He's not eligible this year. He's eligible in 2022, and probably won't pitch at all that spring, so he might be a guy to watch for 2023.

Italy and Wales in the same group for Euros and you said you were with Wales when it's rugby.  Back with the Azzurri because it is soccer?
Keith Law

Yeah, I gotta back the blue this time.

Whens the Austin Riley apology essay dropping on The Athletic?
Keith Law
2:15
If Riley turns out to be an above-average regular, he'll make one of my year-end columns on players I got wrong ... but I'm not sure if it's smart to let about four good weeks outweigh about a season and a half of awful. I'd be ignoring an entire chapter of my own book.

The Red Sox just optioned Franchy Cordero to Triple-A. Do you think Duran is ready to be called up?
Keith Law
2:16
I do. And I'm all in on Duran's swing change and resulting power.

Chances Gabriel Moreno becomes a Dude?
Keith Law

Aside from catchers just generally getting hurt a lot, I think really high. He's probably their catcher of the future.

Some forgotten names Korry Howell and Cornelius Randolph are both off to hot starts and showing some power. Are they on your radar at all?
Keith Law
2:18
No, because it's less than a month. You have to wait on this stuff - it's even worse this year because of the altered schedules, so if you happen to have faced, say, a certain low-A team that can barely win a game, your stats might be skewed.

Since Will Craig is trending, why did the Pirates draft him in the first round? Didn’t seem like a good pick at the time and hasn’t panned out.

Never understood that one. Everyone knows Wake Forest is a bandbox and he didn't look like his power would play elsewhere.

OK, that's all for this week. Thanks for reading and for checking out my first mock draft over at the Athletic. I'll do another one of those in mid-June or so, then two more leading up to the draft. In the meantime I'll be back on the minor league beat more now that the high schools around here are wrapping up. Stay safe & go get vaccinated!
