They're both 40 FVs so I guess I wouldn't?

Is Jean Carlos Encarnacion a legitimate prospect? Hear anything new about him this year?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:59
Moving up toward the top of the 40's, still would like to see more walks but we touted the loud tools before the season and he's performing. Eric and I reviewed the ATL system last night and it's sorta weird to have so many 50+ guys, post-Acuna no one in the top 20 overall and then only a couple 45s before a lot of 40s, mostly injured guys and guys with bad seasons.

Did the Royals farm system improve significantly after this draft?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

I would say yes and Heynong Man

Daniel Lynch’s stock rose a lot right before the draft. Do you have a brief scouting report on him?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:00
I even have a longer one

scroll down to #23 and click on report and/or video

Do you have any prospects that you a personal affinity for? I'm sure you are rooting for all of them, but do any really speak to your soul, Kiley?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:02
Feel like I root for the literally little guys and the non-hyped amateurs that break through in pro ball but don't have the pedigree of the famous ones.

Have you heard much about Luis Patino for the Padres? He has thrown pretty well for an 18 yr old in full season A ball.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:02
Heard some positive preseason buzz that got him on the Padres list, appears to be legit. Not huge but into the upper-90's, above to plus breaker at times

The Astros trade "Franklin Perez" to the Tigers where he proceeds to be "injured" for months, now a report comes out that the Astros are linked to a "Cuban" "OF" named "Frank Perez" I'm not buying it.

CONSPIRACY ALERT
Mike

Kiley, are you more of a believer in Trent Deveaux or Kristian Robinson? And why?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:03
Robinson. I haven't seen either but Eric has and he's very in on Robinson.

Small Sample size in terms of stats, but how has Kevin Maitan's swing been looking in play?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:04
Last I saw when Eric sent me some video of it a few weeks ago, it looked really bad. So here's to hoping that gets fixed.
Mike

Which Braves prospect that hasn't reached the big leagues this year has helped their stock the most?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:05
Drew Waters is getting raves from many scouts
RyRy
1:05
I was very intrigued by Freddy Tarnok
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:05
He's also moved up some, but is still raw
Jaime

What is fangraphs doing to be more diverse? There's too many straight, white males writing on this site...
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:06
In baseball and sports in general, really. I know we've made two recent hires (last 6 months) that don't fit that description and a couple residencies did as well. We're making progress.
1:07
I would add that I'm proud that we're making that progress, particularly when many others are not.

Do minor leaguers opt for month to month leases? I’m assuming that’s the only way to operate in case of promotions, trades etc
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:07
Yeah and usually with 3-4 to an apartment so a promotion is less of a problem, new guy just takes the old one's spot, etc.

Bringing Touki up to Atlanta to pitch out of the bullpen in the second half. Good or bad idea?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:08
I think it's worth a shot. Worst case he gets shelled and you send him down until he hits his IP limit with new motivation
Jay
1:08
Chris Paddack is absolutely bonkers. 9Ks in 4 IP last night before pitch limit. Is he heading for a promotion soon to San Antonio?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:08
He has been very good. Would assume so, but who knows
Wig

Would you trade Vlady JR for Albies?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:09
I am working on the trade value series right now, about to send a version of it out to some execs. Currently, Vlad Jr. is slightly above Albies.
Larry
1:09
Mason Denaburg have any shot at making it to UF?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:09
Another rumored one. There's some shot but I'd guess he signs.
Larry
1:09
Will Michael Byrne sign with Cincinnati or return for his senior year?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:10
The buzz at draft time is he would go back to school and go into the rotation, hope to do a Griffin Roberts and create more value for himself
