What kind of player does Cole Tucker become? Is there enough power there for 15 HRS?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:06
Raw power yes, game power maybe

Hey Kiley, thanks for the depth of info on the Braves list. Questions on two guys who weren't listed -- any update on the status of Matt Rowland, and is he a guy worth watching? Also, surprised no mention of Braulio Vasquez. I'm obviously scouting the statline, but I've been intrigued by him. Is he too small to be a factor?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:08
Even with 65 guys mentioned I'm sure I'll get some questions about guys I didn't mention. It doesn't mean they all suck.

If Rowland is healthy then he's either on the list or close, some said Derek Lowe comps at draft time with power sinker/slider. Don't think he's thrown much since TJ, so he's a wait and see. Vasquez is a 2B that can play 3B and can run, some contact skills, bench future is likely upside but need to see a little more performance to get excited in a deep system. Both were in contention to be on the others list.

Who do you think is most at risk of being disappointed in next year's free agent market?  I'm not going to get Arietta'd am I?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Well I mean you aren't going to be one of the top two paid players, so there's always a chance you're waiting on them. Also your agent is Machado's agent last I checked so that might be a factor. Someone will sign much later or for much less or many fewer years but it's impossible to know now

If Madrigal gets to 3 would he be in the mix for the Phils? He should be a fast mover and Kingery, Crawford, Franco seems locked in as the future
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:10
Have to imagine he will be discussed in some depth at every pick in the top 10. Teams outside the top 10 still don't think he gets to them. The future is always changing man, always good to have another one. Franco and Crawford's stock specifically have gone up and down a good bit

What are your thoughts on Travis Swaggerty and his launch angle change and how much does it change his outlook in the upcoming draft?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:11
He's 8-12 overall right now, may even creep a little higher. Interested to see him in person.

What are your thoughts on Nick Madrigal’s power upside? My views on him at the plate see that when looking at his leg kick, he reaches with his front leg and there’s not a lot of weight transfer forward when doing so. That makes him very much a handsy hitter which limits his power upside some to me. Agree?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:12
I think his game power upside is a 50, which is amazing for a guy his size. Guys change swings all the time these days so I wouldn't get bogged down in the mechanics when a guy performs everywhere and has great feel/instincts.

Is Nick Madrigal the top position player in this year’s draft coming from college? How does he compare to Senzel, Bregman, etc from the past few years?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:14
A little behind them, but not by much. Madrigal, Swaggerty are top two, then the two kids at Wichita State, Larnach, Eierman, Conine are the next group. Could all go in the top 30

UK kid TJ Collett has been going off and believe leads the country in HR with 8. Being sophomore eligible, where does he go in the draft?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:17
70 raw, 1B/DH, contact is the only question. AJ Reed was kinda like that at the same school but Collett doesn't have near the track record or hit projection at this point. Probably 4th round with chance to move higher?

Any thoughts on Braves Shean Michel? Seems to have shown decently well in GCL and Appy League
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:17
Easy plus runner, good athlete, CF fit, swing isn't bad. If he keeps performing, he's a prospect.

Is Singer on the Strasburg level where we could see him up in late 2019?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:18
No, not in the top 5 anymore at this point, stuff is down. May not be the best pitcher on the UF staff right now.
DuPu

Tyler Pike: failed starter due to command issues. Would he play up in the bullpen? His K% has always been great.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:18
Don't think so, but is worth a try

More offensive upside: Trent Grisham or Ramon Laureano?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:19
Grisham

If you're the Padres, who do you keep in the majors and who do you send down to Triple-A between Hunter Renfroe and Franchy Cordero?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:20
Can they send both down?

Who has the better career - Bregman or Bellinger?

Bellinger

Your Austin Riley comment about him being able to handle right field stuck with me. Isn't this the most logical solution to the problems of finding a 3rd OF to pair with Acuna and Inciarte? Then deal Inciarte when Pache is ready.
