He could go there, but I think that's too rich.

Swaggerty seemed to cooled off since a hot start.  Still a top guy? Any concerns?
Keith Law
2:19
Needs to start hitting again, but if he does, he goes top 5. True CF, 65 runner, few if any college bats in the middle of the field this year. That's going to run Joey Bart up the board, maybe to the top ten, because he's a catcher and there are so few college catchers in this draft.

Blake Swihart ...  Cora suggested he could be a Marwin-type for Bost., but that's not realistic, is it?
Keith Law
2:20
Why not? I think he can hit and play a bunch of positions.

If I invite you for dinner, I can work around no red meat. If someone else has a nut allergy, no problem. My son and his girlfriend are vegetarians; lots of cheese dishes. A vegan? We're just going to have coffee or tea 'cause I got nothing.
Keith Law
2:21
Vegan is tough. Losing dairy is a real obstacle, although I have eaten vegan meals with cashew-milk products replacing dairy that were actually good, not just passable.

Thoughts on the Pompeys: Does Dalton ever become a guy and where's Tristan getting picked?
Keith Law
2:21
Tristan somewhere in the 20-40 range. Dalton, ship might have sailed there.
Jim
2:22
**** you, Keith.
Keith Law
2:22
Aw, Jimbo's mad. Came to my chat, called me a "selfish coward," and is surprised I clapped back. Tough. You have every right to insult me, but that doesn't mean I have to take it.

After review, Conforto hit a 2R HR. Terry even more pissed.
Keith Law
2:24
You know who must be even happier that Terry the Terrible is gone? Plawecki. Terry told the media Plawecki couldn't hit. Now he's getting a chance to play and doesn't have to worry that his manager thinks he sucks.

Somebody tell Jim when the Self Righteous Vegetarian chat is.
Keith Law
2:26
There are good arguments for vegetarianism, from the environment to physical health to concerns about how animals raised for mass-produced meat are treated. I'm happy to hear & discuss those. I think that humanity as a whole needs to cut its meat consumption - and that climate change & limited water resources will force us to do so at some point. Reducing consumption & waste, and perhaps enforcing tougher standards for meat production - not under this administration, unfortunately - those are reasonable goals.

Real time news: Trayce Thompson joining A's in Anaheim. Is he a fourth OF? Or more?
Keith Law
2:27
Fourth OF. Can really defend, can crush a mistake.

Can you use frozen fish to make ceviche?
Keith Law
2:27
I've never made ceviche. I leave raw fish preparations to the professionals. They can source better than I can. (Also, I would not recommend using frozen fish.)

Thoughts on Reynaldo Lopez and his new velo/slider?
Keith Law
2:28
Lopez's new velo? Dude was 95-100 in the minors.
Colin
2:28
Preston Tucker or Nick Markakis?
Keith Law
2:28
Ronald Acuna.

OK, went long this week since I may be traveling next Thursday. Thank you all - except you, Jim, you're not very nice - for all of your questions and for reading. I'll be out and about a lot this month so I hope to see many of you at minor league or amateur games - feel free to say hi, and I'll be happy to sign any copies of Smart Baseball if you happen to have one with you.
