I know your lukewarm on Sixto, but if he were to continue his path to potential of being an “ace” as some other scouts have claimed, what would you want to see from him this year?
Keith Law
3:07
I am not lukewarm on him. That's just ridiculous - look where I ranked the kid.
Sandy Kazmir

Are you of the opinion that it is more likely that a good contact batter can add power than a good power hitter can add contact or is it too much of an individual thing to generalize like this?
Keith Law
3:07
You're probably right that it's too individual, but I'll play along and pick the former over the latter.

Is there a data driven way to determine how much managers help or hurt a team? Is this something teams do in some way?  I think we all know managing a bullpen, not bunting etc helps but is there a way to rank managers?
Keith Law
3:07
I would bet teams track some of that stuff in ways we don't/can't.

What are your thoughts on the legacy game format in general?  As much as I love the concept, I'm still put off by the idea that I can't replay the game through once it's done.  Plus I would think it tanks resale value.
Keith Law

Charterstone has a recharge pack you can buy to start over on the second side, and then you can continue to play it more without the story part. That's part of its brilliance.

Keith Kristol's "question" reminds me of the quote from the Howard Stern movie, when the program director (when told that people who hated Stern listened longer than his fans), said, "If they hate him ... why do they listen?"

If they hate you keith ... why are they asking you questions and reading your content?
Keith Law
3:08
I will never, ever understand that.

Just a tip, here are three things you aren't changing very many people's minds on: politics, religion, sexual orientation. Just a tip from your friendly Blue Eye.
Keith Law
3:09
You'll notice I don't discuss religion ...  pretty much ever.
Dan

Any Southeast PA prospects to go watch?  Sianni, Helverson, Guilbe, Kelchner?
Keith Law
3:09
Siani for me - he's probably the only one I'll go see.
Craig

Ohtani is a bust! Look at his spring training stats. Only kidding but did you see or learn anything from watching him pitch that you didnt know?
Keith Law
3:12
I didn't watch. I'll go see him when I'm there - watching two tune-up innings from the CF camera isn't going to show me anything.

My doctor has talked to me about taking Lexapro for general anxiety. While I’d appreciate the relief, I’m worried about how much of my identity would be affected. I’ve dealt with anxiety all my life and worry that who I am as a person might change. From your experience did you feel like you “changed” when you started medication?
Keith Law
3:13
I did change, but only for the better. Hit me up offline if you have more questions - I took it for five years.
JJ
3:13
Did you make a "Best Picture" pick for this year, or do I have to listen to the podcast you mentioned at the top of the chat?
Keith Law
3:13
You can listen to that or wait for a post here on Sunday.

For the people crying about divisions--Central has Pirates and Reds; $100 says Phillies and Braves are better than both.
Keith Law
3:14
Probably true, although I wouldn't sleep on the Reds' pitching. Their bullpen could be tremendous.
Jeremy
3:15
When are you headed to Phoenix or Florida this year?
Keith Law
3:15
Phoenix first, but possibly detouring to Florida for a day to see a HS player, then Florida the 21-27 (I'm boxed in on both ends for that trip).
Paul
3:16
Do you think any of the remaining top free agents misses a significant amount of games from being unsigned?
Keith Law
3:16
It's inevitable, I think.
Jack
3:16
Do you ever encounter really talented players that just don't give a shit? I coach high school soccer and have a kid who could play professionally but he'd rather party. It's so aggravating to see someone waste their potential.
Keith Law
3:16
Yep. Donavan Tate comes to mind.
Dr. Bob
3:16
Could changing the launch angle of a hitter without natural power just turn bloop hits into fly outs? Launch angle is not the answer by itself, is it?
Keith Law
3:16
No, it's not. You'd better hit the ball hard first, and then work on launch angle.
3:17
OK, gotta run, sorry I'm missing so many more of your questions but I ran over to try to get to more. I'll be at Auburn tomorrow night, weather permitting on both ends of the trip, so if you're there feel free to say hi. Thank you as always for reading and chatting!
