Who is the bottom guy that's dropped from the top 100 due to performance?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:06
Haven't decided that yet, but Ragans will fall off due to TJ. The rest of the list is ON NOTICE

Is this a driving trip or flying?

Driving this one

How high are you on Taylor Trammel? I've seen a few folks list him as the Acuna type not for talent but as the guy who rockets into the top 10-15 in the prospect ranks by years end
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:08
We gotta cool it with the Acuna/Trout comparisons, guys. If there were 20 versions of each of them, then they'd be so ordinary we wouldn't use them as comps. Some players MIGHT turn into it one day, in a perfect world, some players have a tool or two like them, or have mannerisms/frames like them. Let's try to keep these things separate.

Where does India rank in June if he keeps hitting like this through Draft Day?  Also, would anybody draft him to play SS?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:10
Probably stays in the 20s, but I guess could sneak into the late teens if a numbers teams goes gaga. He's fringy there for me, so even if an OAK/TB type club gave it a shot I'm not even sure they'd be okay with it, but he catches the ball and has enough arm.

Top 3 pitching prospects in the Big 10 for this years draft?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:10
Ryan Feltner at Ohio State is the only top 5 round guy coming to mind. Tanner Andrews at Purdue is a nice senior sign in the mid 90s.

Is there any chance Isabel hits enough to tap into that 70-power for the Reds?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:12
It's 80 raw and probably not

What is the concern level in bart’s swing and miss? Is he a .230-.240 hitter or could he be .270-280?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:13
That's the concern. Most say 45 bat
Fonz

Seriously though, where would Sean Hjelle have been ranked if Cistulli hadn't accidentally cut his entry in editing?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:13
That's the guy we're lower on than most. 89-91, fringy offspeed, average command, above control, it's all plane and moxie. Late 2nd-3rd for us but I bet someone takes him 25-50.

Compare and Contrast: Jordan Groshans and Carter Kieboom
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:14
Similar guys, Kieboom had a better hit tool at draft time, Groshans may be a little more athletic

A lot has been said about the Yankees' ability to get increased velocity out of minor leaguers. Far less has been said about *how* they do it. Any inside insight? Surely if it's just identification and development, then the Yanks know something most other teams don't.

Can Vandy fans get their hopes up about Hankins coming to Nashville? Do any of the top guys have a chance to not sign?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:16
He's signing. Get your hopes up about Rocker and Banfield, there's a chance on those.

Do draft rumors play into your rankings (Swaggerty(?)) at all?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:16
Nah, just on talent. Mock is for rumors
Larry

You seem a bit high on Alek Thomas.  Good feel to hit but avg tools across the board and limited upside
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:16
Tell that to the teams in the late 20s that are hot after him
1:17
But thanks for your super reasoned opinion where you read a sentence and invalidated all of our work

Please.....anyone....someone.....talk to me about Mac Williamson.

Dick Williams was recently asked about a one-team DSL strategy and he said it "frees us up to do a lot more in terms of trying out players – it frees up a field, it frees up bedrooms, to get more players in there for extended looks to get proprietary looks at them. From a scouting perspective there’s a benefit to having just the one team."  Care to comment?

When does the buy/sell round begin?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:22
Oh yeah, we were supposed to do that today! I want to BUY and SELL concepts. Sigh, next week.

My wife thinks Miguel Andujar is pretty. Like if baseball doesn't work out, he could be a male model. That's what she says at least. Something about the bone structure of his face. Shape of his eyes. And of course his high butt.

oooh we're getting to that time
