I have made an offer than was accepted, so now the inspection and all that stuff happens

Greatest outlook so far between Faedo, Manning, and Burrows?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Manning

should milb coaching staffs start preaching a “less velo, more control” approach.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:56
No, I tend to think command is somewhat innate, or the pitcher comes about it on his own. I may say take more low bonus control types with clean arm strokes and try to get them to throw harder
But I generally don't subscribe to one size fits all when it comes to scouting or development
12:57
I find it's usually used to hide a deficiency. I didn't mess up, this guy doesn't fit the profile, etc.

Deivi Garcia's ceiling was a back end starter or relief pitcher due to his size. Now he got promoted to double A  and dominated on his debut. will he be in the big leagues next year?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:58
He's a tough one. Still seems reliever-y to me given the size and FB-CB focus in his approach. Another prospect that fits best in that multi inning role since he can turn over a lineup but maybe not twice

Do you like prospects? Baseball prospects to be clear?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:58
You could say I like them, yes.
This better be going somewhere, counselor

A few years ago, Nomar Mazara was essentially unknown as the minor league season ended, but then blew up later in that same offseason (I guess stats/scouting reports got noticed). Anyone like that that you can think of this year?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
12:59
Well he got the highest bonus in his J2 class, so he was pretty famous to scouts as a 15 year old. But, to further help explain prospect trajectory, we're working on a project for just this purpose

Why does a team like the astros bring up lower rated prospects such as josh james when they have Bukauskas and Corbin Martin available?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:00
One factor is they probably don't care about Josh James' 7th year of service
Ozzie Ozzie Albies Free

Just curious, what was the internal discussion like when deciding to have THE BOARD always stylized in all caps?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

IT JUST KIND OF HAPPENED

Is Yunior Severino a prospect you think can take off in 2019?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:01
Always been a fan, enormous bat speed guys often take a little longer like the tall pitchers, so patience will likely pay off here

If you had to choose one hitting prospect for an Ottoneu style league, who would you want: Jonathan India or Adley Rutchsman?

I'm having a truly awful day at work, tell me something, anything about the Red Sox farm system to just make my day.

None of them are embroiled in ForniteGate, although the story is developing

Do some players have higher "game power" than "raw power" or does that go against the definitions of the terms?  I'm thinking of guys like Jose Ramirez or Hank Aaron who might hit a lot of homers without hitting a ton of moon-shots.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:04
plus or plus plus bat control would be the way to do this. essentially tapping into the power to the part of the park you can hit it out of at a high frequency. Albies is another.
mlb

how many current 80 value players are there in the bigs?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:05
The general scouts' definition is 1-3 at each position. If you define it as 6+ WAR true talent, then it's like 0-5 at each position. Maybe 10-12?
Justin

Do any scouts ever use the iPhone slow motion video feature for mechanics? Or are they good enough and/or stubborn enough to analyze mechanics in real time?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:07
Some do. There's some very high level scouts that are really into mechanics. They're always fun to talk to
It's a good analog for overall curiosity

Thanks for the reply.  I'm 6'5 and 200lbs and suffer from what my dad calls "Noassatall" disease.  I find it nearly impossible to gain weight, which was frustrating in high school but a boon in adulthood.  Truck estimate would've been dead on for me.

So are you now higher on Bryse Wilson or think he'll be higher up on the next version of the list based on your article this morning?
AvatarKiley McDaniel

He'll be a 50 FV on the update

Is it possible to game the waiver trade system using PTBNL? Can a team include a "PTBNL" as part of the return for a waiver trade because they know the intended player would not pass through waivers ?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
1:10
Yeah that's the idea, name the player after the season when they don't have to clear waivers
