Will you guys expand draft reports to the rest of your list? That would be awesome !
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:25
Yep and more players

What's your long term outlook on Ryan Rolison in the upcoming draft? Four pitch lefty with good decent control and can hit mid 90's. Seems similar to the Liberatore "whole is more than the sum of the parts".
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:26
Except Rolison isn't projectable, needs to change his delivery some, needs better fastball command and needs to throw his changeup more/curveball less and didn't perform that well in the SEC. Could go as high as 11, but probably more in the 20's

Prospect list is great. Could you put in individual grades (fastball, curve, power, hit, run) or would that be too much work?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Click on the SCOUTING tab at the top, it's all there and it's wonderful

There's a fair amount of "Larnach to Seattle" talk being spun around in the echo chamber.  Do you think this very likely, or do you think they'll stump for a high upside pitcher with the first pick?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:28
Wouldn't bet on Larnach there

Any chance you think the White Sox will take Swaggerty to save money on 2nd and 3rd round picks?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:28
Possible, unlikely

Be honest, Kiley, how many secret twitter accounts do you have to criticize David Appelman and Eric Longenhagen?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

fine, I also run @realskipbayless

The most highly rated prospects in the draft are on your board as mid-30s in the top 100.  I can't recall from past years, but it seems like previously the top couple picks were floating around in the 10-25 area.  Am I remembering right and if so is this a sign that it's a particularly weak draft?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:29
Something like that, yes

Can you explain how Singer was assigned a "low" on variance?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:30
He has a low variance among his possible outcomes. He'll almost certainly be in an MLB rotation pretty quickly and he wont' be an ace. In the draft, the gap between 3rd starter and 5th starter is really small when some guys have a real chance of not getting out of A-Ball.

Any idea where Siani/Decker/Torres will be drafted. Seems like all 2nd round?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:31
Sounds like Siani is going to school if he doesn't go 25-40. Decker probably 30-55, Torres like 15-35
Hank

Denaburg, Seigler and Connor Scott -- will I be able to watch any of them at UF?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:31
Wouldn't count on it

Why are the Mets so damn conservative with prospects? Alonso and McNeil still in AA, Peterson and Kay still in A ball, etc.

Please tell me the South Siders aren't in on Heimlich.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:34
We know a few teams that are, the majority are not and never considered it.
Billy Beane

When you worked for the Braves did you enjoy draft day or was it more of a slog? I have to imagine it's somewhat exciting, but also a metric F*** ton of work.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:35
More fun since the work was over and now you get to open your presents. Most of the prep was fun, but got tedious at times.

Saw a report that had Kyler Murray's arm at a 40 grade. Certainly doesn't look good for an aspiring QB. What're the odds a team with a big bonus pool grabs him & how much $$$ would it take?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:36
Sounds like $4-5 million, if there even is a number. Arm is below right now but the arm action can be cleaned up to be more baseball like and there's some zip in there so it'll likely be average to above eventually.

Do you think Cole WIlcox will go to Georgia? And thoughts on Will Holland? could he be a top 3 round pick?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:36
No and I'd guess yes
