Whole Foods has them intermittently or can order them. They freeze well, too.

Harper Harper Harper!  How relieved are you going to be when he finally signs and we can move on from a narrative perspective?
Keith Law
2:23
I've certainly had enough of this as a general story and of Philly writers/radio people taking cheap shots at Harper for (checks notes) letting his agent handle negotiations.
Sam
2:23
If the first regular season game is on March 20th, does that mark the start of the year for everyone, or just those teams? Asking so I know when Guerrero and Jimenez will magically stop needing minor league seasoning.
Keith Law
2:23
Just those teams.
Randall Stephens
2:23
How worried should I be about Kershaw? Can his FB get back to 93-94?
Keith Law
2:23
I think he can succeed averaging 90 mph, but I'm more concerned that his arm is sore. Seems like he's never come up with a complaint about arm soreness.
Nick
2:24
Do you think Harper will take less to go to the West Coast? And how bad would it be if the Phillies were outbid?
Keith Law
2:24
No, I think he'll take the most lucrative offer, period.
Beetlejuice

Hello Keith. Draft class looks pretty rough on the college pitching side - any guys you think have late life to jump into the top 5?
Keith Law
2:24
Right now, no.
Stanley
2:24
He just turned 18 a few months ago. Does Luis Garcia (PHI) have enough projection to get to 50 power?
Keith Law
2:24
Probably.
Mike
2:24
You've probably answered this at one point, but have you seen Ex Machina? Finally watched it for first time last night and it's the best sci-fi film I've seen in awhile.
Keith Law
2:26
Yep, review is somewhere on this site. "I'm gonna tear up the fuckin' dance floor" is one of the best lines/scenes of the decade.
Dave

In your organizational write-up, you noted that Detroit hadn't gotten production from its international signings-- is that because of poor scouting, not putting enough resources into either scouting or signing players, bad luck... or something else?
Keith Law
2:26
I don't know what their investment in the region has been, but they haven't produced players. They've had few big-dollar signings, though.
James
2:26
Will you have a chance to get out to San Diego to see Spencer Jones and/or Derek Diamond?
Keith Law
2:26
Right now, neither is good enough for me to make the trip.
Kevin
2:26
Are many players still older than their listed ages (cough:Pujols:cough) or is that becoming a thing of the past?
Keith Law
2:27
I still hear of those from time to time. Mostly players from Cuba now, rather than players from the DR, which was most common pre-9/11 and has since become almost nonexistent.
Mason
2:27
Who do you think is starting in center field for the Reds on opening day?
Keith Law
2:27
Why not Senzel? Who's the better option?
Jay
2:27
Any remarks on Paddack's ST outing, particularly on fastball location or new curveball shape he's been working on?
Keith Law
2:27
Absolutely not. One brief ST outing when players are still getting into game shape tells us little to nothing.
CJ
2:28
Are you reporting to spring training in the best shape of your career?
Keith Law
2:28
Definitely not.
Jonny

Mount Rushmore of favorite movies ever?
Keith Law
2:31
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Amelie. North by Northwest. Double Indemnity. Ugh, so many I have to leave out - Charade, To Catch a Thief, WALL-E ... didn't mention any musicals ... The Maltese Falcon, Strangers on a Train, The Apartment ... I could go on for a while.
Jim
2:31
Do teams place any personnel decisions on spring training performance or are those decisions already made in advance?
Keith Law
2:32
I think it still happens more than it should. ST should be for making sure everyone is healthy and ready to go, but less for new evaluations unless there is a tangible, physical explanation.
Matt
2:32
I was reading your foreign language learning strategy and in regards to the flashcards, would you still use the physical cards or do you know of a good online program or app that you would use now?
Keith Law
2:32
I've tried some apps and none has really worked for me.
Jay
2:32
Tatis callup on May 1 sound about right to you? Or more seasoning
Keith Law
2:32
He's played less than a full season of games above low-A. I don't know how ready he is right now - he might be so good it doesn't matter, but I am not banging the drum for him as I am for Vlad Jr. or Eloy.
Mark
2:32
Should the Nats offer Rendon the same contract extension that Arenado just got? I'd be more heartbroken if he left than Harper honestly.
Keith Law
2:32
Yes.
Mike

Klaw, thanks for your great work. I’m looking for restaurant recommendations for Charlotte. My wife loves chain restaurants, so I want her to try something that perhaps you can recommend.
Keith Law
2:33
I have spent very little time there, so I'm sorry but I don't have any.
AES

I can't read the rankings because ESPN+ isn't available to dirty foreigners. So I'm asking, it seems the hosiery trade worked out perfect for the Crimson, as Sale has been great, flags fly forever, but how much hav e koepech/moncada dropped?
