12:00
Tanaka and Hendricks: Eno…you think the arrow is pointing up on these two for ROS?

12:01
Eno Sarris: Hendricks, yes. Tanaka? Throws cement mixer sliders and now cement mixer splitters, too. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s on the DL soon.

12:02

12:02

12:16

2017 Live Draft Coverage with Eric Longenhagen and Chris Mitchell

Keith Law will unfortunately not be able to join Eric tonight, as previously announced. Chris Mitchell will be replacing him as Eric’s co-host.

Tonight, the MLB draft begins at 7 pm eastern. Lead prospect analyst Eric Longenhagen will be covering the first round as it happens, via Google Hangout, and he’ll also be joined by Chris Mitchell. Together, they’ll discuss the first 27 picks, and when possible, take questions from you guys as well.

To help facilitate the conversation, we’re going to have a Jotcast queue open for you guys to submit questions, and they’ll pick from that queue and answer them as they can. As they’ll be answering the questions on video, this isn’t a traditional chat, but they’ll hopefully have time to answer some of your queries in between selections.

Bookmark this post for your live draft coverage with Eric and Keith tonight, and we’ll have the Google Hangout embedded in this post when they go live right before the draft begins.

Jeff Sullivan: Hello friends

9:08
Jeff Sullivan: Welcome to Friday baseball chat

9:08
Jeff Sullivan: Sorry for that delay, was finishing a podcast

9:08
Jeff Sullivan: FanGraphs looks different now. I wonder if there are opinions

9:08
Dodgers: Do the Dodgers make a big splash this summer?

9:09
Jeff Sullivan: I’m not anticipating one, but I suppose it could in part come down to where they are with Hill and Wood. Just generally I continue to figure they’ll make the B- and C-tier moves, around their own flexibility

1:59
ChiSox: What can the White Sox offer to the Cubs for Jaimer Candelario?

1:59
Dan Szymborski: It’s a little tricky matching these teams up as the stuff that the Cubs would need isn’t really waht the White Sox have.

2:00
Tom: Would you trade Machado for Bellinger and Rosario in a dynasty?

2:00
Dan Szymborski: That’s pretty tough. Especially if Machado ever gets SS qualifying in your league.
