Try reading some of the longer answers, if you can.

Do you like the odds of the Nats outfield being Green, Hassell, and Wood by 2025?  Maybe throw in some Vaquero and De La Rosa into the mix?
Keith Law
1:47
That's the best case scenario.
Isaac
1:48
The Guardians system is insanely deep, but do you see any if their bats as actual stars? They all seem pretty similar, without any of them wowing.
Keith Law
1:48
Valera has the most upside, and Rocchio might be a star, too.
Todd Boss

Foodie question: did you watch Chef's Table: Pizza on Netflix?  First episode on Arizona's pizza aficionado Chris Bianco?  Have you tried his "other" restaurant in addition to the flagship (which I know you've written up before)
Keith Law
1:48
I haven't watched it yet, and yes, I've tried Tratto twice - it's excellent.
Isaac
1:49
Any insight into Jaison Chourio? Looking at the stat sheet, numbers look promising. Or is that just due to the name that we all think he could be a breakout player in that system?
Keith Law
1:49
It's almost all projection at this point, but he's interesting.
Wojak

You didn't answer Mike's question; what would you do to solve payroll disparity? Have a salary floor? Require 100% of rev sharing go to roster? etc
Keith Law
1:50
I thought that was fairly obvious - you have to prevent owners from pocketing revenue sharing, and require them to spend it on players, whether the MLB roster or amateurs.

If you were the Yankees would you look to start Peraza at SS and move Volpe to 2nd long term? Or would you be looking to move Peraza in a deal for pitching or a LF?
Keith Law
1:50
I'm not moving Volpe off short unless I have to.

Hudson Haskin- is he a GUY if his power takes another step forward this year?
Keith Law
1:50
No.
Chris

Dalton Rushing was a big riser from your draft rankings. Safe to say his pro debut was way better than expected?
Keith Law
1:50
Yes and pro scouts were blown away by the feel to hit.
Justin
1:51
youve probably answered this 48 times but what was your favorite restaurant in your time in Pittsburgh
Keith Law
1:51
It's long closed, sadly.
Mark
1:51
During the regular season do you make it to more major league parks or minor league parks? Which are your favorite cities in both?
Keith Law
1:51
Only minor league parks unless there's a debut I want/need to see. I haven't been to a major league game since before the pandemic, because it's just so much more productive for me to see multiple players at a time in the minors.
Patrick Gordon
1:51
Keith. I will buy you dinner if you ever visit Madison Wisconsin!
Catcher if you can
1:52
Why did you rank Cartaya over Alvarez? They're the same age, but Cartaya hasn't passed A ball and Alvarez has already seen major league action, not to mention the success in the minors.
Keith Law
1:52
Thank you, but with no minor-league or college team there, it's not likely.
Cartaya's a better defender with at least as much upside with the bat.
GaryT
1:52
Which minor leaguer has the highest upside if everything possible goes right?Im assuming its a tooled up player with a possible hit tool concern. Maybe Elijah Green, James Wood? De la cruz?
Keith Law
1:53
Elly. But he has more failure risk than anyone else in the top ten.
Will
1:53
Hey Keith, love your work. I noticed Ezequiel Tovar fell from #25 on your midseason ranking to #69 on the top 100. What was the reason for such a big drop?
Keith Law
1:53
That's the wrong way to look at these lists - they're not sequential. I don't look at my own midseason list before creating this one.
Marc
1:54
Thanks for the recommendations on games!  I asked about some follow up Q's about Ticket to Ride sequels, but chose to go with your #2 choice overall (Carcassonne), and my son (age 7) begs to play every weekend morning.  Thanks for your lists!
Keith Law
1:55
Wonderful! I love hearing a recommendation worked out. Having analog games to play with kids, family members, friends feels so valuable in a digital age.
Mike
1:55
What's your favorite board game to play online? I use catan universe a lot, but it's been buggy lately
Keith Law
1:55
I play a lot on BGA and my favorite varies. Great Western Trail is a good one.
Jason
1:55
What are your thoughts on Luis Campusano? Will he be a legaue-average hitter?
Keith Law
1:55
I'm still in. He's no longer eligible for prospect lists though.
Bob
1:55
Do you watch pork with your kids? You seem like someone who would.
Keith Law
1:56
We prefer eating pork to watching it. Mostly it just sits there.
Kip
1:56
Did you work with Alex Anthopoulos in Toronto?
Keith Law
1:56
Yes, for two years. Amazing mind and a great person.

Any possibility of a new pizza ranking?
