Overall, yes. But their amateur draft results, notably in the first round, have been poor, and that has to be addressed at some point.

You stated above the Giants should possibly just stand pat. So would the strategy be just fill their remaining holes with one year fliers and sell what you can at the deadline?
Keith Law
1:01
Right. And play internal options where available, although I know there aren't many.

Most impactful call up for the angels in 2019? Canning, Suarez, adell, rengifo, someone else?
Keith Law
1:01
Not Adell although he's their best prospect. Canning seems like a good bet.

Joe Kelly had a mediocre regular season in  2018, followed by a terrific post-season.  The Dodgers just made a massive overpay.  Why does it seem like teams always overvalue the three weeks in October vs. a career's worth of middling results?
Keith Law

That one really surprised me. Didn't foresee the Dodgers overpaying like that for a reliever.

My wifes work has us overseas. Every country we have lived in has ESPN+ (used to be insider) blocked. Why is that? What content right issues don't allow me to use ESPN+ except for out two week home leave every year?

You aren't the only person to report this but unfortunately I don't know the answer. I'm sorry.

Do you think the Mets viewed Dunn and Kelenic as their top two prospects and it was the price they had to pay to get Cano/Diaz, or did they view them differently than the rest of the industry which is why they were willing to trade them?
Keith Law
1:03
I believe those were their top two prospects, and that the industry as a whole viewed them the same (consensus, of course, not every person will agree), but BVW didn't.

Tony Gonsolin a legit sp prospect?
Keith Law

I've heard very good reliever but have not seen.
1:04
I may have that wrong, actually ... going off memory there but now I'm doubting myself. I know I have very good notes either way.

OK, I need to wrap this up with a busy afternoon ahead. Thank you all so much for reading, today and all year long. I'll still be writing as needed through the holidays but won't chat again until January 3rd. Have a safe and happy holiday, and please watch yourselves on the roads, especially on New Year's Eve. We will chat again in the new year.
