Carlos Gomez’s career would be a __th percentile outcome for Luis Robert?

Kevin Goldstein

1:04

70th?

Pete

1:04

How much swing and miss risk is there with Julio Rodriguez?

Kevin Goldstein

1:05

It's definitely there, but he's not, to repeat an earlier term, some kind of power goof. There's hit-ability on display.

Joseph

1:05

Crazy to think Sal Frelick reads like Corbin Carroll/Benintendi? same level of prospect?

Kevin Goldstein

1:05

I'm growing to really like him.

CAn Bobby DAlbac be better than Joey Gallo?

Kevin Goldstein

1:05

No.

I miss Willy Mo Pena

Kevin Goldstein

1:06

I miss Chris Carter.

Josh

1:06

Correa to Miami? Or is he too costly for them?

Kevin Goldstein

1:07

A healthy season probably prices him out of Miami unless something weird happens.

Bart

1:07

I miss 'I love Lucy"

Kevin Goldstein

1:07

It's on Hulu. It's still very good.

Guest

1:08

I miss Roberto Petagine

Kevin Goldstein

1:08

I miss Kila Kaʻaihue

Since someone brought up Carlos Gomez, do you have any thoughts/regrets on his time in Houston?

Kevin Goldstein

1:09

You think about mistakes more than successes and I think about that trade A LOT.

Cryin' Bashman

How much more growth do you see in Leody Taveras? As a dopey baseball fan (not scout), I like lots of his game but it seems like he hasn't consolidated everything yet. It would be a bummer if what you see is what you get and there's no next level for him.

Kevin Goldstein

1:10

I struggle to see him ever becoming a real offensive contributor. It's a shame because man oh man can he play CF with the best of them.

BettsBellingerCaruso

1:10

Do you buy Spring Training velocity upticks/declines?

Kevin Goldstein

1:11

I don't think it's a binary yes or no. I think you definitely put a checkmark next to them and see if it carries into the season.

Mario

1:11

Correa to Detroit. Not a prediction , that's a SPOILER!

Kevin Goldstein

1:11

If you are taking wagers on that, lemme know. I'd like to make some easy money.

Joseph

1:11

Does jazz Chisholm become a star?

Kevin Goldstein

1:12

Not with that much swing and miss.

MikeD

1:12

What should we expect from Myles Straw?

Kevin Goldstein

1:13

.350 OBP VERY low power, really good defense. 1.5-2 win player.

Salty

1:13

I Love Lucy is very good, but it has reached maximum physicality and therefore lacks future growth.

Kevin Goldstein

1:13

What about the Dick Van Dyke show?

Buff Chick

1:13

Mark Appel is trying again with the Phillies, can you talk about the Ken Giles deal at all? Were this Phillies focused on quantity over quality or did the Astros pitch that?

Kevin Goldstein

1:14

That was a fun one. LOTS of arguments in the suite during the winter meetings that year. It got HEATED.

Luke

1:14

Are the Angels one of the worst run mlb franchises?

Kevin Goldstein

1:15

I think if you are going to throw those kind of terms around, they have to be pointed at ownership and not the front office. I'm sure Perry would like to bring his area scouts back, and it's Moreno who is preventing it.

Adam

1:16

Considering the late bloom of his career, how dominant does Jacob DeGrom need to be for how long to make a serious Hall of Fame case for himself? Does one more Cy Young award get him there?

Kevin Goldstein

1:16

The Jay Jaffe chat is later in the week. His answer on this would be 100x more insightful than mine.

1:17

Do front office staff members generally play any fantasy baseball? Or would that be too much like work for it to be fun anymore?

Kevin Goldstein

1:17

No. No time, and they're already doing it in real life.

Brad

1:18

best case scenario stat line for Gary Sanchez in 2021?
