Love both. Would lean Buehler on pure stuff.
Ted

if you're Alex A. you gotta be sliding into the DMs of yet-to-be-named-Red Sox-GM's every day this winter right? Or would adding Mookie make the Braves too much fun for the universe to allow
Keith Law
1:41
They do seem like an ideal fit. They can give Boston young starters, and they have that spot open in RF.
Troy
1:41
Do you think Dakota Hudson has shown enough to be a mainstay in the Cardinals rotation?
Keith Law
1:41
No.
Regret

I know the Kelenic trade gets most of the "sh**iest move" press, but the Downs/Gray deal for the Reds has to be just as bad, no? Unjustifiable the second it was done--and horrific in retrospect.
Keith Law
1:41
Agreed, and then compounded by trading Trammell at his lowest value point for a fourth starter.
Jason
1:42
I asked about Xavier Edwards in Periscope yesterday, and you correctly pointed out he played more at 2B than SS.  Now that Luis Urias has been freed, could he or Edwards play CF to get both of them into the lineup?
Keith Law
1:42
Edwards seems more suited to CF, although they're at least two years apart developmentally.
Scott
1:42
Is Corbin Burnes still a starter for you long term?  IIRC Woodruff followed a similar development pattern on his way up.
Keith Law
1:42
If healthy, absolutely.

We chatted last week about my upcoming visit to the USA where I'll be attending a World Series game- interesting insight into Minneapolis!  Thank you!  Where would I NOT want to go?  Has to be Tampa, no?  -Cheers, Stu
Keith Law
1:43
Tampa would be the worst of the 8 cities left, since the team itself actually plays in St. Petersburg, the stadium isn't near anything worthwhile, and getting around that area is not easy.

When you listen to audiobooks, do you actively listen, or passively listen while doing other things? If the later, how well do you feel you retain the book vs. reading?
Keith Law
1:44
I listen while driving, cleaning, or cooking. While driving it's passive listening, but the other tasks let me focus more on the book. Current audiobook is Josh Levin's The Queen, which is very very good.

We have a AAA quality park here in AA Hartford, just a hop, skip and a jump from DC. I nobody here has any say over these decisions but if I keep putting it out into the world maybe it'll happen.
Keith Law
1:44
Incredible park. One of my favorites.
Chris

A bit of a delayed reaction here but my nieces and nephews won't let anyone else make pancakes bc of my whipped egg whites. Glad to know the technique is Klaw-approved!
Keith Law
1:45
Huge difference. Do that and cook them in a thin layer of bacon fat for the best scratch pancakes ever.
Tom C
1:45
But you will leave the meetings to go to Juniper & Ivy right
Keith Law
1:45
I have to eat, Tom.
Tom

Re Pavin Smith: I was referring to his improved Avg and OBP, while still maintaining low strikeout rate, against AA pitching. I thought it was encouraging
Keith Law
1:45
No power. He's a mediocre 1b without power.
Buscon Bob
1:45
Is 2020 the year that Tim Tebow decides that he should quit sports?
Keith Law
1:45
Maybe Callaway was sacked for opposing a Tebow callup.
JG
1:45
If you're the Twins and could only keep one: do you extend Rosario or Buxton?
Keith Law
1:46
Extend Buxton, trade Rosario.
Andy
1:46
The President is using Nickleback memes.
Keith Law
1:46
Fitting.
Zach
1:46
Eh Prager is garbage brain washing, but it’s more hard conservative than alt-right
Keith Law
1:46
They've really veered into alt-right crapola lately.
John
1:46
Any recommendations via your daughter for YA fiction or fiction that's adult-level reading but thematically appropriate for teens?
Keith Law
1:48
I'll ask her what she recommends when she's home from school. I know she read & liked my friend Kelly Swails' This May Go on Your Permanent Record. She loved the Marissa Meyer Lunar Chronicles series too.
Richie O
1:48
Are you still upset at the Jays for firing you?
Keith Law
1:48
Well, they didn't fire me, I quit to join ESPN ... most fired people don't start a new job the day after their last one at the old company. Facts still matter around here, Dick.
addoeh
1:49
Hey Keith, you live in Delaware.  Could investigate the Bidens as well?
Keith Law
1:49
I have some very good dope about Ashley Biden's sixth birthday party. Just waiting for the New York Times to call.
JL

Re: Soroka and the road... I don't know if there's truth to it, but David O'Brien and Eric O'Flaherty have mentioned on a podcast that some Braves pitchers believe the mound is too short in ATL. Could be Soroka is not as comfortable on his home mound. Just the messenger. Do you have thoughts on that as a possibility?
Keith Law
1:50
I don't buy it. If the mound is low, and it's bothering THEIR OWN pitchers, you don't think the Atlanta brass would address it?
Matt

Speaking of Bill Simmons, didn't you guys use to try to have a longest chat record? I think he won w/ like 6 hours but I could be wrong.
