Jay, it is my birthday, can I get a shout out? How do you see Austin Hays this year and going forward?

Jay Jaffe

Happy birthday, Brad! I don't know anything about Hays that Kiley or Eric couldn't tell you, so read what they have to say https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-32-prospects-baltimore-orioles/

1977- Andre Dawson/Eddie Murray

Dawson was not a first-ballot Hall of Famer. He was elected in his 9th year of eligibility.

Reggie Smith is a favorite of yours? Cool! Does he belong in the HOF? (I say yes, but I'm a bit of a big hall guy)

He's 16th in JAWS at RF, ahead of Ichiro, Dave Winfield and Vlad Guerrero but short of all three standards (including 5.1 JAWS). I'd be happy if he were already in but I'm not terribly motivated to mount a campaign for him. Likewise for Dwight Evans, who's 0.5 ahead of him in JAWS

How was the Fangraphs meetup? I registered to go but unfortunately had a last-minute emergency and couldn't (I live in AZ). Apologies if that messed up the head count or anything

Sorry you couldn't make it, hope it was nothing life-altering for you or anyone else. A good time was had by those in attendance, myself included.

re. ROY/HOF- at least 3 other times at quick glance- 56 (Robinson/Aparicio), 67(Seaver/Carew), 77(Murray/Dawson). And 2012 seems very possible if not likely- Trout/Harper.

Jay Jaffe

Aparicio wasn't a first-ballot guy either, which was the original question.

AJ Pollock

*clears throat* Chaz Roe? Anthony Bass? Gentlemen, please.

Jay Jaffe

Fair.

Who pitches the most innings this year: Kershaw, Severino, or Keuchel?
