Pretty close overall but Franco offers more value beyond the batter's box while Vlad Jr had (has) the exceptional power.

What was your primary motivation to stop eating beef? Also, were there any noticeable acclimatization phases (good or bad) when you first made this dietary change – e.g. fitness level, weight gain/loss, digestion, general health, food budget, shopping habits, etc.?
Keith Law
1:21
My daughter and I have an inborn error of metabolism that (boring biochemistry stuff) makes it harder for us to digest red meat. I realize now in hindsight that I felt really crappy after eating beef in particular.

Are there any "obvious" sign under slot guys that you could see shaking up the top 10?  I know you mentioned a couple as it related to the Orioles first pick, but I was just curious if there were any others?
Keith Law
1:22
Jung may not be very under-slot but he was the one I had in the mock who's not top ten talent etc. but could go up there. I think the top ten go pretty chalk, but around the Phillies at 14 the potential for deals opens up a lot.
Marc

Should Pelosi move to impeach Trump and who should the Mets pick at 12? Also, can we get Kelenic back?
Keith Law
1:23
Yes, Manoah if he gets there (and he might), and sorry, no refunds.
Chuck
1:23
Mr. Klaw, your thoughts on the Carter Stewart news? Is MLB going to have to wake up and pay prospects what they're worth?
Keith Law
1:23
I don't think this moves the needle at all.
Shawn

Drew Rasmussen is flying up the Brewers system. Is he a top 100 prospect in the next re-tank and do you think he Starts long term or ends up in the bullpen (pen maybe this year?!)
Keith Law
1:23
Very few guys have two TJs and stay starters.
Pat

What has Matthew Boyd changed to all of a sudden become so good? Also, if you wereDetroit  would you trade him ? 3 1/2 yrs of control left, good fit for SD with that park?
Keith Law
1:24
Added a cutter and uses it a lot - as he should as his fastball was unplayable. Martin Perez has done the same this year. Add a pitch and, assuming it's good, you can become a totally different guy. Boyd wasn't even a fifth starter for me with his previous repertoire. Now he's a legit mid-rotation guy (and, apparently, a great, generous person, too).
Eric

did anyone project this kind of power from yelich? i'm a marlins fan, and his skillset was always pure hitting, but always felt he'd be capped at around 20HRs. this is incredible.
Keith Law
1:25
I think I'd projected 25+ from him when he was younger but I'm not totally sure. Of course everyone's hitting more HR now because of the juiced ball.
Tom
1:25
Have you seen or heard anything on Forrest Whitley to change your outlook on him? When healthy, could the Astros promote him to see what getting him out of that envirnoment does?
Keith Law
1:25
He's on the IL with a sore shoulder.
Ben
1:26
Any new articles can we expect to see from you these next couple days leading up to the draft? Thx
Keith Law
1:26
Next mock is Monday. If there's sufficient news before then, I'll write, but I'd rather hold smaller news back for the mock.
chauncey
1:27
what are your feelings on Andruw Vaughn?
Keith Law
1:27
I'm imagining this as Vaughn's bat and Andruw Jones' glove and that's like Mike Trout without the speed.
Jake
1:27
Do you see Witt Jr. as a no doubt SS or could he be moved around the diamond based on his athleticism?  CF?
Keith Law
1:27
He's a shortstop, that's no doubt.
Scott
1:28
Do you think there is a problem with the offensive explosion in the minor leagues, particularly the PCL? Can a team like Arizona accurately evaluate their players in Reno?
Keith Law
1:28
Yes, using the juiced ball in AAA has been a big mistake.
Harper's Socks
1:28
How likely is it that one of the big 6 hitters (Rutschman, Vaughn, Witt, Abrams, Greene, Bleday) is available for the Reds at 7? Who would be most likely to fall and why?
Keith Law
1:28
I think those guys go 1-6 in some order and the Reds take Lodolo or, failing that, Kirby.
Eric
1:28
have you read michael lewis' "the new risk?" even knowing that the government agencies under trump were bad, the amount of negligence to vital needs is still jarring.
Keith Law
1:29
No, because I think it's going to just make me more angry at the low-key damage being done to our society and economy in ways that don't make headlines.
ATL
1:29
You gotten any like at Dylan Carlson? Has he made any adjustments that could vault him into the top 100?
Keith Law
1:30
I'm a believer. I'd guess he'd make a revised top 100.
jeff
1:30
so i realize this injury is sort of murky for Correa, but is it fair to say injuries/durability are a real concern with him at this point?
Keith Law
1:30
He needs to come up with better injury excuses. Like, 'my fiancee and i were trying out the new trapeze in the bedroom and the rope snapped, i'll secure it better next time.'
Zac
1:30
On your prospect big board, there was a comment about Alex Manoah had no flaws in his delivery except he pitches out of the stretch every time, is that a knock against him for he doesn’t have a wind up so you don’t know if there are flaws?
Keith Law
1:31
It's a knock because it's atypical, but I don't see why it's actually bad.
Doug
1:31
Kimbrels market is going to explode once he loses the draft pick right?
Keith Law
1:31
I don't think so.
Kevinkyle

Keith, love your work, thanks for all you do. I always find something interesting in your music recs.  Have you ever spent any time listening to jazz or blues music?  I grew up on hard rock and metal and somehow ended up enjoying a lot of jazz.  Thanks again
Keith Law
1:31
I like it but don't really know it well.

Is Lucas Giolito for real? I want to believe. The truth is out there.
