I say yes. Could get two prospects for him, right?

Do you have any thoughts on the use of cbd to treat anxiety?
Keith Law

If you believe it works, go for it. Clinical evidence is lacking.

Best sophomore or 2020 draft eligible player in college baseball?
Keith Law
2:04
Lot of candidates. Two named Martin - Austin I mentioned, Robby at Florida State (whoops, see below). Torkelson. Wilcox and Hancock at Georgia, Wilcox better for me right now. Saw Mitch Abel at the Future Stars event in Arizona over Labor Day and he's a GUY. So is Zac Veen. JT Ginn is draft-eligible next year. I'm probably missing ten guys, too, since I don't typically look a year ahead - those are mostly guys I've seen myself plus a few I've heard about from scouts. It looks *loaded*.

"Gotcha" people might be the worst. I feel like they are very unhappy in their lives.

It's one of the worst parts of Twitter for me personally, although as a straight, white, cis male, I don't get a fraction of the abuse some other folks get. But still, if that's your instinct, to come be obnoxious to me because i didn't sufficiently praise your favorite team's prospect, save your breath.

My brother is very liberal and is all about letting his child make its own decisions (he gives the child clothes and toys targeted to both genders to play with). He wants to give his child the choice of whether he should be vaccinated. The child is almost 2 now. What is do you think is the best way to talk to discuss vaccination this with him without being offputting and infringing upon the child?
Keith Law

Point out to your brother that the child can only make that choice later if he's not dead.
Also, it's the fucking responsibility of a parent to make that choice.

Robby Martin is a freshman at FSU and not draft eligible until 2021
Keith Law

Yep, you're right, thanks. De Sedas too. Had Robby on the brain because I just edited the video I shot of him an hour ago. He can hit.

Very strange question but it is an issue I am thumbing through in my head.  I consider myself somewhat of a blend between a conservative and liberal whatever that really means today.  I believe in fiscal responsibility but I believe in investing in long term social programs that work to help those who need assistance.  I am pro-choice and believe governments shouldn't own our bodies.  However, in a certain sense, they do.  Prostitution is illegal.  Ingestion of certain drugs is illegal.  Mostly suicide and assisted suicide is illegal.  Selling a kidney to pay for a surgery to save your child's life is illegal.  Literally, the government (if they brought back the draft) could force you to fight and die for your country or otherwise jail you.  To me, the government clearly owns our bodies.  Based on that, although again I am very pro-choice for an individual even if my own personal choice is pro-life, why should abortion be legal when these other things aren't from an owning your body perspective.

The things you cite as illegal aren't signs that the government "owns our bodies" but that we have a 250-year history of legislating morality. Why shouldn't sex work be legal, as long as all parties are consenting? If we took the resources spent on arresting, trying, and imprisoning sex workers, and put that towards stopping sex trafficking, who would be worse off?

I read at the beginning of the season about Trejyn Fletcher maybe being a 1st rounder. Now I see he's maybe at the bottom of a top 100, if ranked at all. Did his move back to Maine cause the drop or something else?
Keith Law
2:08
He was never that kind of prospect. Not sure where that sort of hype started. Anyway, I think he ends up at school.

Does ASU have any legitimate MLB prospects on its roster besides Bishop?
Keith Law

Torkelson for next year. Marsh should go rounds 3-5 this year.
2:10
Time to wrap this up to write some things and also go out to dinner with my daughter - we are celebrating both of our birthdays tonight, since mine falls right before the draft (thanks, MLB) and hers was the night before my last trip and a crack-of-dawn flight. I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day weekend. Please don't drive if you drink, and if you drive, be extra careful on the roads. I'll be back with a mock draft Tuesday and another chat on Thursday. Thank you as always for reading.
