I laughed.

Michel Baez- reason for such a dramatic fall from mid-season 51 to off the list?
Keith Law
1:56
If you read what I said, there is no "fall." Each list is organic, not based on previous lists.

Any interest in watching the Super Bowl? Or at least cooking anything for it?
Keith Law
1:56
Probably neither. I literally forgot it was Sunday until my daughter mentioned it last night.
Rob

Any consideration of George Valera?
Keith Law
1:57
No. He missed almost the whole summer, so he's barely played.
Robert
1:57
No question.  I just wanted to thank you for the period you stayed away from the Arizona Fall League.  It was nice to see Luis Robert play some games.
Keith Law
1:57
He missed one week of the AFL, and it was the week I was there.

Briefly on Howard Schultz, I think the main problem he's had is nobody's actually buying his pitch: "two party system bad" while also being a - excuse the baseball term - replacement-level republican on most of his policy stances.
Keith Law
1:57
Yep. I'm glad these dipshits (add Gabbard to that list) are all playing themselves out now, while the election is over a year away.

I'm constantly impressed with how quickly you rip through these questions without spelling or grammar errors. Is there a book you could recommend on teaching proper writing techniques?
Keith Law
1:58
I read a lot, going back to when i was a kid. I have to think that helped form language skills in my mind early and then hold them in place. Although if I read more James Joyce I'd probably lose it all.

If Ke'Bryan Hayes never develops power, can he still be a 3 WAR player?
Keith Law
1:58
Yes.

Michel Baez- reason for such a dramatic fall from mid-season #51 to off the list completely?
Keith Law
1:59
Yeah, so submitting the same question multiple times under different names doesn't get you an answer, but it does piss me off, so don't do that.

Who do you dream about making the biggest jump in your 2020 rankings? Who do you have nightmares about falling out of your rankings (for non-injury concerns)?
Keith Law
2:01
Mostly injury concerns are what bother me, but I was surprised how many front office guys didn't value Sheffield the way I did (I've seen him lights-out, and think he's a great athlete who'll adjust well) or the Mariners did. The next guy on my Angels list was Jordyn Adams; I think he could be a superstar, but he just hasn't played that much baseball yet and I felt like that would be overreaching since we don't have a great idea of his zone control or pitch recognition yet.
Magoo

Anything to buy into with Florial and the Yankees hiring the so called guru of pitch recognition?
Keith Law
2:01
I wrote that too.
Lololololol

RE Vizquel, "I'm reading your published book and I think its wrong" is one of my all time favorite Klawchat moments.
Keith Law

Welcome to my life.

Sorry to cut this off but I have one more scout call to make for these last few lists, and it's time for that. I'll do a Periscope (video) chat on Thursday, and another Klawchat next week when the team reports run. I also used the Instagram story feature for today's announcements for the first time (with a soundtrack!), so feel free to follow me there (@mrkeithlaw) and let me know if you enjoy those clips. Thanks again for reading, subscribing, and for all the questions!
