Keith, I went to all SS pans from Anodized but I’m having trouble keeping food from sticking. Help!
Keith Law
2:59
Stainless steel? I would guess you need to use more fat when cooking. Anodized is truly nonstick. Stainless steel is not nonstick - it's great for searing or browning foods where you intend to use the brown bits left on the pan (fond) by deglazing.

What do you expect from Brent Rooker this season? What level should he begin at, how soon do you think he will be in Minneapolis?
Keith Law
2:59
Start in high-A, and bump him to double-A if he rakes there again. Older guy so get him moving. So far, very good with him.
Matt

Schilling is a Parkland truther. WTF happened to him? Was he always that crazy?
Keith Law
3:01
No. I wouldn't have been able to work with him if he were a hoaxer - I remember him specifically saying in the green room that he thought Alex Jones' Sandy Hook hoaxerism was reprehensible. Now ... I wasn't going to let this shit affect my Hall ballot, but I think he just obliterated my principles.
Andy

Andrew Miller was also the top college pitching prospect and a top 10 draft pick, who failed at starting. So what teams need to do to develop the next "Andrew Miller type" is to have starting pitchers who have big stuff but may lack the control or enough pitches to last 6 innings.
Keith Law

Or the durability to go 180-200. This is something I've said about McCullers, and Fulmer, and Severino (who more than held up last year).
Scherzer's Blue Eye
3:01
The cooked hat things kills me. It has nothing to do with the player's national origin. It's like a crooked painting hanging on the wall. I have the overwhelming urge to run onto the field and straighten Strop's or Rodney's hat.
Keith Law
3:02
OK but that's your OCD, no? (I'm a little bit the same way myself.)
Steve

A healthy Blake Swihart that can catch ~50 games, play 2B and some OF would be a wildly valuable guy if he's average defensively, right? Chances he puts up a 2 win year?
Keith Law
3:02
Yep. I'm a big Swihart fan. If he's healthy, and throwing fine, then I'll bet on him going over 2 WAR.
Greg

Random question, have you tried an escape room? If so thoughts?
Keith Law
3:02
Only in board game form.
Kris
3:02
When reporters say IFAs are "linked" to a team does that almost guarantee that the player will sign with the linked team?
Keith Law
3:03
Yes. They have an oral agreement in place. This is illegal and happens all the time.

I know they shouldn't, but WILL the Rays trade Archer this spring?  If so, do the Cardinals have what it takes to make this happen?  Archer/Martinez/Reyes has a nice ring to it....
Keith Law
3:03
At this point, I wouldn't drop my price if I were the Rays. Try again in July.
Tommy Pacu

Hey - Alaskan here!  Jeez, no love for the biggest state?  Curious as to your thoughts on competition level of Alaska summer league.  Lots of big names cycled through in the past but you never mention the league... is it relevant prospect wise these days?
Keith Law
3:03
Not any more, sadly. Would love to go scout there, though!
That Guy in Detroit

Keith, got any new metal to recommend?
Keith Law
3:04
The new Tribulation album is incredible.
ML
3:04
You think Tatis, Guerrero, or Bichette could make his MLB debut this season?
Keith Law
3:04
I'd bet on no for each of them.
Tom
3:04
Does Ryan Vilade have the talent to be a top 100 prospect someday? Thanks.
Keith Law
3:04
Yes.
Jamal

Another way to test out board games is to check out your local library as they are increasingly available to rent.
Keith Law
3:05
That I have not seen, although my local branch does host a game night every month.

Texas Wesleyan went ahead and fired that coach: http://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/22615612/texas-wesleyan-...
Keith Law
3:05
And there you go. I had a feeling they might, but I don't know that this was truly a firing offense. It's not comparable to saying you wouldn't recruit a Muslim or black or gay player.
Dave
3:06
You seem to think pretty highly of Luis Medina given his "sleeper" status. Do you think he'll have starter control/command as he matures?
Keith Law
3:06
I do. Hoping to see him this year at some point.
Humor me
3:06
In high school, I ran a 3.99 as a lefty from home to first. On the 20-80 scale, what is grade is that for speed?
Keith Law
3:06
About a 70.
ML
3:06
You a Denilson Lamet believer?  #2 potential?
Keith Law
3:06
No. LHB killed him last year.
Tim
3:06
Do you think Tim Beckham has finally figured it out?  Big league regular?
Keith Law
3:06
Great for two weeks after the trade, then back to normal.
MSS

Healthy lunches to eat in the office that aren't salad?
Keith Law
3:07
I eat yogurt with granola and fruit for lunch almost every day.
