(this was one of the scrimmage notes added to the board btw)

1:07

Since Hancock was on the shelf late in 2019 and didn't pitch over the summer, lots of national scouts haven't seen him at all and he's arguably the best P prospect in years. I've found he's really underrated by the internet, since most people just assume Torkelson and Martin are the only options at 1-1 right now.

1:11

Your writeups on Peguero/Malone seem to be more favorable on the return the Pirates got for Marte than most of the national media has portrayed it as. Is Peguero a potential top-100 guy this year? The 50FV glob is tough to parse

Kiley McDaniel

With Eric based in AZ and me based in FL/GA, we've seen those guys a lot collectively. I find the national momentum/consensus for prospects that aren't top 10-15 overall picks doesn't really get going until full-season ball and neither of them has gotten there yet

Spider Puig

1:13

When do you anticipate the list for 2020 international prospects to be posted on THE BOARD?

Kiley McDaniel

1:13

we generally do that for prospects week

There is tons of hype around Blaze Jordan and his power, but most rankings don’t even have him in the top 30. Is this the classic bat only 1B knock on him which has underrated some big time players like Alonso and Hoskins?

Kiley McDaniel

1:14

well you picked the two good examples and ignored all the neutral/bad ones. But, yes, a R/R HS 1B isn't a good profile to be betting on continually. I'd set the over/under for overall pick Blaze is taken at 23

Jason

1:15

The rosters for my dynasty team's minor-league draft will be locked before Prospect Week runs, so forgive me for jumping the gun. I have been offered a trade involving Shane Baz; not asking for his ranking, but can you reveal his FV?

Kiley McDaniel

1:15

50 right now

likely stays there

Roy Hobbs

1:15

With or without your crystal ball, could you share with me, which of these prospects have the best chance of getting a 55 a year from now, (order/rank) if you wish. Busch, Johan Duran, Harrison, Stott, Swaggerty. Thanks

Kiley McDaniel

1:15

Swaggerty then Duran

Oneil Cruz

1:15

Are you a believer he can make the swing work after what he did at HiA/AA as a 20 year old last year? Is this the year he breaks out and becomes a monster?

Kiley McDaniel

1:16

We're pretty bullish on Mr. Cruz. I'd assume we'll rank him higher than anyone else, but I haven't been keeping close tabs on other lists.

Seanto

1:16

It'll never happen because Tampa gonna Tampa, but who says no to Arenado for Greg Jones, Moises Gomez, John Doxakis, and Joe Ryan? I suspect the Rays may say no to that, but is that kind of return about what COL could/should expect?

Kiley McDaniel

1:16

TB will never pay a player that much per year

the trade machine just says STOP

Bobby V's Fake Mustache

1:17

In your conversations with teams, what are the biggest flaws with TrackMan?

Kiley McDaniel

1:18

1/Calibration
2/Trouble w/extreme locations, like pop ups, worm-burners and flyballs into the corners

ke'bryan mays hayes

1:18

Any thoughts on where Oscar Colás might end up, and could the international bonus money received in the Marte deal make the Pirates a potential destination?

Kiley McDaniel

1:19

Hearing some rumors of one team being a clear leader for him with 2020 pool money

Roger Denim

1:19

NMSU obviously inflates offensive numbers a bit... what are the odds Nick Gonzales is a clear first rounder playing at a more neutral park? Seems like half that team hit .350 last year and it’s tough to discern how real Gonzales’s numbers are.

Kiley McDaniel

1:19

Fair question before the Cape. Clown question now, bro.

Bobby V's Fake Mustache

1:19

Lots of people have asked questions about working in a FO. Flipping to the other side of the negotiating table, what are some things you'd recommend in order to become an agent?

Kiley McDaniel

1:20

not having a conscience is beneficial

Parts and Gleyber

1:20

Will Mitch Haniger's ruptured testicle be ready for Spring training? I'm assuming it won't be in the best shape of it's life.

Kiley McDaniel

1:21

dammit guys stop asking about it

6' 11" Bottom

1:21

Who's your Super Bowl pick?

Kiley McDaniel

1:21

Chiefs -1.5, Mahomes MVP, over on Mahomes rushing yards

Kevin

1:21

I asked this to Eric last week, and he just shrugged, but what is the percent chance that Oneil Cruz is a 65 FV or greater prospect by this time next year.

Kiley McDaniel

1:22

11%

1:22

Recently, another publication put Abrams over Witt Jr. How close do you see those 2 and are you surprised by that choice?

Kiley McDaniel

1:22

They're very close, we've had them almost back to back since just before the draft

PatEdMartin

1:23

Who are some of the D1 to JUCO bouncebacks to look out for in the draft this year? Guys that we may not have heard much about in a while.

Kiley McDaniel

1:23

Most of the JC guys on the board have comments that outline their path

Swinging A’s

1:23

Pedro Pineda to the A’s likely?

Kiley McDaniel

1:23

yes, for big money

Reid

1:23

If Wander was a guarantee to stick at SS, would you 80 him?

Kiley McDaniel

1:24

That would mean his median/expected outcome is one of the top 5 players in the game. I feel like that's a purely theoretical grade for a guy with no MLB time. 70 seems as high as we can go
