Okay I'm here now, sorry for the delay!

Had an errand run too late then a dog demanding some cleanup

I haven't seen much progress from Folty over the last couple years.  I suppose right now he could be seen as a #4/5 starter, but do you think it might be best at this point to move him to the bullpen?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:22
That's kinda the question with Folty. He's either 8th/9th inning guy or 4th starter as currently constituted. If he can unlock everything, then it's more of a 3rd starter, maybe a 2. Kinda depends on the patience of the team when/if you move him to the pen. Braves may have less patience as he gets more expensive and younger arms could pass him

What are your thoughts on Jose Soriano?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:23
Intriguing lottery ticket arm, chance to start, shows some above average pitches and feel. Could take off, could just be a guy that only shows glimpses. We'll see!

Thoughts on Taylor Guerrieri? I liked the move for the Jays. Is there still upside in him?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:23
If he's healthy, has always been good. Some thought he'd be better than that and he probably won't be. Offspeed better than the sinker, for me.

Vlad Guerrero Jr and Bo Bichette are obviously going to the Hall of Fame but how good will Logan Warmoth be?

What do you think about Brent Rooker? Crushed high A last year and sounds like the Twins are high on him. Starts in AA with a chance at a post ASB call up if he performs?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:24
Like him, always kinda worried about how much contact he'd make since I think he's always gotten to the power. Especially given age, he'll have to mash and he has. The best reasonable scenario is that, yes.

I've seen the job title video scout for several teams recently. What does a video scout do? Scout videos recorded by others or are they the ones recording the video? If they aren't the ones recording the video, who is recording the videos for the international video scouts?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:26
I think it's a little different for every team and that title man include a couple different roles. Could be the guy setting up the camera at the game or could be the guy in the office that breaks down the video from a scouting perspective that the other guy takes. I think some people do both roles.

Alec Bohm has virtually half of his HR output in 1/5 the games so far this season...is he going to find himself on some teams T10 if they need that 3B bat?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:26
He's moving up. Probably 10-15 right now, but can't rule that out.

Why isn't the rolling contract a more common thing in Baseball? 1 year guarantee, with mutual option for next year on a perpetual basis? Perhaps with options tied to performance? Generate 3+WAR? no team option. Generate <2WAR? no player option. Seems like short-term contracts are the best deal for players (high-AAV) and teams (low-risk). (See - Beltran / Ortiz)
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:27
Can't make incentives based on performance. That's why there aren't HR incentives, it's always PA or IP or games finished. Also, the player could negotiate that deal in many cases. Agents will say well I could get you an extra year. If you're getting a one year deal with a renew option of some sort every year, then what is the agent really doing

Think Gore will be or has chance to be top sp prospect by yr end?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:27
Possible
Big Jim

Any chance Madrigal or Swaggerty make it to Toronto at pick 12? If not, who's the next best college bat available?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:28
Madrigal probably not, Swaggerty slightly higher odds also probably not
12:29
Next best is up for debate. Probably Bohm, but cases to be made for Jenista, Larnach, Conine, Eierman. I think I'd have them in that order, from like 11-25 overall roughly.

How much upside do you think Sheldon Neuse has?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:29
Eventually being the subject of the TV show "The Other Young Sheldon"

More of Carson's guy:  but did you see Astudillo's pick-off?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:30
This was v dope

Thoughts on the Marlins farm system? Outside of Brinson, do you see much upside currently?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:30
Mostly the guys they acquired in the last six months are too much upside and not enough certainty, tbh. Of the holdovers, not a ton of upside.
Bernie
12:30
Which 1b prospect do you like best: Bobby Bradley, Evan White or Brent Rooker?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
This is the answer to many unpublished chat questions, as well

How would you rank these lower level hitters in terms of upside:

3B Oneil Cruz
OF Drew Waters
C Connor Wong
SS Anderson Tejeda
OF Wadye Ynfante
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:32
2, 1, 3, 4, 5
GRUMPY TURNER
12:33
And sweet summer child, how would you rank (in your preternatural wisdom), these lower level arms:

SP Jose Soriano
SP Tobias Myers
SP Edward Cabrera
SP Freddy Tarnok
SP Caden Lemons
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:33
Probably that order
Cornelius

What is Lucius Fox's ceiling in terms of his offensive upside? Is Ozzie Albies a reasonable comp for ceiling?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:36
Nope! Albies is 6 months older, far more offensive potential and has succeeded multiple levels higher. With Fox, You're hoping for 50-55 hit and 40-45 power with speed.
Happy

Toss up! Grapefruit league or Cactus league?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Cactus. Less driving, less humidity
