The players considered for this: Soroka, Anderson, Touki, Bryce WIlson, Wright, Gohara, Allard, Wentz, Muller

Also, somewhat related question

1:12

Would you play a game on FG where there's a fake money sportsbook with odds on things like this, along with more conventional stuff you'd find at Vegas sportsbooks, with prizes for best performances

Is there any chance Jeren Kendall learns to hit?

Kiley McDaniel

1:13

I've been leaning no since he got to Vandy, so I'll stick with that. There's hope, tho.

Eric

1:13

See Atlanta getting someone like Brantley still? Or are resources running low?

Kiley McDaniel

1:14

There's money. Brantley (no QO) seems like the most likely OF choice, I projected 3x15 I believe

Jon

1:14

Please rank the following non-Kiley spellings of Kiley (per Wikipedia)!: Kylie, Koilee, Kilee, Kyly, Kilee, Kylee

Kiley McDaniel

1:15

I maintain that I have the only masculine spelling of my name and I won't hear anything to the contrary, my ego is fragile

Jake

1:15

Who will be the new scouting directors in Houston and Baltimore?

Kiley McDaniel

1:16

Good question! Talked to a few people about that yesterday. I expect non-traditional hires and it could be more of a committee approach in terms of the process. Don't have any dope, but interested to see what they do.

Miguel Amaya and Patrick Bailey are both 19, both catchers, and both 50 fv prospects on THE BOARD. But one of them plays professionally in full-season ball in the Cubs organization, and one of them is a sophomore at NC State. When you encounter an amateur and a pro player with the same fv, how do you tiebreak them? Do you pick the pro player because he's further along? Or the college player for ... some other reason?

Kiley McDaniel

1:17

Case by case but typically lean the pro option. Way more information

I could go see Bailey opening weekend and make him a 45 and that's unlikely in a handful of games watching a guy like Amaya

Bailey is a 2020, so scouts generally haven't watched him closely yet since he wasn't a big name in HS

VaBravesFan

1:20

Pache, Anderson, Gohara, Allard, and Izzy for Diaz and Haniger? Who says no?

Kiley McDaniel

1:21

I don't think SEA wants Gohara back at a markup, especially after a down year, but this isn't totally nuts on paper.

romorr

1:22

The amount of optimism in Birdland is insane considering our 47-115 record. Who said FO hirings can't be sexy?

Kiley McDaniel

1:22

gotta trust the process

BK

1:22

With all these FG writers going to the MLB, you're on the opposite end of the spectrum. Can you tell us why Carson just made the biggest mistake of his life?

Kiley McDaniel

1:22

Carson you don't have to disguise your name like that, I know it's you

romorr

1:23

What does Bobby Witt Jr need to do to shoot up to 1.1 for you. I know he is older for a HS player, so he has to have a monster year anyway.

Kiley McDaniel

1:24

Yes. He has 1-1 upside, but the offensive production has been a little hit and miss and he's older. He's in 1-1 conversations for some teams right now, but we aren't there yet.

Jack

1:24

Is it just me or does the NY media narrative of the M's so "desperately" want to move Cano's contract - that they're willing to eat half the contract and include Edwin Diaz - is absolutely ridiculous? If this was the case, shouldn't 3/4 of the teams be in on this?

Kiley McDaniel

1:26

NY media roots for big stories and then if they happen they root for knocking the big move. They like to sell papers and draw attention. Trading for Cano, in a vacuum, makes no sense for the Mets. Their deepest position is 1B and that's a win-now move for a team that isn't geared to win now. There's a lot of nonsense to wade through when you read what's written about this team.

Sam

1:27

How much of a premium does a FO put into acquiring the "Top prospect in the organization" as compared to the prospect's relative rank in a Top 100 list?

Kiley McDaniel

1:29

Some traditional FOs like it, some more GMs like it for short-term PR purposes. It's a total nothing tho. I know of one somewhat recent blockbuster where a team turned down a better package b/c it wasn't a team's top guy and most of you wouldn't be surprised to hear which GM that was.

Do you receive a disproportionate amount of Braves questions, answer a disproportionate amount of Braves questions, both, or neither?

Kiley McDaniel

1:32

It's like 50% Braves questions in here, kinda nuts really. I mean they have a good farm and just made some moves and have lots of interesting decisions to make, so I would guess NYY and ATL and a couple other teams would be most popular in here, but it's ATL by a lot most weeks

Tumbler, Whiskey

1:33

Any word on Oregon State's Kevin Abel's 2020 draft stock?

Kiley McDaniel

1:33

Average-ish stuff most of the season, so probably not top 2 rounds right now, but some of those guys creep into that area with 3 years of performance.

Billy Beane

1:33

You seen the A's plan for a new stadium? Looks sick and also like the sort of thing that won't happen.

Kiley McDaniel

1:34

Yeah I almost thought that looks so cool there's no way it works out like this

anthony

1:34

Is Hoskins moving back to first base?

Kiley McDaniel

1:34

Sounds like PHI's whole offseason had been put on hold to move Santana so they can do that, but it's hard to move that kind of contract when all the free agents are available

Bearry

1:35

Rays need a big RH bat with Cruz/Goldy/Castellanos/Martinez/McCutch available . Who's your bet?

Kiley McDaniel

1:35

Cruz or Goldy feel most likely, but McCutchen was who their scouts wanted instead of Wade Townsend until the old owner vetoed it, so that would be full circle for the almost local boy

Ford

1:36

Does MATT DAMON just hide in the comments until the chat is done, or is the question submitted early on and then you decide when to show it in the chat?

Kiley McDaniel

1:36

Don't ruin the mystery, man

Jeff

1:37

Thoughts on the Baird and Guttenberg hiring for the Mets?
