Did Anthony Kay's stuff jump or something?
Keith Law
1:23
No, stuff was great last year too, but he tired a little bit and was also just back from TJ. Fully recovered now. Very promising.
TC

New Of Monsters and Men album coming soon. Have you heard the first single & have any thoughts on it?
Keith Law
1:23
Really liked it.
Arnold

The Giants top pitching prospect, Shaun Anderson, made a good debut the other day.  Is he good enough to be a top of the rotation starter or are we looking at #3 or #4 guy?
Keith Law
1:23
Back of the rotation.
Plz

Giolito. I want to believe but I've been hurt before. Can I embrace it yet?
Keith Law
1:24
I'm in, but then again, I've probably been his strongest advocate as a prospect.

Been thinking about the Ben Zobrist news, and how impossible it is to keep stuff private, people seem to love to consume the scandalous stuff, but does that mean someone has to provide it to them?
Keith Law
1:24
I don't think this should be any of our business whatsoever. If a player does something criminal, that's one thing, but the private lives of players should be off limits.
Jordan

Any chance Corbin Carroll falls to the Mets at #12?
Keith Law
1:25
Nonzero chance, but very unlikely IMO.
Andrew

Best way to cook a chicken spatchcock style with what seasonings?
Keith Law
1:25
Just salt it heavily, set it on a rack in the sheet pan, and pour water in the pan itself so you don't set off your smoke alarm.
Dave
1:25
When do you expect Baum (UNC) to come off the board? Been the Friday guy for UNC this year, shown good velo with a good chance but kinda lackluster off speed. That’s my .02 couch analysis
Keith Law
1:26
Third round ... I think? College arms may fly off the board this year because there are so few real first-round onezs.
Mike
1:26
Hey Keith, after viewing your top prospects for the upcoming MLB draft I noticed that Vanderbilt Ace Drake Fellows was not listed. Where would you rank him/ what round(s) (if any) would be the range for him?
Keith Law
1:26
Third to fifth rounds.
Dave

What makes the time travel in Doctor Who tolerable if it's a dealbreaker for you going to see Endgame? Asking as a fan of both
Keith Law
1:26
It's baked into the premise of Doctor Who. It was tacked on as a plot device in Endgame.
Doctor Who is a time traveler by definition. Same as Connie Willis' time travel novels - they are inherent to the stories.
Mike
1:27
How high are you on the bat of Dodgers Will Smith?
Keith Law
1:27
Above average regular if not more. I think the power he showed last year is real, the result of a tangible swing change.
JG
1:27
That Balazovic pick of yours is looking good. Kis has been nearly lights out
Keith Law
1:27
No, some guy on twitter told me I'm never right about anything.
Andrew
1:27
Does Triston Casas really have 70/80 raw power?
Keith Law
1:27
Not what I saw form him in HS.
Joe
1:28
What do you make of Christian Walker? I thought he was more of a AAAA type player going into this season and so far he has done way more than I expected. The .380 BABIP and 30% strikeout rate have me questioning how sustainable it is though.
Keith Law
1:28
It's not sustainable.
Mark
1:28
I suffer from depression and anxiety and I have a big problem with public speaking. Any ways to overcome this?
Keith Law
1:29
I'm not a therapist, and that's something you should discuss with yours ... but I can speak to my own experience, that I have found public speaking became easier with practice, and that I still experience a lot of anxiety right before starting that fades quickly once I'm in front of the crowd.
Ethan
1:29
Just a comment . . . I have learned a ton about baseball and other things from you.  And while I don't always agree with your stance(s) (I am a strong Christian), I will say that I am most impressed with you as a dad and your care for your daughter, especially as it is clear the high priority she is in your life.  I have an 11 y/o daughter dealing for the first time with some mental health stuff, and I think we need more dads like you.  Thanks!
Keith Law
1:30
Good luck to you and your daughter - it sounds like you're on top of it, and getting her real medical help now could avoid a lot of problems for her in her later teen years.
Tom

Hey Keith, it seems like the Orioles actually have some pitching talent in the minors.. Rodriguez, Hall, Kremer, Knight, Lowther, Akin, even Harvey.  Is that reason to be optimistic, or just wishful thinking?
Keith Law
1:30
I'll see Hall tonight, and have a post up on him, Kremer, Sedlock, and Bishop tomorrow or this weekend. I don't think all of those guys are starters, but they have some bulk pitching on the way.
Keith
1:30
Does Moncada being in the 99th percentile for exit velocity make you believe his production is sustainable? 3-4 WAR season?
Keith Law
1:32
I believe his ability to make hard contact is real, and that he'll continue to strike out at a rate that makes a WAR higher than that unlikely.
Andrew
1:32
Any 80 raw power guys in this year’s draft like Nolan Gorman was last year? How about 70-75 raw power guys? Your tools assessments on draft prospects is what helped me determine Nolan Gorman should be ahead of Casey Mize who’s been a stud.
Keith Law
1:32
I wouldn't put Gorman over Mize, FWIW. Hinds has 80 raw, and swings and misses more than Gorman. Bishop probably has 70+ raw. Bleday too.

First round in 2009 looks historically bad in retrospect.  Can you think of any worse?
