Does CJ abrams sign with his drafted team or go to Alabama?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:23
Chance of not signing seems very remote

Thoughts on Massey from Illinois?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:24
Solid middle infielder with a wide base of tools. Fits the TBR style of player to a T. The day Eric and I saw Massey in Arizona, TB had a high level scout there, which made me chuckle.

I know it's a year away but was really impressed watching 2020 LHP Reid Detmers pitch. His fastball is sneaky good possibly due to deception, and the curve is just nasty. Without the benefit of a radar gun how hard does he actually throw, cause he seems to generate a lot of swings and misses on the heater despite what I heard is not premium velocity?

Saw him at Clemson at few weeks ago, was 89-92, 55 CB, flashed a 50 CH but had some trouble with it. 50 to 55 CMD, good deception, Logan Davidson hit his worst mistake of the day about 9000 feet.
Likely a 1st rounder in 2020

Why do you and Keith Law hate the Blue Jays farm

We just had a meeting about this
You
You're the reason why

This James Beard JUCO kid from MS, super fast, know anything more about him?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:28
Literally off-the-scale runner but for some scouts he's so raw at the plate that they wouldn't draft him
I'm sure someone will take a chance

With Carter Stewart looking bad, should Braves fans view him not signing as a good or bad thing? Also, any idea who Atlanta would've taken if it wasn't him? I remembered them tied to Gorman a lot.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:29
I think it would've been Gorman

No mention of Tanner Myatt in your Yankees write-up. Too many walks but off to a good start and is supposed to have a high 90s fastball. What do you think of him and can he stay a SP?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:29
Was definitely on the radar, will probably be on the writeup this winter with a healthy season

It looks like initial grades for Luis Robert were low. I saw him hit a ball dead center over the second wall at WS. How far is that? And his stand up triple coasting into third took about 10.5 seconds. Are you evaluaters as excited as us Sox fans?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:30
We put him in the top 35 prospects in baseball when he hadn't played a pro game yet. Feel like that's pretty optimistic.
Many top 5 overall picks never get that high on the top 100

Saw that you were in to see Greg Jones... How was he?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:31
Just a couple ABs and the swing mechanics weren't where I wanted them to be but the athleticism is still goofy
Matt
2:31
Are you guys going to do anymore MLB scouting reports like you did with Kluber to illustrate what the numbers are for guys who have made it? I really enjoyed that but I could see how it may be too time consuming with everything else you're doing.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:31
Oh we are indeed
Mike

What are you hearing about Cole Wilcox this year?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:31
95-99 touching 100
Nicholas
2:32
You said Detmers was 89-92 w/ a 55 CB, flashing 50 CH and 50-55 CMD. that's a first round profile?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:32
For a lefty with numbers and health, yes

Which Game of Thrones character shows the best combo of RawPower and Speed future value?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:35
Hmmm the mountain and his bro are the power guys...apparently Gendry is fast? I think Euron may be the combine champion on the show? The dude from Dorn that the mountain killed may be a sneaky athlete. Jaime Lannister with both hands is probably in the mix, maybe the guy Dany left behind to manage Slaver's Bay
obviously the dragons if we're talking non humans
Night King appears to have some real arm strength from that javelin throw
2:36
I'd be interested to see how many reps of 225 Brienne of Tarth could throw up
Maybe the faceless men could take on the appearance of peak vernon davis?
Cooper

I don't watch the show. Are there multiple thrones being gamed? That's not the impression I get from friends' conversations. Seems like a strangely inapt title.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
2:37
it is a widespread game for one throne until the episode that m night shyamalan directs
