It's on my mind pretty often, but what's the solution?
Miguel
1:21
Is there going to be anyone for me to watch at Stanford next season?  Or, if I want to see some mlb prospects, should I just pick games to go based on which ACC team is in town?
Keith Law
1:21
Sasaki is worth going to see.
Jon

Do you think Jordan Walker will get back to the majors at some point this year?
Keith Law
1:21
Yes, but I'm starting to wonder about what's happening to some of the bats over there - he and Carlson in particular have stalled out. Two former top ten prospects and neither has progressed as expected.
Matt

Rece Hinds is having a great start, but considering his MiLB K rate, can he really be a MLB regular?
Keith Law
1:22
No.
Matt

It was 118+ degrees 4 days this week in Las Vegas. Call me crazy, but maybe we shouldn’t be building cities in these locations let alone move a f’ing MLB team there.
Keith Law
1:23
Agree. We should be providing people with an incentive to live elsewhere, or if they're in places like that to at least live in ways that are a little more sustainable (e.g., in Phoenix, incentivize residential construction near the light rail).

Is Matt Etzel a prospect? 10th round pick but promoted to AA faster than the 1st rounder at the same position. Thank you.
Keith Law
1:24
Sort of. Need to get his lower half involved more to drive the ball. Great athlete. Wrote about him in February and again in May.

At what point would you transition Waldrep into a relief role? He didn't get a lot of swing and misses in a small MLB sample, even with that split.
Keith Law
1:24
Uh, he's less than a year out of the draft.
Jimmy
1:24
whats the likely order for catchers to come off the board? Sounds like moore/janek then a gap to lomavita?
Keith Law
1:25
Yes and wouldn't be surprised to see Cozart get in there over Lomavita.

Who would you like to see replace Biden at the top of the ticket?
Keith Law
1:25
If they replace him, it's Harris or don't bother.
Greg
1:25
Who is a better long term player- Cowser or Kjerstad?
Keith Law
1:26
I have ranked Kjerstad higher since he came back from his illness/injuries. Cowser is a platoon bat at best, and he's been awful for three months now.

How would you fix Vance Honeycutt's swing?
Keith Law
1:26
What's wrong with his swing, exactly?
Jimmy
1:26
are there any players with medical concerns that may cause a small slide?
Keith Law
1:26
If I know any of that, I don't report it unless MLB has put it out there. I am not going to be responsible for a player sliding like that.

Quinn Mathews...A Guy?
Keith Law
1:27
Yes, if he holds up. Worked way too hard in college.
Guest

Is there a combination of Pirates minor league pitchers, not including Bubba Chandler, that gets an impact bat with some years of control back? Thinking guys like Harrington, Solomento, Burrows, and Ashcraft. Thank you!
Keith Law
1:27
No.
Mike Trout
1:27
Can Vientos be a solid regular at 3B? 1B? Not expecting a 154 wRC+ going forward but he's been fun to watch.
Keith Law
1:27
Yes.
Matthew

George klassan. Where the heck did he come from and do you think he’s for real?
Keith Law
1:28
I keep hearing reliever from scouts who've seen him but he's a very different guy than the one they drafted, who was misused at Minnesota.

Re: new dad. I have younger kids too, control what you can control.  We’re an adaptable species, we’ll be fine. Keep perspective that the news never reports the good things because it doesn’t sell. Everything will be alright.  People have been claiming the end of the world since forever.
Keith Law
1:28
Sometimes the world does end, so to speak. Dictators get elected. Stable countries collapse. Nothing is permanent.
Mucho

Does it seem like there’s any chance the M’s go hitter at 15, or is it basically down to Yesavage/Cijntje?
Keith Law
1:28
I keep hearing pitching for them.
1:29
Those are the main two names but there could be others.
Mike
1:29
From last year's draft, would your rather have Teel, who is doing well in AA and is a catcher, or Jenkins who has a higher upside, but is in low A ball? The scarcity of catchers seems makes me actually think this is closer than it likely is...thanks,
Keith Law
1:29
Pretty sure I had them ranked 6th and 5th, respectively, on draft day, so I'd say that's a toss-up.
Jeremy Haber

Are Jac C. and C. Condon destined to be 1Bs, and if so, why are they projected top-5 picks considering how that has gone recently (Vaughn, Torkelson)?
Keith Law
1:29
Please read what I wrote about Condon.
