some 18+ year old kids sign for this year since they aren't likely to matter in terms of the Rule 5

and sometime the DSL clubs need extra players, usually lower bonus types

12:58

but sometimes they end up being guys, like Braves/now Orioles IF JC Encarnacion was an 18-year-old DSL fill-in for I think $10k?

Every report I've read says Dominguez is maxed out physically. Do you think that limits his ceiling compared to someone like Pauson who sounds much more projectible?

Kiley McDaniel

He is, here's our video of him:

projection means he'll get bigger/stronger and Dominguez is already stronger than most of the kids in the J2 class will ever be, so wouldn't a lack of projection be more of a positive, since there's fewer unknowns?

1:00

if it's a 6'5/240 corner outfielder that isn't athletic, then sure, lack of projection is bad, but Dominguez is already a 70 or 80 runner, so he could slow down and still have more raw power/speed than almost anyone in the class 5-7 years from now

Would it be possible for FanGraphs to include on player pages not just your current FV grade, but a history of your FV grades over time? That way we could see, in one place, what direction their projection has trended. Thanks for chatting!

it is actually on THE BOARD. just click on the FV to see the historic FVs

Just thinking the other day that your podcast isn't really an untitled McDongenhagen project anymore, since it has a name. So I would propose:

The Heretofore Untitled McDongenhagen Project, or the HUMP for short. You're welcome

hmmmm

Hugh Fisher

If Hugh Fisher stays in the bullpen at Vanderbilt is there any chance he still goes in the first round? It seems strange he's considered so high in the draft considering he's never really been stretched out

Kiley McDaniel

I think so, but back half of the first round. Would guess Vandy's 4 starters (weekend, mid-week) this year are Kumar, Leiter, Hickman, Fisher in some order
