by
July 3, 2016

Episode 664
Lead prospect analyst Eric Longenhagen is the guest on this edition of the pod, during which he discusses this year’s top international free agents, reviews the top international free agents of 2011 to provide context for what one might expect out of such players, and discusses the relative inflexibility of the 20-80 scouting scale and why it’s actually a good thing.

This episode of the program either is or isn’t sponsored by SeatGeek, which site removes both the work and also the hassle from the process of shopping for tickets.

Carson – I laughed when you said you’re talking about soccer on the radio in Northampton, MA. I was on the radio, well a podcast, talking about baseball in Northampton, England the other week. http://notrounders.podomatic.com/entry/2016-06-03T14_15_58-07_00

Is there a reason that you call Longenhagen the “lead” (as in what’s inside a pencil) prospect analyst as opposed to a “lead” (as in what a batter takes from a base) prospect analyst?
