HI everyone. Busy day of games and writing ahead for me so apologies if I cut things short.
Hunt
12:02
What kind of upside do you see in Akil Baddoo?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:02
Chance to be an above-average everyday player
Bullpen Cart
12:02
Bullpen Cart vs pitching prospect in a race to the mound.  Which player you picking?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:02
Gose
McNulty
12:02
Why is Kyle Cody so underrated? He's got plus stuff and carried his team to a Carolina League championship this year
Eric A Longenhagen
12:03
Questions about medicals and mental makeup. Stock is definitely up but there's a reason MIN didn't sign him as a second rounder a few years ago.

Is Dylan Cease better than or as advertised? I think we all knew he had a good FB and Curve with command issues and that's what we're seeing.
Eric A Longenhagen
12:03
Has always been 70 fastball, 5 curve, potential 5 change for me. 50/50 if he's a starter.

Hi Eric. Thanks for chatting. Whom among the Padres 2016 J2 signees do you believe is poised to breakout this year?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:04
Arias
Marlo
12:04
What is the ceiling for Amed Rosario?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:04
4 WAR guy if he fixes his in-the-box footwork
Kiner's Disembodied Hands
12:05
Have you heard anything on the Pirate's Fabricio Macias?  It's sometimes difficult to find decent scouting reports on international signees.
Eric A Longenhagen
12:07
Undersized OF prospect with some bat to ball skills
Delmon Young
12:07
If Franco plays well, where are they going to realistically find room for Kingery? Crawford? I don’t see Hernandez sitting.
Eric A Longenhagen
12:08
Kingery starts moving around to other positions which gives PHI a good excuse to screw with his service time.
Vyse
12:08
If there Brewers don't end up signing another SP could we see Corbin Burnes in the majors to start the year?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:09
Doubt it. He's not even on the 40-man. Anderson, Chacin, Gallardo, Guerra, Houser, Davies, Suter, Nelson, Woodruff....it isn't like the big club doesn't have arms with starting experience
Jack

What is the typical development timeline for high school prospects drafted in the first round?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:10
First pro summer in AZL, advanced ones go to full-season ball for their first full pro calendar season, raw ones or kids with an innings limit stay in extended and go to advanced rookie affiliate, maybe finish August in full-season ball.
Julian

Believe in Duggar?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:10
Yes

Yairo (pronounced Jairo?) Munoz has been having a great Spring. The Cardinals also have some questions and health issues across 2B-3B-SS. If any of Wong or Gyorko were hurt, does Munoz have the defensive capabilities to replace either of them at their respective positions? Is he the organization's best replacement at all three positions?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:11
7 arm but doesn't have the lateral range to play SS. Of course, I've said that about just about every Cardinals SS for the last eight years or so.

Braves list looks great! Very impressive system. Will any other teams will have more 40 FV and above than the Braves' 32 in your lists?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:12
Maybe SD
Drew

When reading about Evan White I keep hearing about his "70 glove at 1B". Can 1B defense matters that much? Positional factors on WAR would indicate that White would be much much more valuable at a CF or even a corner OF.
Eric A Longenhagen
12:15
It's more significant than most baseball fans realize, I think. DRS incorporates scoops at 1B into the equation, I think that shows a pretty significant range in quality at 1B.

12:15
Could Elijah Cabell merit 1st round consideration?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:15
Has that kind of power/bat speed but there's pervasive doubt about the bat, so probably not
Jeff
12:15
Isaac Paredes - hype train this summer or next? Either way it's coming.
Eric A Longenhagen
12:16
He's been on the radar for two years now
Basic question
12:16
Is extended spring training a set time length?  Or is it something that’s always sort of going on, and guys stay as long as needed?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:17
There is a set time length allows for a few weeks downtime between Extended and short-season leagues getting underway and there are scheduled games.
J
12:17
Which FL prep do you think ends up going higher-Connor Scott or Xavier Edwards?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:17
Scott
Jeff
12:17
What's up with Alec Bohm? He's mashed everywhere as a college bat but all seems quiet around him. Plate discipline and defense issues?
Eric A Longenhagen
12:18
We had him as a 1st rounder on our draft rankings and he's trending up for our next update: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/mlb-draft-rankings-2018-2019-and-2020/
Drew
12:18
Have college draftee's timetables been slowed down recently or is it normal for college players to take this long to hit the majors? I don't think we've had a player from 2016 make it to the majors and after Senzel, Whitley (pre-suspension) was probably the second most likely to break in. What happened to the quick movers?
