What does Kahlil Watson have to do to make it back to your top100 list in 2024?
Keith Law
1:51
Make a LOT more contact, and probably avoid any on-field conflict.

Is DL Hall ever a quality MLB starter?
Keith Law
1:51
Has the stuff. Has to throw more strikes. He's too damn athletic not to figure this out.

Strasburg vs. Cole vs. Skenes as a college pitching prospect?
Keith Law
1:52
I'll see Skenes later this month, but Strasburg was the best I've seen, and was slightly ahead of Cole. Strasburg showed you four pitches and the fastball played. Cole was more three pitches, but he'd get hit on the fastball more (and Savage called it too often).

Does anyone currently playing specifically stand out to you as someone has reached their "everything goes right" ceiling?
Keith Law
1:53
I think that's true of a lot of the guys I got wrong over the years, or guys like Arenado and Betts who just blew past even pretty favorable evaluations when young.

If game times stay shorter (fingers crossed) do you see teams moving game start times around, maybe pushing start times back 30 minutes?  And who will be the first owner to gripe about food and beverage sales being down since games tend to be shorter?
Keith Law
1:54
Aren't the start times about selling commercials early in the game?
Manfred claimed yesterday that concession sales aren't down even with reduced game times. I don't really care if I get home 20-30 minutes sooner without losing any baseball.

Is it too early to proclaim Miguel Vargas the next Ed Yost?
Keith Law
1:55
It is pretty impressive that he's become this patient (SSS) this quickly.
Chris

Why would the Yanks keep Franchy over Florial?  While theres no evidence Florial can hit, he has speed and defense.  We know for a fact Franchy has none of the three.  Is it simply a matter of him having an option for when Bader comes back?
Keith Law
1:56
Honest question - is it likely to matter? If either guy is playing often for you, something has gone seriously awry.
Heather

As a HOF voter, do you think the Baseball Hall of Fame has lost its luster?  It feels like every decent player eventually gets in these days.  The other night, on MLB Network, I actually heard Dan Plesac and the guys beside him start to make a case of John Olerud's candidacy.
Keith Law
1:56
Yes, I think it's lost its luster for many reasons. The various vets committees letting in guys like Baines and Morris have made it a bit of a farce.
