Michael Taylor was one (maybe not type 1), I bet there are others.

What are you wearing?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:10
I'm in my undies and a t-shirt from Target (it's 104 today)
Ian
9:12
You said the angels pick was coming down to $... Was their pick underslot?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:13
Unsure, perhaps. Assume Howard isn't over or maybe wanted more money to play for someone other than Cubs?
Yogi

25% chance that Soderstrom slips to Oakland at #26?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:16
looking that way...
MB

Thoughts on the Brewers picking Mitchell?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:16
Good value. Not all that different from Travis Swaggerty a couple years ago and he's a top 100 guy now
Dan
9:19
So is Hancock healthy? Has there been any updates? Would you have taken him or Gonzales at 6?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:19
Yeah, no medical flags on Hancock based on pre-draft work. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2020-mlb-draft/summary?s...

Think Bitsko drops to Comp Round A, or will someone take him before then?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:22
Anyone who pops him from here on out in round 1, except maybe TB, would have to mortage the rest of their draft. Or at least a huge chunk
STL
9:23
You had Jordan Walker at 41 on The Board. Did the Cardinals just make another Delvin Perez-shaped mistake?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:24
Nah, he's in this range for most clubs. I was worried about how his body developed during the offseason. he was in the same tier as Veen for Kiley and after last summer.
Barry
9:27
What’s Cleveland doing with these savings?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:27
Whatever they want in the comp round now
Chris
9:27
would be helpful if you would post picks as they happen for those not watching but wanting to follow along
Eric A Longenhagen
9:27
they're going up on The Board
Jay
9:32
Tucker to Cleveland: Reach?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:32
He's under slot, almost certainly
matt
9:32
was tucker linked to cleveland at all?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:33
I struggled linking him to a club, just knew it was likely to happen in round 1 somewhere
AHume92
9:33
Orioles must be fuming.
RyanW

Intrigue!
Sonny
9:35
Bitsko Boom! Kind of excited for that org to get that arm
Eric A Longenhagen
9:35
it's very exciting
Jake
9:35
What are your thoughts on bitsko to rays
Eric A Longenhagen
9:35
on talent, a steal. And they can cut in the comp round to make sure the deal gets done
John
9:35
Talk to me about Kelley
Eric A Longenhagen
9:36
big bodied high schooler with huge arm strength, plus changeup, curve isn't great and some worry about how the bod holds up.
I don't have Atlanta but looks like Oakland Soderstrom
Guest
9:37
Yankees getting a good selection of college arms now
Eric A Longenhagen
9:37
agreed
Chris
9:37
Odds orioles get soderstrom?
Andy
9:37
Who do the Orioles need to get now to make up for that #2 pick now that Bitsko is gone?
Eric A Longenhagen
9:38
I think if Soderstrom doesn't go to Oak then it might be because the orioles bough him back
Kelley
9:38
We're not selling jeans here.
Eric A Longenhagen
9:38
No, we're playing sports.
9:39
Guess what you use for that?
