How would you approach Forest Whitley's development and timeline this year? I'm assuming you think he's good enough to contribute in Hou down the stretch.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:37
He doesn't have much to prove as far as effectiveness. Really moe function of service time and having a role. Wouldn't shock me if it was an 11 days and up for good or 2 months for super two, then up for good.
Also limiting innings, so he's not going to be in the rotation all year. Maybe a Walker Buehler in 2018-like usage so he's fresh for the playoffs
2:38
Also, here's a cover of a Nirvana song that I'm digging:
This song
I'm into it (46.7% | 21 votes)
 
Nah, I'm good (53.3% | 24 votes)
 
Total Votes: 45
2:39
And if you're not a Nirvana fan, this sounds nothing like them, give it a couple seconds and you'll see what I mean
Chris
2:39
Who ends up being a better pitcher Luis Patino or Mackenzie Gore?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:39
Still got Gore, but it's a conversation now
Kurt
2:39
What are the odds that Casey Mize debuts this year for the Tigers?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:39
75%
Darren Rovell
2:39
What’s your take on the Rays eliminating seating on the upper level?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:39
Gotta create demand somehow
Darren Rovell

What is the easiest, quickest to learn, and most lucrative progroamming language to learn?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:40
For baseball, SQL
For other industries, I'm not the guy to ask
Canadian Jesus
2:40
Adames or Gurriel jr. ?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:40
Adames
Jake
2:40
Which STL 3b do you take - Montero or Gorman?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:41
Gorman, but I think Elehuris Montero may get adjusted up early in 2019. Thinking he's more 45 FV than the 40+ we put on him
Benjamin
2:42
Akil baddoo has an 80 grade name right?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:42
yes
Benjamin
2:43
Can a curveball be plus with a below avg spin rate?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:43
Yes, but it's unlikely
Benjamin
2:43
What do you make of a pitcher with low 90s heat, plus splitter and changeup (2 distinct pitches) and 2 average breaking balls. Average command
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:44
Sounds like a 45 or 50 FV if he's near big league ready. Zach Davies-ish, maybe Nick Neidert
Eric
2:45
I know you don't want to comment on other teams rankings or reporting, but Baseball America's JJ Cooper said on the Braves podcast today that among their Top 10 prospects, Atlanta is pushing Cristian Pache in trade talks with other teams. Have you heard the same thing?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:46
I've heard a different name as the one they'd like to move if they have to move one
Andrew
2:47
Where does India fit in the Reds plans if Senzel is destined for 2B when Scooter leaves?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:48
I still laugh every time I get a question like this. The scenario you're scared of is your team who isn't very good right now has too many good players. Senzel, India and Suarez all fit best at 3B. Suarez won't get moved to another position. Senzel's next best spot is 2B, maybe CF. India is 2B, maybe RF.
John Farell

Junior Santos of the Mets had a great year in the DSL, and has a monster frame at 6'8". Is he a guy to know?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:49
He'll be a 40 FV. The 6'8 guys don't have a great track record of improving, having great command, staying healthy, etc. but they also can do the Jon Rauch/Chris Young thing and don't have to get that much better
Poised
2:50
Given foresight of the pro debut Grant Lavigne would have, would he have been a first rounder?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:50
Probably not, he's a maxed-out first baseman that went to a super hitter friendly league/stadium
2:51
I'd rather him hit than not, and being from New Hampshire there's some concern that he'll be overwhelmed early, so he moved up some, but not dramatically
