A couple int'l scouts have said Albert Almora and I tend to think that's about right

Have you ever suspected a player's age is not what's reported, and how would that suspicion affect your evaluation?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:22
There is one active player that's very widely believed to not be his age, and there's a couple somewhat recently retired ones. I would guess at least 50% of those handful are actually older. But all of them signed a while ago. Hasn't really been a concern for amateurs for a little while

I know the teams aren't finalized, but how does a team like the Yankees come in and swoop on an international prospect such as Vargas?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:23
Had a deal for 11.5 months from now b/c there wasn't money available to get what he wanted now...then NYY got the money he wanted now

Do you think changes over the past few years to limit the advantages of wealthy teams in the draft and in international signings will lead to more parity down the road at the MLB level?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:24
It's more favoring teams that are good at scouting, which are sometimes big market and sometimes not

Will Luke Heimlich get a minor league deal this offseason?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Seems like that ship has sailed

Is Victor Vodnik interesting at all?

Was a hot name last fall, looking kinda Trevor Bauer-ish 92-95, but was more 88-91 this spring and he's smaller

What changed in Camargo between his prospect days (where he basically wasn't considered much of one) to today where he's hammering the ball? Evaluators missed him and/or he made a series of adjustments to balloon up his tools?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:25
He got noticeably stronger right when he was getting his first MLB looks, exit velos went up, defense at SS went from average to above to below

Josh James - legit SP now or no?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Probably in that Touki/Abreu group of useful power arm, probably best fit is multi-inning relief rather than traditional starter

which leagues get the least amount of coverage from you and eric? seems like the NW league (and the texas league) both don't get many questions answered
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:26
At least for me, I get asked very few questions about those leagues

Is there any clear answer as to why the Padres chose Weathers over Liberatore?   He did not sign underslot, as many predicted.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:27
SD preferred Weathers. Preller has always been the type that can get locked onto players and ignore the industry opinion, which is usually a good thing.
