What do you think about Huascar Ynoa's progress this year?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:10
Heard the stuff is still 55-60 across the board, still some RP risk

Why haven't the Orioles traded Manny yet?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:10
I'm not gonna try to predict this given how it's gone so far
JH
1:10
Why would any highly-coveted July 2 prospect sign with the Mariners given their recent track record of trading absolutely everybody?  Have you heard anything about the trading spree affecting their international signing efforts?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:11
Well their money is the same as everyone else's and sometimes they offer the most of it
John S

any chance Xavier Edwards sticks at SS? if not SS, is he off the dirt?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:12
We projected 2B pre-draft. He'll be at least average there or CF, probably at least fill-in quality at SS.

Are the Mets going to make Kelenic and Mauricio start in Brooklyn next year to boost ticket sales?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:12
Man I hope the Mets don't make decisions like that
Greg
1:12
Do you classify this year as a success so far for Cristian Pache?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:12
Yes, he's made progress, even if it hasn't been as much as some hoped for.

Kiley - how in the world hasn't Shane Bieber gotten the love he deserves? All time minor leaguer leader in BB/9 (min 100 minor league innings, since 2006) by a wide margin. Solid K/9 numbers.

#64!

Does Jeisson Rosario and Tirso Ornelas have a chance to make the top 100 list next year?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:13
Yes, Ornelas over Rosario

Who are your top candidates for the “next Juan Soto”? I.e. top 100 guy (or deeper) that works his way into fantasy top 5 consideration by 2019?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:14
I would not expect that to keep happening https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/juan-soto-is-the-fastest-to-majors-sin...

The Yankees oughta gove their farm director a raise.
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Actually Derek Jeter gave him a raise

Great chats.  There are a number of exciting young arms.  Wondering, what are your thoughts on their future.  Which one has the best chance to be an ace.  Shane Bieber, Jonathan Loaisigia, Jamie Barria, or Fernando Romero?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:18
Eh, insanely low chance any is an ace. I would rank them Bieber, Lasagna, Romero, Barria

Hey Kiley, as always thanks for the chat.  Can you speak a little bit about the struggles of Jorge Guzman.  Is it just a case of coming back from an injury?  I was expecting big things from him as a 22 year old flame thrower in A+ after putting up video game numbers the year before.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:19
He's still hitting 101, but the offspeed has regressed a bit to more fringy and guys can hit that at this level.

Any reason to be concerned about Shane McClanahan signing? Just him and the Rays going back and forth about where in the 2.4-3 range he goes? What about Kerry Wright and his Louisville commitment?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:19
Would assume McClanahan signs. Heard Wright's number was close to $1 million so wouldn't expect that.

When will the board show newly drafted prospects?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:19
It will!

Kiley - do you guys still have a 45/45 grade on Bo Bichette as a runner? Is he just taking advantage of minor league catchers?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:20
He's never been a big runner, maybe average for some people at times.
Ryan

Have you gotten any reports on Matt Sauer yet? He's had two good starts, but I am wondering what you and your colleagues have seen. Thanks.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:21
90-93 with not great command and a little less head whack than before
Matt

What are the top names to see on the Cape this year?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:21
Toglia may be the top one that isn't going to team USA

GOOD DECISION

Do scouts get invited to player's family gatherings like their kid's birthday party?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:22
They often do, but not every player they've signed
Chuncey Wiggins
1:22
Do scouts announce their presence when they go another team's game, or do they sneak in and try to keep a low profile?
