Would you keep Harry Ford at catcher? Can he be a top 20 type prospect by years end?
Keith Law

I'd try to keep him at catcher until he either shows he can't handle it or the bat turns out to be way more advanced than the glove (like Bryce Harper or Wil Myers) so moving him is the right developmental move.

Gavin Stons's changeup is even better than advertised.  Am I overreacting?
Keith Law

It's pretty good. Freaking Dodgers, man.

Have you read any books by JG Farrell?  I just finished Troubles and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Keith Law

No but I've sort of been working through the list of Booker Prize winners so I'll likely read that and/or The Siege of Krishnapur.

Evan Carter, crow-armstrong or Robert Hassel? Seem like similar players. A year ago it seemed like Hassell then a huge gap to the other 2, but I'm guessing that's closed or reversed. Thanks as always!!!

Carter probably has the highest ceiling, PCA is the best prospect of the three because he has a high floor but also some ceiling.

Just when MLB inserts changes to make their games more watchable... They can't reach an agreement with YouTube TV to carry MLB Network so their games are literally unwatchable. Make it make sense!

I feel like that might get worked out in time.

M.Bleis and de Paula have been getting a ton of helium. Are they elite talent type prospects?
Keith Law
2:01
Bleis was on my top 100 for that reason.

The guardians lack thump in their outfield. As much as we love watching Kwan and straw and etc, is valera an instant upgrade as soon as he's ready? He seems to suffer from prospect fatigue, does he still have that impact upside?
Keith Law
2:02
Still has impact upside but definitely needs to improve some of his contact rates before he's ready.

That's all for this week. I'll be traveling a lot this month so I don't know when the next chat will be, but I will post a few scouting blogs as I see players, both amateur and pro, including one on Monday or Tuesday about some draft guys. Thanks as always for reading and for all of your questions!
