Their strongest affiliate for future talent.
Sally
1:37
How often do you and Chris Crawford hangout? Love you both on twitter
Keith Law
1:38
We've only hung out 2-3 times, but we talk online every day. Mostly baseball and movies but other stuff too. Great dude.
Robert
1:38
Does the uniqueness of Nick Madrigal's profile make him more difficult to assess as a prospect?
Keith Law
1:38
No.
Uli Jon

My friend is going to Gen Con.  Do you have an updated dining guide or just a few places you can recommend?
Keith Law
1:38
I eat at the food trucks that line up next to the convention center. There are some great ones - Keplinger's Fresh Catch is the first place I eat each year.
Feeling A Draft
1:39
Based on what you said about this coming year's draft on the BBTN podcast do you think it would be smart of teams at this year's trade deadline to try to acquire competitive balance picks?
Keith Law
1:39
For sure. But most teams want to retain those, so my guess is only 1-2 get moved.
BigDaddeh
1:39
Do you think the Mets success is going to lead to other teams using former agents as GMs?
Keith Law
1:39
(spit take)

Hey Keith - your love for Oreo's is well-known and righteous. I saw your tweet last night as I happened to be eating an Oreo Blizzard from Dairy Queen, and it got me wondering: any KLaw thoughts on Oreo Blizzards? Also if this question makes the chat, I'd just like to also announce that Oreo McFlurries are trash and don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Oreo Blizzards, thank you for your time.
Keith Law
1:39
I do love oreos mixed into ice cream. When I go to Culvers (rare, but I love it), my go-to is a chocolate concrete with oreos and pecans.
Bob Pollard
1:40
Sorry if you've addressed this (probably have many times), but where do you stand on "clutch is a myth/no it's real"?
Keith Law
1:40
It's a myth. I explain at length in Smart Baseball.
BigDaddeh

Is Nick Solak an every day guy one in the majors?
Keith Law
1:40
I'd bet the under.
Tom C
1:42
Why don't you think Adell will get called up this year? Setback because of his injury earlier this season? I was thinking maybe it could be like a Trout scenario where they call him up late and prep to be up for good next year.
Keith Law
1:42
He's barely played this year, and they'd be adding him to the 40-man before they needed to do so.
Andrew
1:43
Corbin Martin BB/9 at A and AA was 2.5, now this year 4.5 in AAA (was 5.5 w/ HOU).  Reason for concern or just growing pains?
Keith Law
1:43
Again, the ball in AAA is different than in AA.
Dave

What did you think when you heard that the Mets were having Rosario take reps in CF? I don't know what the heck happened to his defense at SS but it has been atrocious going on two years now. Do you think he could make a plus defensive CFer?
Keith Law
1:43
His regression on defense has to be laid on the coaching staff. I saw him in the minors, so did everyone else. Nobody had him playing like this.
Mat Ji
1:44
I'm old enough to remember back when Bauer was going to stop being an internet troll....way back in January of 2019.
Keith Law
1:45
He's gone out of his way to attack at least two women writers I know just since this season began. He can say whatever dumb shit he wants to me, but the story I heard the other day - I don't know if I can repeat any of this - is beyond trolling. Writers who continue to talk him up are just enabling him.
1:46
And, by the way, there are 750+ other players out there. I'm sure there's at least one more guy who is analytically-minded and focused on self-improvement through modern methods, and would be happy to talk about it on the record.
JP
1:46
Is Yamamoto a mid-rotation starter?
Keith Law
1:46
No.
alek
1:46
what is Alec Bohm's offensive potential
Keith Law
1:46
I think there's some middle-of-the-order potential there. He's 90% likely to do it at first base, though, and the Phillies have a pretty good one.
John
1:46
What's Luis Arraez's ceiling, everyday 2B? More likely outcome utility guy?
Keith Law
1:46
More likely utility guy but I wouldn't rule out everyday.
romorr
1:47
Adley to GCL to knock off rust, then to A-.  From press conference.
Keith Law
1:47
Yeah I don't see how that would mean he's not a fast mover ... why couldn't he start next year in AA?
Chris
1:47
Would you include C Will Smith in a trade for Felipe Rivero? What else would the Dodgers have to kick in?
Keith Law
1:48
I would not but I value relievers lower than the trade market seems to.
Mark
1:48
When do you think Luis Urias gets recalled?
Keith Law
1:48
I mean, he should have been up a month ago.
Jackson
1:48
Do you project Alzolay as a SP? Ceiling?
Keith Law
1:49
I think so, as long as he can get LHB out with the FB/CB (or his CH really improves).
