No, that's 3.1 Ignore the timestamps.
Dusty

Can you clarify something?  I was under the impression that if Atlanta fails to sign the #9 pick this year, that they would not receive a pick next year (since that pick was already compensation for Stewart from 2018).  From what I've read today, I may have been mistaken.  Do you know for sure what the rule is?
Keith Law
3:35
You are mistaken - Atlanta's pick for Stewart, Arizona's pick for McClain, and the Dodgers' pick for Ginn are all protected, so if they don't sign their picks this year, it rolls one more year. Next year's compensatory picks would be unprotected.
Jeff

What round range do you expect Zach Huffins, Dalton Rushing, Quin Cotton, & Gabe Holt. Thank you!
Keith Law
3:36
Holt in the third; Cotton in the 4th, Huffins maybe 5th-8th (elite runner, not that advanced otherwise), no intel on Rushing.
Dallas
3:36
Maybe Langeliers gets a boost from that performance, Garrett Richards was helped in his last college outing by striking out 18 guys after putting up a 5.00 era during regular season.
Keith Law
3:36
He wasn't, though. The Angels were already on him; it's not like he suddenly threw harder or had a new pitch.
Sean
3:36
Did you make it up to see Siani this year?  Draft position roughly where you had him ranked?
Keith Law
3:37
I saw him, but I don't think my ranking reflects where he'll go, since he could want more money than that.
Elliott
3:37
Who has the highest scouted tool in the draft? Vaughn's power?
Keith Law
3:37
Greg Jones' speed.
Andrew
3:37
Do you think Shewmake can stay at SS?
Keith Law
3:37
I do not.
Bob
3:37
Do you think Reds are in on H. Bishop or B. Stott ? Seem to prefer college hitters but not sure if they would value them over Lodolo/Manoah. Thanks
Keith Law
3:37
Neither.
Michael

What's the logic behind JUCO players being eligible right away and others having to play three years?
Keith Law
3:38
Protecting college baseball. Why MLB would protect college baseball is beyond me - we still have coaches overusing pitchers and trying to get prospects to matriculate early so they skip the draft.
Mas
3:38
Which is more accurate - Keith Law is the Mel Kiper of baseball, or is Mel Kiper the Keith Law of football?
Keith Law
3:38
It depends on which of us you think has better hair.
Chuck
3:38
I've heard comps to Alex Kirilloff fair for Riley Greene. Fair or not?
Keith Law
3:39
I do hear huge praise for Greene's hit tool.
Jeff
3:41
Keith - Any updates on players that could fall that LA could scoop up as they've done in the past (hopefully this time more Buehler than Kendall)?
Keith Law
3:41
This was a bit of why I think they're a fit for Misner ... huge tools, top ten type, who fell on some performance concerns that the Dodgers might think they can fix.
Fake Jeremy Sowers
3:41
What are you hearing on Drake Fellows? Top starter for Vanderbilt this year, but kind of an odd year (strong K rate, but 4.34 ERA).
Keith Law
3:42
I think he's a fourth-fifth rounder.
It's not huge stuff.
Kedelbro
3:42
Is Wilson to Twins the backup plan if Stott/Langeliers unavailable?
Keith Law
3:42
Yeah, I think that's about right.
Matt
3:42
What do you think is the ceiling for Greg Jones?
Keith Law
3:42
He's more likely a CF than a SS for me, and I really question the hit tool, but it is legitimately game-changing speed, like Billy Hamilton.
A
3:43
I don't understand what "chalk" means in the way you've been using it for the top of the draft. Help?
Keith Law
3:43
The predicted guys - nobody goes way off the board.
Cole
3:43
Where should this ASU student expect Alec Marsh to be picked this year?
Keith Law
3:43
Third to fourth round?
Less certain.
Jeff
3:43
Do you think only 4 players at the draft hurts the views and buildup at all? Would getting more players not still playing bring more buzz?
Keith Law
3:44
It would help to get more guys there, but the timing sucks for it, and at least one of the guys going to Secaucus isn't going in the first round and might not go at all tonight. That's not good.
MLBN is in a tough spot.
Jason
3:44
You have Carroll at #4 on your list, but you (and the other respectable mock drafters) all have him making it at least to the Braves at #9.  What do you see in him that puts him above several of the others in the seeming consensus top 6?
Keith Law
3:44
He's getting crushed for his height and I don't think it matters.
