Why not bring one or both back?

This somewhat anticipates top 100 and team rankings, but I'm wondering where you stand on Corey Ray and Lucas Erceg now, and if either has any 2019 MLB legs.
Keith Law

As much as I like Corey Ray, I have a hard time believing the 2018 power spike is meaningful when 1) scouts kept telling me he was selling out for that power and 2) he still punched out 30% of the time. There is still some hope for him and Erceg (who also had back trouble in March and then got hit in the helmet by a pitch in April), but neither has developed anywhere near as I expected. I think this has generally been an issue with Milwaukee - their best hitting prospects have stalled or regressed. Trent Grisham looked like a non-prospect to me in the AFL.

Do you think Austin Allen can be a starting MLB catcher?
Keith Law

I do not. Solid backup.

If the A’s sign Lowrie, as Rosenthal said they want to, what could Barreto fetch in a trade?
Keith Law
2:09
Barreto's value is at an all-time low, I think.

I'm in trouble am I not?
Keith Law

It sure looks that way. Given the hate and misinformation you've spewed, I'm okay with that.

Any chance the Cubs try to trade for Whit Merrifield and play Baez at SS fule time?
Keith Law
2:11
If I'm a Cubs fan that is the last thing I want them to do (the trade part - I'm good with putting Baez at SS full time). Pick up Hamels' option, re-sign Chavez, and go hard for Machado or Harper.

I'm 40 yrs old, and thinking of learning guitar.  Is it a long road to learn ?
Keith Law
2:13
I started when I was a little kid, then picked it up more seriously when I was 13. Not sure what would be involved to learn it now - but you should do it anyway. It's fun, and it's very good for your brain to learn a new skill like that.
Also, chicks dig it.

Just wanted to say thanks for you not "sticking to baseball".
Keith Law
2:13
You're welcome. I don't plan to stick to baseball now or ever again.

That's all for this week's chat but I do have a few notes before I skip out. My ranking of the top 50 free agents this winter will go up Friday, but I'll be on a brief vacation to help my parents celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary, so I will be scarce on social media through Sunday. (That also likely means the stick to baseball post will be postponed.) The next chat will be Thursday, and I'll probably do another Periscope chat next week too. Also, one addition to a question I was asked last week in chat and yesterday on the Periscope: Another movie I'm really looking forward to is The Favourite. I saw the trailer yesterday before A Star Is Born and I am all in.
Thanks as always for showing up and asking so many questions. Have a safe and fun Halloween!
