Seen him a few games so far this year, will see him more since he's 30 min from my place right now. Has made some offensive progress, is lifting the ball more but still has a ways to go. Still an 80 runner and 70 or 80 defender

How many more mocks do yall intend to put out before the 4th?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:37
Maybe 2 more? 2.5? Something like that

Is Kevin Smith impressing, beating up on younger competition, or some combination thereof?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:38
Toned down a swing that was too loud in college, still has some pop and bat control. Curious to see how long he can sustain it and/or I get to take a look if he gets promoted

Khris Davis is a pretty good comp for Tyler O'Neill, right?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:39
Good enough, think O'Neill is a better athlete, may be a little better hitter

Seuly Matias or Khalil Lee make it on a current Top 100 prospect list?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:39
Matias is close if he doesn't, Lee does not

What happened to Francis Martes? Has he completely forgot how to throw strikes?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:40
Heard his velo was down too, may need some time to put it all back together

Chris Paddack just keeps dealing. The same is not true for Quantrill and Baez. Should Padres fans be more excited about Paddack or more concerned about those other two?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:40
Paddack/Baez about the same, Quantrill below them

If a player isn't drafted out of highschool and opts for college is he required to stay in college for X number of years before being draft eligible?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:41
JC no, 4-year college it's 3 years or year when he's 21 within 45 days of the draft

Have you had a chance to see Jonathan Bowlan this year? Big righty from Memphis touched 95 for me, also had an 18 K game a few weeks ago. Where do you think he slots in if you have seen him?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:41
Heard 96 a couple weeks back and sounds like a solid 5th round or thereabouts power arm with a chance to start

I have the 1st pick in my Dynasty leagues rookie draft (4 days after Rule 4) who do I pick??
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:42
Probably Madrigal
Matt

Do you have any concern about Sixto Sanchez? Walk rate is up and K rate is down since moving to A+, both last season and this one.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:43
12:44
There are 100 reasons to not be worried. I was told he had an illness in spring training, was a little out of shape, rushed back trying to overthrow and in the last few weeks was getting right. No reason to be worried, he may even be a little better than what I saw
Anthony

Have you seen Adam Hill at South Carolina at all?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:45
Missed him by a day, sounds like he's given scouts very different looks this year, sometimes touching 95 and mowing thru lineups with his slider, other times sitting 88-92 and without the command to start. Thinking 3rd round or so

Which prep pitcher has more upside, Carter Stewart or Matthew Liberatore and why?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:46
You can project a 65 to 70 fastball and breaker for Stewart and Liberatore's top two pitches are a little behind that, but he has a little better feel to pitch. They are very close but would lean Stewart on upside.

Who are some names beyond what we've been mocked to that we have been connected to?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:46
We heard after the mock that Texas prep RHP Grayson Rodriguez will not get past your pick.

Could Meadows, with his hit tool and low strikeout rate, be one of those type of prospects that sees his power levels spike in the majors with the new ball and increase in homers at the MLB level?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:47
He's always had above average power, but has had injuries and swing adjustment mute the in-game power a bit. So it would be more teasing it out that finding it like the Altuve/Betts types have done.
Clay Aiken
12:47
Any chance my brother Brady Aiken ever finds his tantalizing stuff that made him the #1 overall pick at one point in time?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:47
Doesn't look like it
Anthony
12:48
What are the chances that Mack makes it to Clemson
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:48
I'm rooting for his return
NYTT

What does Allard have to do to be a #3 going forward? Show more velocity?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:49
There's guys that put up 3 WAR (roughly a #3 starter) with solid average stuff and plus command. It's obviously possible, just may not bet on that specific outcome. I bet he gets close at least once in his career, though.

Think Hankins slides to the comp rounds? How much will a team need to overslot him to get him to forgo Vandy?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:50
Hearing he won't be a tough sign. Sounds like he'll go 20-45 range, prep righties are always tough to pin, particularly when there's a bunch that are hard to separate.

How does Madrigal's profile change if he's moved to SS? Does his arm play there?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:51
It should be fine, it's more tools than Eckstein and he made it work, Madrigal has comparable feel for the game, he just isn't a platonic ideal there.
