Should the Mariners consider changing their outlook to 2018 considering their rapidly increasing number of injured players? Either tank or sign a free agent (ALEX COBB, PLEASE!)

Um, have you seen what Jerry's been doing? They went for 2017, they're going for 2018, then they're gonna go for 2019

Trevor Larnach; how real is the power he's showing and how does his defense in the outfield project? Is his early season performance moving him into the teens on your rankings?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Fringy to average in RF. ~65 raw, hasn't lifted the ball a ton in the past and still can do it more but the ball explodes so some liners are getting out. Probably 15-22 right now, or so.

Do you think Nick Senzel has a chance to stick at SS in Cincinnati? Any reports on how he’s looked this spring?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:39
Well he can stick if they don't mind having a fringy defender for a couple years until he's below average

Please compare Brady Singer to pre-draft Aaron Nola.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:40
Peak Singer compares favorably, maybe a little less stuff, depends on the day. Current Singer is well behind.

On the player development side, how heavily are organizations using analytics in comparison to the scouting side?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:40
As much? Maybe more? Probably about the same.

How had Connor Scott looked so far this spring? He seems to have better run and throw tools than former teammate, Kyle Tucker, but how do his hit and power tools compare?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:41
Saw him yesterday. He's not getting past pick 15. It's Kyle Tucker with 70 speed and maybe a little less power. And he's 90-93 on the mound. I'll post a video on twitter after we're done here. The teams that were heavy at that game were all in the top 15.

This is probably a dumb question but with Bellingers speed why are the Dodgers saying they will keep him at first?  He seemed to play decently in the OF without much experience.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:42
He's really good defensively there. If Kris Bryant was a 70 defender at 1B and a 50 at 3B and the Cubs had no 1B and a good 3B, they'd probably do the same thing.

Hi, I watched Liberatore video by Eric and felt that he has different arm action (after his release) from pitch to pitch. Am I wrong or is it usual for high school pitchers?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:43
Haven't watched the video but that isn't super unusual. Usually it's with below average command guys, which Liberatore isn't really.

It's  March.  I get it.  But Wainwright is bringing the heat (90-92) again.... He's not an ace, but is he being overlooked after the Achilles disaster?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:45
Is he better than Luke Weaver, Alex Reyes and Jack Flaherty? I don't think he makes it through the year in the rotation.

Do front offices rely on some type of WAR stat, even if it's more sophisticated than what is publicly available?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:45
Generally speaking, yes.

The best places in the country to scout minor league talent are FLA and AZ I assume.....but where else?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:46
Lots of minor league teams in the Carolinas

I would trade 1000 of you for one of either Dave Cameron or Eno Sarris
AvatarKiley McDaniel

I have some questions about how you obtained 1000 of me

What's the outlook like for Dylan Moore? Had a rough year in '17 but had raked at every level before that.

Kiley I recently read your MLB draft rankings for the current and future draft classes. My question is does 2019 LHP Hunter Barco have the best chance to go 1/1 next year if healthy?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:52
Yes
Billy Beane

Reports out of Orlando are that Scout is really looking sluggish out there. You hearing anything different?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:53
She's having some difficulties today after eating an entire bag of treats when the dog sitter wasn't looking yesterday
Joe
12:53
When do the July 2 ranking s come out?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:53
A couple weeks before they sign? Don't have a date yet
