55%, more setup type since secondary lags a bit

What happens with the IFA agreements if MLB implements a draft?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:03
they dissolve
unlikely anything gets collectively bargained for 2020 or 2021, which is where most of the deals are
1:04
maybe a dozen deals done in 2022 and both sides know those could blow up
1:05
it's happened before. Wander Franco had a tentative deal before hard pools were added in the CBA, so that deal blew up.

Unrelated to baseball and not even a question, but recently I've started ending all conversations with my daughter, no matter the topic, by saying, "When in Rome..."     It earns some of the biggest eye rolls from her and my wife and I just wanted to share that because now I know I've arrived as a Dad.

So reading your explanation on Bryant, does this mean Betts would be cheaper to acquire?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:06
that's probably more a product of motivation to move him, but yeah, it's 2 years of roughly 4 WAR versus 1 year of roughly 6 WAR, paid at a similar rate, so Bryant offers more value
some teams may see it differently, depending on their situation
1:07
and if one team is asking for way more (again, market forces), the extra wins with Bryant could be too costly in prospects

Obviously it's early, but does Jasson Dominguez have the *potential* to be a better prospect than Vlad/Wander/Acuna?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:08
yes, he could be on that level

Best case scenario (95%+) for Brennen Davis = Andrew McCutchen?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:09
Sure, he may be that good 1 out of 20 times

Who's got an 80 name in the 20202 draft?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

we don't go that far into the future

558 names on the 2020 Board, thanks for the hard work! Might want to add Cole Percival and make it 559.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:10
didn't realize he wasn't on there, he definitely should be, thanks
(that's Troy Percival's kid btw)
Joe Maddon

any thoughts on the Maddon hire

seems like a good move for LAA at this stage of needed to wring wins out of talent

Any word on how I'm overhauling my scouting department?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:12
haven't heard much in terms of firing, more moving people around, shifting responsibility

seth beer acquisition was a little strange withe c walker cheap and controllable. Do you take that the dbacks aren’t that high on walker and beer has an opportunity sooner than one might think?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:14
with the Gallen/Jazz swap, I think it's clear they think they can compete soon and want pieces with a shorter-term return, which is what Beer is
can't have too many good players, and those two may be platoon partners, it's not like one precludes the other

Have heard very good things on 2020 infielder Michael Brooks from local area scouts. Seen him 15-20 times in HS and recently the last month. Area guys here think he’s underrated. Your thoughts?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:18
contact-oriented MI. if guys think he's a 6 bat, he'll go good, we're a little dubious there's impact tools/strength, but those things can develop. this sort of guy usually goes to college and if he performs can go top 30-50 picks
