Do the White Sox still have a bright future after this epic failure of an offseason or am I doomed to watch crap for quite some time?
Keith Law
1:34
Was it a failure? I don't see that. I'm sure you wish they'd landed one of the two big fish, but both players signed large, lucrative deals, and I wouldn't want the White Sox to start trading prospects yet since the major league team isn't contending yet and their system is still shallow.

Allen Webster fulfilling the hype that he once had or SSS?
Keith Law

Can we make NSS a thing? No Sample Size?

I'm going to new orleans for the first time this summer, so you have any recommendations for good BBQ places? Thanks.
Keith Law
1:36
I don't think I've ever had Q in New Orleans. I've had the local dish called barbecue shrimp, which isn't smoked or even grilled, but is shrimp baked/braised in butter. (It's good.) I haven't been in years but usually when I'm there I eat gumbo and fried shellfish.

I need some hope as a Tigers fan... Do you view Mize as a future ace or more of a 2/3? Does he realistically get called up to Detroit this year?
Keith Law
1:36
Future ace.

Angels pitchers have openly criticized Scioscia's hindrance of progressive pitch coaching.  Should we expect measurable performance increases, or is this just excitement about a new boss?
Keith Law
1:37
No, I think they'll be better overall. I criticize Ausmus when he errs - okay, he does that a lot - but my understanding is that the Angels hired him to implement this new information/style of development.
Also, he's so handsome.

Will there be a work stoppage in '21?  Do the players have any chance of prevailing?  Why do "fans" take the owners side in these disputes?
Keith Law
1:37
My bet now is yes.

Klaw, follow up to twitter question about duck recipe. I baught a whole duck and am looking for your recommendation on roasting a whole duck.
Keith Law
1:38
Yes, I remember that - I actually don't cook it whole. I break it down into two legs and two breasts. You can braise the legs and then just sear the breasts; Ruhlman's Twenty has recipes for both. I have a sous vide machine and use that for the breasts, then just finish with a quick sear, so they stay medium-rare.

Thoughts on Severino's rotator cuff tendonitis?  Does it portend future issues or is this just a one time thing?
Keith Law
1:38
We don't have enough information to say.

When in spring training is the lack of velocity a concern? Saw Kenley was down to 89 mph the other day. Fulmer was at 91. both said they will be good by the end of March..
Keith Law
1:39
If someone's velocity is still off in the final week, I get concerned. If I see someone live and his effort is higher but the velocity is lower, that might be a concern too.

Fastest rising “pop up guy” you’ve seen in your scouting tenure?
Keith Law

Benintendi.

Am I a top 5 hitter when I step on the field after service time manipulation?
Keith Law
1:39
No, I'd take the under on that.
Nick
1:39
Best 2 prospects you’ve seen on one team (h.s or college)? Feel like Trevor Bauer and Gerrit Cole have to be up there
Keith Law
1:39
Tough to top that - 1st pick and 3rd. At one point, Harvard-Westlake HS had seniors Luc Giolito and Max Fried and sophomore 3b/rhp Jack Flaherty.
Thomas

Best shows you've watched on Netflix?
Keith Law
1:40
Haven't watched many shows at all but Russian Doll was +++.
Todd

Gleyer and Andujar regress at all this season?
Keith Law
1:40
I'm not expecting that, especially not from Gleyber.
Nino from The Money Team
1:41
Giolito seems to sitting back up in the mid-90s but is still all over the place - are the Sox still undoing a lot of the damage the Nats inflicted upon him or is this what he is and will be?
Keith Law
1:41
MLB says he's thrown 75% of his pitches for strikes this spring. Also, it's March 7th.
Nick
1:41
What country could you see being the next hot bed for international talent that isn’t high on the radar now?
Keith Law
1:42
Brazil. South Africa. Uganda has had some very good little league teams the last few years; I heard from a scout who went there with MLB that there were players there who could go to junior college here, which is utterly astounding when you consider its baseball isolation and lack of history with the sport.
1:43
Of course India and China are easy guesses ... with 1 billion people each there must be some kid there who can run 3.97 down the line or throw 95 mph, just without any baseball skills.
Danny

Not a judgment comment- actual earnest question from a Yankees fan- do you think Cano will get in with the PED suspension?
Keith Law
1:43
Yes, by that point so many of the older voters will have stopped voting, lost their badges, or passed away that PED suspensions will be seen as a minor ding but not a disqualification.
Mike
1:43
what is the defensive outlook for Tyler O’Neill, looking like he will get serious playing time this year
Keith Law
1:43
Below average defender.

Hi, Keith.  No question, just a comment.  We had to put down our dog yesterday.  Pretty shitty day, obviously.  But I was at least able to take some entertainment and get a few laughs from seeing you excoriate those idiots on Twitter last night.  Please don't ever change and don't ever stick to baseball.  Thanks!
Keith Law

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. Very painful to lose a beloved pet.
