or two off that would've been.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:45
Ah shit, Robert Duvall died.
JJ
2:46
Do you have a comp for Kruz Schoolcraft’s athleticism? When hearing about him it seems to be special class of talent and twitch but I don’t know how to think about or quantify that
Eric A Longenhagen
2:48
Definitely a graceful athlete, watched him hustle double popup slide last spring, huge kid. Sabathia is too much.. lefty Doug Fister?
boobie miles
2:48
Was Sebastian Walcott's ranking brought down due to recent elbow surgery?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:48
Yes, Boobie.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:48
His ranking, not his grade.

ive spent this offseason falling in love with esmerlyn valdez. you guys had him ending 2025 as a 45+ who was putting up video game numbers in the AFL ... am i delusional to think he had a shot at the list and mayb efell just short?
Eric A Longenhagen
2:49
Randall Grichuk type. 45 for me
Brendan Gawlowski
2:48
Y'all have been really good at identifying the late cuts today.
Avery
2:49
Maybe not so much a prospect question as a rules question, but why is Nolan McLean still prospect-eligible if he received votes for RoTY last year already? Did the BBWAA just mess up?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:49
No, McLean was just incredible enough last summer to get votes even though he was barely there.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:50
He's still rookie eligible.
People have made mistake on RoY ballots before
Eric A Longenhagen
2:52
The BBWAA messes up. I'm a new member, my ID card has my name misspelled and has me as part of the Seattle chapter. Though, MLB prints the cards, not the Association. It's an enormous body, stuff like this happens. I had Mick Abel on our list until Meg caught that he graduated during editing.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:50
Gabby Moreno if i recall
Brendan Gawlowski
2:50
Edinson Volquez ^
The Big Longlowski
2:51
have you ever gone to scout a game in jellies and a bathrobe?
Brendan Gawlowski
2:51
No, but the airline once lost my bag so I went to one in basketball shorts and a t-shirt. I stayed down the line out of embarrassment.
Dynasty Dispersal Draft
2:53
I don't need player link in chat. What I want is for them to be tagged so we can reference said chat later.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:53
gotcha
I can do tha
that* can you tell we've been chatting for two hours?

Hello. I have heard a lot about Konnor Griffin and all of his hype. How does he project? Who is your comp? I see he has 70 power and speed but idk what makes him 70 FV.
Eric A Longenhagen
2:54
70 FV means 5+ annual WAR on average during years of team control
2:55
We thought about 80'ing him. His contact rate is a little worse than Bobby Witt's, which is why we didn't. Bobby is on an 80 pace, there's some daylight there.
