what would you do if you were the cardinals gm.  I would trade em all and start over.  Goldy and Arenado included
Keith Law
1:21
I would have at least put their names out there in July, and would do the same this winter.
Alex

Curious why you think Kevin Alcantara has fallen off for so many? Seems like he’s proven himself pretty well after struggling the first month or so.
Keith Law
1:21
I don't know - I remain extremely high on him.
Erwin
1:21
What do you make of Henry Davis?  Promoted too soon?  Future position?
Keith Law
1:21
Not concerned about the bat. I wish he were catching but they have Endy too and there aren't enough AB for both.
Mike
1:21
Concern for Robert Hassell given his struggles?
Keith Law
1:22
Saw him Tuesday. Really needs to get stronger.

In the wake of Bloom's firing, how much longer do you think the Giants should give Farhan? I'm of the opinion that he should get at least 3 more years to prove out the farm system improvements, but it seems many among the fanbase want him gone ASAP.
Keith Law
1:23
Owners/execs who let fan sentiment sway them are destined to make bad decisions. The Giants are also heading in the right direction, albeit more slowly than I'd thought a year or so ago.

Do you think Max Fried will ultimately leave like Freeman and Swanson? Should they ride it out, hope for a awesome walk year, or should they explore what they could get in return for 1 year of Max on the trade market?
Keith Law
1:23
If they're not planning to sign him, they should probably shop him, but I'd be inclined to go long-term with him.
Check our the Herz while DJ revolves it
1:23
Did Mike Rizzo just Tanner Roark the Cubs?
Keith Law
1:23
Is that about Herz? I don't think so.
Mike

Why are so many people giving cherington a pass? Hes had 4 years and inherited a solid core. How much longer would you give him?
Keith Law
1:23
He inherited a solid core? News to me.
Marani

The Red Sox fire GMs on a weekly basis, but Brian Cashman has more job security than Clarence Thomas.  Sometimes, I miss George Steinbrenner.
Keith Law
1:24
Check Cashman's flight records.
Bill

Is Spencer Torkelson finally over the hump? He's had a very productive second half not only with HRs but drawing walks, and he looks more comfortable at the plate.
Keith Law
1:24
Yes.
Bret

Hey Keith. Was Richie Palacios ever a prospect of note moving through the Indians system? Does he have any chance of being a MLB level 4th OF'er/utility guy moving forward?
Keith Law
1:24
Yes and yes. Limited ceiling but I really liked him for what he was.
Dave
1:24
Did you see the announcement for Apiary? Looks pretty amazing.
Keith Law
1:25
Yes and I put in for a review copy (Jamey's very good about that but I know there are only so many to go around).
Jay
1:25
Jett Williams .. how high could you see him rising in your prospect rankings? He has seemed to have gotten better and better
Keith Law
1:25
I'm a fan. Mets keep drafting well even when other things are going wrong for them.
Dan

CJ Abrams is a stud that will make Nats fans forget about Trea Turner. True or Truer?
Keith Law
1:25
Abrams is going to be a very, very good player, and will not make Nats fans forget about Trea Turner.
Rappa
1:26
I am very disappointed in you KLaw. In your defense of Deleware as a state, you overlooked it's greatest invention: Scrapple. A scrapple-egg-and-cheese bagel is a big slice of Heaven.
Keith Law
1:26
I have never eaten scrapple because I know what's in it.
Chris

Does the authority someone gets from expertise make their opinions worth more? Many people cite arguing from authority as a logical fallacy, and obviously not all authority and expertise are equal, but how do you determine the fallacy from actual authority?
Keith Law
1:27
The fallacy is saying that someone's expertise/position makes their arguments correct. It is not a fallacy to give their arguments more consideration, or to make their background one small part of a larger evidence-based argument.
Jeff

How should the BlueJays manage Alek Manoah this offseason?  Is he tradeable? hang on in hopes of a rebound? or a sunk cost?
Keith Law
1:28
The real answer to that depends on what is actually ailing him, and I don't think we know that.
Kip
1:29
How do view Jhancarlos Lara’s upside after this minor league season?
Keith Law
1:30
Good delivery, looks like two good pitches, some issues with LHB even at a low level this year. Intriguing arm with starter potential.
Jason rogers
1:30
Do you think the pitch clock is adding to pitcher injuries or is this just the new normal with pitchers
Keith Law
1:30
The rise in elbow injuries predates the pitch clock. It may be exacerbating the ongoing trend, but it didn't cause it.
John

What position do you see Tyler Black playing if he’s on the Brewers opening day roster next season?
Keith Law
1:30
Third base?
