Yes, that's on my long list of projects for the dish this year.

Sex is binary, right?
Keith Law
1:58
Never has been, never will. Don't you science deniers ever get tired of repeating yourselves?
James

Will you be seeing Grand Canyon Jacob Wilson at all? Maybe when out here for spring training?
Keith Law
1:58
Saw him last spring and hope to see him again. I thought he could be a back-end first rounder, definitely top two rounds, based on last year.
Scott

Curious what other movie reviews are on tap -- what you've seen but not yet written up and what you're eager to see but haven't. #StickToBaseball
Keith Law
1:59
I think I have five I could write up, including Triangle of Sadness and Causeway.

Hi Keith, it's hard not to get excited about Arizona's young core - but is it enough to truly compete with LA and SD without Kendrick opening the pocketbook to spend a bit more than he's ever really shown he's willing to?
Keith Law
1:59
They'll have to spend at some point to supplement the core.
Rocco

Any reason why people seem to be more outspoken and outraged over Bauer alleged crimes vs worse crimes of other athletes?
Keith Law
2:00
Is that true? I guess it could be because he was also more outspoken about proclaiming his innocence and suing his accusers (and the Athletic). Or maybe he's just higher profile than others?
Bo

What's your favorite pizza topping?
Keith Law
2:01
Mushrooms.
James

Are you still learning/practicing guitar or did you kind of give it up? Are you still learning/practicing Welch language?
Keith Law
2:03
I've played guitar since I was 8, and play most days if I can grab a few minutes. I finished the Welsh Duolingo course, so I am sort of 'done' learning it for now.
Chris P

Matt McLain fell off pretty badly after not really succeeding in AA, but do you still see him having a major league career if he moved to 2B?
Keith Law
2:03
A career, maybe, but he's not the prospect I thought he was before the '21 draft.
Scott

I know people often accuse you of being biased about certain teams — an accusation you always push back at. But do you think you could be biased by certain people who talk to you about certain scouts or industry insiders who you especially like and are interesting but don't always provide good information?
Keith Law
2:04
I'm aware of the potential for sources to be biased and recalibrate accordingly. I also talk to a very wide range of people every year for the top 100 etc.
Chris P
2:04
Can Jordan Balazovic turn it around to become a starter long term?
Keith Law
2:04
Yes. I don't think he was healthy at all last year.
You Probably Love Your Mother-In-Law
2:04
Favorite I Think You Should Leave sketches? Focus group, bones are their money, and safari hat trial come to mind.
Keith Law
2:06
Karl Havoc, the Diner friend, Dan Flashes, Brooks Brothers, Parking lot.
James

Will you be watching the super bowl this year since Eagles in it? Making a menu for it?
Keith Law
2:06
Yes but my wife is cooking her green chili (for the Eagles, of course).
JDFSBD
2:06
What is your all time favorite 2 player boardgame?
Keith Law
2:06
Jaipur.
James
2:06
do you think Delaware is where you will be long term? Thought of moving to a new city?
Keith Law
2:07
I will be here for the long term.
Chris P

I love how fans get so mad at you if you don't have a certain guy ranked #1 overall, or if you left a guy out of the top 100. Like these rankings are not super fluid and the players you did rank ahead are pretty much the same after a certain point.
Keith Law
2:08
Also, these rankings don't do anything. They don't affect games. They don't make players better or worse. They're information and opinion.
Chris
2:08
How close did the new international signings come to your top 100 list? Specifically celestine? How do you personally go about ranking/rating players that young?
Keith Law
2:08
I don't consider any of the guys who just signed on these rankings. There's way too little information on them. Most of those kids haven't been scouted for over a year, some for more like two to three years.
James
2:09
I remember you went to Jarod Parker’s debut at chase field in AZ… wish he stayed healthy
Keith Law
2:09
I did, and yes.
Mike
2:09
You ranked a lot of catchers in your top prospects list. Are we in the midst of a catching Renaissance? If so, what do you attribute that to?
Keith Law
2:09
They're also just more valuable if they stay back there and hit. Catchers, shortstops, centerfielders.
Evan
2:09
I'm sorry but wtf kind of question is "do you watch pork with your kids?"!?
Keith Law
2:10
It's a typo from someone trying to be an asshole but failing miserably.
James
2:10
thoughts on MLB reinstating that scout who was banned permanently?
