I think that park helps him more than it will most players.
Nick
1:48
Any idea who has registered the highest exit velocity since it’s been tracked?
Keith Law
1:48
Judge, right?
KC
1:48
What can a healthy Jorge Soler still be for the Royals?
Keith Law
1:48
Above-average regular in RF.
Mick

Are you surprised how well Tulo is playing short? Looks like he's locked in to start there with the Yanks.
Keith Law
1:48
It's spring training. Nothing surprises me, and almost none of it matters.

Have you had a chance to play Root's Riverfolk expansion yet? I just saw that Leder Games has a second expansion in the works, but have not yet managed to try out Riverfolk, and am curious to know how the expansions affect the game's experience...
Keith Law
1:48
I haven't - I rarely play expansions since I'm always trying new games.

Weird question...my mom (who is 69) and I are aligned politically (both despise republicans). However, she is very religious...me not so much. The other day her church had a speaker in about evolution vs creationism etc.  This guy was going through the earth is only 18,000 years old routine. Mom and I had an argument about it (I even gave her bill nyes book)...how would you handle this?
Keith Law
1:50
Nice. I might try sources who try to reconcile or at least don't try to divide science and faith - really, I think most religious people accept that the earth is 4 billion years old. Young Earth Creationists are dumb, but they're also a minority.
Kevin

Are you going to arod/jlo wedding?
Keith Law
1:50
I assume my invitation is in the mail.
Mike

If you were a GM, would you want your player impeding in the HR derby’s? A lot of money for the player if they win, but seems to mess up swings.
Keith Law
1:50
It doesn't mess up swings - that's a myth. Let the kids play.
Tom C

Brendan: the book for Field of Dreams is called "Shoeless Joe". It's a worthwhile read, but it's also pretty different than the movie.
Keith Law
1:50
Thanks.
Michael Conforto
1:50
The Mets should absolutely upgrade from Vargas to Keuchel right?
Keith Law
1:50
Yes but they won't.
Ryan
1:51
Do you have any ideas what players the Dbacks are targeting in the draft? If its too early for that, what do you think their strategy should be? Thank you!
Keith Law
1:51
Too early. Take the best players available, which may entail moving a little money around to grab some first-rounders who fall, since the Dbacks have several extra picks.
DF

Re. the Reds. If they are out of it in July, do you see a chance to recoup similar value to what they gave up with Puig, Wood, etc.?
Keith Law
1:52
Zero chance.

Could use a top 100 movies list......
Keith Law
1:53
Someone asked that in the comments recently ... I feel like I have too many gaps in my own movie-watching history that I couldn't do a credible list.
Uli Jon
1:53
Started “Lincoln in the Bardo”. I like experimental but almost gave up on it. Now I’m all in and I think it might be genius.  Thanks for the recommendation.
Keith Law
1:54
Similar reaction - at the start I thought it might be a gimmick, but it's brilliant.
Ron
1:54
Hi Keith-did you check out, Kiriloff, Lewis or Javier at all?  Any chance to?
Keith Law
1:54
I linked to my ST notes above. I did not go to the west side of Florida at all.
Scott
1:54
Have you seen/read Girl on a Train and if so what were your impressions?
Keith Law
1:54
No. Not sure I've heard of that.
Andy

Who does taking away the August waiver trading period help? Like, who was pushing for that? I would think that some players, especially those nearing the end of contracts, would WANT to go to playoff teams. GMs want to turn their Gios into an A ball reliever with a small chance. Owners want to save small amounts of money if their season isn't going well. Why was that one of the changes that one side wanted?
Keith Law
1:55
I'm not sure but I wondered if players disliked the disruption to their own lives of late-season trades.
Jake Lawson
1:55
So...Wil Myers in center and Mike Moustakas at second. Are either of them likely to be even passable at these positions?
Keith Law
1:55
Moustakas probably not. Myers hell no.
Todd
1:55
In all seriousness, how much is Fox News to blame for our current mess?
Keith Law
1:55
A lot. More than people wish to acknowledge. Maybe it's time to ask establishments you frequent that have televisions going all the time to turn it off.
Rick Sanchez
1:55
When do you think Hiura hits the majors?
Keith Law
1:55
July.
Adam

Love the chats Keith, thanks for taking the time to do them.  With Sano's latest injury, it's hard for this Twins fan to see any reason that he'll be successful consistently long term.  Do you think he'll ever put it together?
