Jahmai Jones ceiling  = Mookie Betts?

Nope

Hey Kiley, any teams in particular that you think are going to have an excellent IFA signing period, coming up?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:40
I like the headliners for the Giants (SS Marco Luciano) and Dodgers (C Diego Cartaya) so I'd say them so far.

I really like what I have seen of both Luis Medina & Deivi Garcia.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:41
Medina is great super high variance guy that's also fun to watch throw hard with a good breaker
Kyle Schwarber
12:41
I'm a Cubs fan. There's a rivalry brewing in the city with the Sox and their rebuilding plan. How worried should I be of Robert becoming a Superstar? Is that his ceiling?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:41
You're really stretching to worry about a guy that hasn't played above the DSL when you just won a title and your rival is terrible.

Was Jefry Ramos given consideration for your Braves list?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:42
Yeah he was in the mix, plus raw power, LF fit, some contact issues. Not an enormous upside given the profile, so need to see him make contact at a higher level.

Can Gavin Sheets hit enough for a 1b prospect?  His stat line (I know) was disappointing for a college bat.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:43
I'm the low guy on Sheets, so I'd lean no but it's big raw

What makes baseball fun for you?

interacting with the readers just kidding

Are the Brewers linked to any top July 2 guys?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:45
A number of them, actually. I think I have them with 5 guys so far. Eduardo Garcia SS VZ is really young and I liked him at the MLB showcase, Branlyn Jaraba is 3B from Colombia that I liked a good bit as well

If Alec Bohm continues his current production would he be a top 10 lock and could he and Jenista both go top ten?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:45
There's a chance they both go top 10, but not a big chance. Probably both 10-20 right now.

Will Alex verdugo grow into more power, and, if not, isn't he a bit overrated?  Below average speed and range and average arm mean that good contact alone will make him an average MLB regular, no?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:46
60 bat, 50 raw power, 50 defense, 60 arm
Hannah Hochevar

Even if they suck, the O's will hold onto Machado out of stubbornness, right? Also, did you know stubbornness had two n's in it?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:47
I did not and I think they'll move him at least by the deadline if they're out of it. But they've probably already held him too long.
May be a bit of moral hazard and/or short sighted owner as well

Diamondbacks traded Drury for Souza Jr. giving them a lackluster second baseman.  Until this the D-Backs felt a great need to get a starting OF.  Why is it that not a single person put any faith into the production of Jeremey Hazelbaker? His numbers through the year with his limited playing time have been very solid.
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Feel like your name is a clue here

Hans Crouse: future ace? Delivery is suspect but his command was fine in the AZL and his stuff is almost unmatched.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:48
It is not unmatched, you have to worry about the delivery/command/health and there's a tiny tiny chance he's an ace I would say almost zero. I mean name an ace that's ever thrown like that or is named Hans
Greg

As a reds fan I'm getting nervous that the rebuild is failing. Can I get the chat equivalent of a hug ?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:49
Guys, let all gather around Greg

Quit being weird this is a group hug

Has McClanahan overtaken Brady Singer as the top college pitcher in the draft?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:49
Yes, for now
dave

Any other Danville/GCL Braves pitchers to watch out for? Odalvi Javier, Zach Becherer, Kelvin Rodriguez, Albinson Volquez?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:50
Javier was a late cut, averageish stuff. Becherer could see the velo jump this year, keep an eye on him
GSon

The Indians picks # 29, # 34 and # 40, overall. Will they be able to get any of the following:

Pat DeMarco seems pretty good early on. Could he make some noise as a DE Soph?
