  1. sigh. I don't understand this at all. sigh.
  2. So. uh. Kepler sits and Rosario plays from now on vs Lefties? I may have missed it, but that seem the trend. It is a trend I do NOT endorse.
  3. His supporters don't care about the rule of law, let's just be clear on that.
  4. good point on the minors maybe being different. I had not thought of that. Would be interesting to know!
  5. Kevin 1:36 Who is the first big leaguer from the 2017 draft class? Thanks for your time. Enjoyed your book! Keith Law 1:36 I think McKay could appear this year as a LHS if someone wanted to move him fast.
  6. and here you go! (he must get a lot of questions, I think I asked this an hour before he started his chat, and it was 30+ minutes in before he answered!) mike sixel 1:33 No Sam Carlson in your mock, unless I missed it. You don't think he's one of the top players, or he's not tied to any teams? Keith Law 1:34 I ranked him in the top 20. I just don't think he's that likely to go in the first. He might be a sandwich/second-round overpay to buy him out of a good college (Florida) commitment, like Joey Wentz or Kevin Gowdy last year.
  7. Rarely, and usually only in the car.....my wife is a great singer, and my sons could just do it from birth (though who knows now, haven't heard them in years). Pretty much if your last name is Sixel, you struggle to sing (that's based on comments/experience from cousins too).
  8. Nick 1:18 Buxton has been putting together some pretty solid ABs lately. It's a low bar, but how long do you think it takes before he gets his AVG into the .220s and OBP in the .320s? Keith Law 1:18 Aaron Gleeman's been ... um ... gleefully tweeted about Buxton's rise. After the first 50 or so AB, Buxton's been on fire with more BB and fewer K. I would bet on him keeping it up.
  9. man, if only a whole thread existed on this topic!
  10. Andy 1:16 Knowing that you think he's the #1 talent, would you pick Greene #1 if you were the Twins GM? While there's risk no matter who you pick, a HS RHP with huge velocity has more red flags than other categories. Keith Law 1:17 No, I think a college 1b without another position has more red flags. The history of that profile is god-awful. I'd take Greene. edit: I'm not sure what that means, other than he'd take Greene....though I guess he gave another category of red flags, now that i think about it, so I do know what it means.
  11. sure, anyone can do anything, some just do it MUCH better than others.....trust me on this. Right now, I'm not a good singer.
  12. Dana 1:15 Has Aaron Hicks finally figured it all out? Keith Law 1:15 I want this to be true. It's just too small a sample to say, but boy does it look like he's rewarding my faith in him.
  13. buying stocks is stupid. Buy funds. Nonetheless, I persist....
  14. GS (Minneapolis) 1:10 My heart loves Miguel Sano while my head loved Max Kepler. Kepler seems so well-rounded to me and I think his net value is under appreciated by Twins fans. Well he develop 30 hr power? Keith Law 1:11 Kepler? I'd say 20+, 30 is not impossible but not likely.
  15. Eli 1:09 Where would Seth Romero rank on talent alone? How far do you see off-field concerns dropping him? Keith Law 1:10 He would have gone in the first, I would have ranked him more towards the second (it's not a good delivery), and I think he now goes second or third with a significant discount. Getting in a fight with a teammate on top of a mountain of previous incidents tells me either he's got a real mental illness or he's totally irresponsible.
  16. I don't know, but I love Shopify's moat. That's my favorite part of them, and their mgmt seems to be smart.
  17. if you ignore inherited runners and other things, and look at ERA.....do people look at ERA for RPs?
  18. ha! https://www.fool.com/investing/2017/05/09/better-buy-shopify-inc-us-vs-square-inc.aspx I have not read this....but here is one person's thoughts!
  19. We use square in our business....
  20. I tweeted KLAW about his preference (don't expect an answer) and asked on his chat about Carlson.....I'll let you know if/what he says.
  21. given their decisions lately, I'm not sure I love this as much as I used to, frankly.
  22. I just hope he plays in at least one MLB game, so he gets the insurance. they get insurance right? Seriously, if I ran a team, I'd call up every guy that spent years in my system for at least 1 day in September.
  23. KLAW does not have Sam Carlson in his first round. I will ask about that on his chat today....
  24. There is only one reason to watch any Underworld movies, and if you can't see her, well.....
