Klawchat, 11/18/22.

You can see my writeup of four trades from earlier this week that came right before the 40-man deadline if you’re a subscriber to the Athletic.

Keith Law: When I get free, you won’t see me, here for dust. Klawchat.

Richard: Happy Thanksgiving Keith!!  Just a quickie:  with Jeremy Pena generally flying under the radar pre-season (not making the 100 prospects, etc…), was his strong season a credit to the major league staff, or rather he just wasn’t seen often enough by scouts in his brief minor league career?  Thanks!
Keith Law: I disagree with your premise. I had him second in the Astros’ system coming into the year and noted the jump in his exit velocities in 2021. He was hurt almost all of that season, though.

Signing Nimmo: It strikes me that Toronto wouldn’t have traded Hernandez without having a fairly certain replacement. Do you think they made the trade expecting to land Nimmo (he seems like the best fit) or do teams regularly gamble on this sort of thing?
Keith Law: I wonder if they believed Teoscar was more likely to repeat 2022 or regress and felt he wasn’t worth that expense given what else they could do with that cash in free agency or trade. He’s a solid player but hardly irreplaceable.

Signing Nimmo: Are Bellinger’s struggles mainly related to the shoulder injury or something else?
Keith Law: At this point, it seems odd to still blame the shoulder injury, but I suppose it’s possible.

TomBruno23: How can I enjoy the World Cup without thinking about how terrible Qatar and FIFA are?
Keith Law: You shouldn’t. I might watch a match or two, but my interest is low anyway with Italy out, and I won’t do anything to promote the event. The entire thing is repulsive.

addoeh: Any chance for a video chat, on whatever platform allows it, for your annual spatchcocking your turkey?
Keith Law: Yes, not sure when but I plan to carry on this annual tradition

The World’s Best Soundsystem: It seems like Miguel Vargas is going to get a legitimate shot to make the Dodgers roster out of Spring Training. Do you foresee anyone from the Busch-Pages-Outman-Amaya group getting regular ABs by mid season?
Keith Law: Busch seems like the closest/most likely of those four. Amaya’s not a regular, and I’m not sold on Outman as a regular given his swing and miss issues.

Noveau: Bit random, but putting aside the money they made, did the Upton brothers have disappointing careers?
Keith Law: I’d say so. Justin was done after age 30. How many highly athletic players like him are done that early without a catastrophic injury?

Jackie: When you BBWAA types gather in your secret clubhouse, do you ever question each other’s awards votes?  Do you go up to that one random voter who put Julio Urias 3rd on their ballot (and Daniel Bard 8th on the same ballot), and same, “Um, what?”   Or do you as a group just not care about the individual oddball votes, as long as the award ends up in the right place?
Keith Law: I care to some extent, like if a writer appears not to take his responsibility seriously, or has a history of favoring the home team (Tom Gage of Detroit, who of course won a Spink award, had Tigers atop his ballots several times when they were demonstrably not the best candidates). But  it’s not like we all see each other very often.

Jamie: What happened to Bobby Miller last year and has it affected the way you view his potential?
Keith Law: Um, nothing? what do you think happened to him?

KLB: Are you going to do a write-up of your NL ROY vote?
Keith Law: No, just because I had a couple of other things to write right as the award came out, and I’ve been busy with some family stuff. I had Strider over Harris because Strider’s season was so historic, but I have no issue with Harris winning.

PhillyJake: Pirates fan here.  Why does the owner of my team hate the the team?
Keith Law: Are you kidding? Bob Nutting loves the Pirates. He loves the free cash they generate even when they lose!

Sandra: Is AJ Preller’s approach going to lead to a sustainable contender or will shipping off every good prospect bite him in the ass by 2025?
Keith Law: Well, they contended in 2020, were in the race for a decent chunk of 2021, and then made the NLCS this year without their best player, so I’d say he’s already done that – but they could also hit a cliff in 2025 too.

Ray: Is Nick Gonzales the Pirates 2bman in 2023 and beyond?
Keith Law: I don’t think so.

Krontz: How do you think the Oakland stadium saga ends up?
Keith Law: In some way that screws over the taxpayers.

Moon Man: Do the Rays have significant lineup fixtures developing with Carson Williams and Mason Auer, or just some very smooth defense?
Keith Law: Auer has huge tools but I don’t think the contact skill is there to project him as a regular right now. Williams does too, but he was just 19 last year and he’s a shortstop, so he has a lot more time to improve and his position helps buoy his chances.

Guest: Hi Keith, thanks for the chat!  Seems the Mets really screwed up trading Endy Rodriguez for Joey Lucchesi.  Endy did not seem to be on anyone’s radar-was this a case of poor evaluation by the Mets?
Keith Law: Yes, it was a bad trade at the time that only looks worse now with Lucchesi getting hurt and Endy continuing to improve. He was enough of a prospect then that I praised the Pirates for snagging him in that deal (which sent Joe Musgrove to San Diego). I think Brodie just didn’t bother – he dealt prospects for big leaguers without regard to the relative values.

Mtd: Dave dombrowski calls you and makes you the GM starting now. What is your first player-related move you make?
Keith Law: They certainly don’t need me – they’re in very good hands with Sam Fuld. I’d say either work out an extension with Nola or go after Trea Turner or Xander Bogaerts to play 2b.

Bill: Dodgers have until 5pm today. What would you do with Bellinger
Keith Law: Seems like a non-tender.

seans: Keith, what are your thoughts on Colt Keith and his performance in AZ?
Keith Law: He wasn’t very good for me … still young, but I wish I’d seen more from him at the plate.

Chris: Given the way the relief market has progressed, do you think a reevaluation of the way teams value elite relievers may be in order?
Keith Law: Until I see evidence that elite relievers’ performances over multi-year periods have changed, no.

Adam D.: How surprising has it been to you to see Farhan and company consistently miss on high draft picks? His entire philosophy is built on being to able to supply the major league club with cheap, young talent while also using some of that talent to trade for stars. Instead, seemingly everyone outside of Kyle Harrison has either stalled big time or is so far away that it might not matter when they’re ready because this regime may be gone by then.
Keith Law: Casey Schmitt is in the plus column for them, and I know Patrick Bailey has had back issues, which are pretty detrimental for a catcher, but I agree their first-round picks have not been inspiring. They’re all college guys (okay) but after whiffing on Hunter Bishop, a high-ceiling guy with huge exit velos and swing and miss concerns, they’ve gone lower ceiling and have missed there too. This year was a change in direction again, as Reggie Crawford is a very high-risk, high-ceiling college LHP coming off TJ.

Moon Man: After Adley was ROY runner-up, do you think the Birds are inclined to break camp with G-Rod in the rotation to increase his chances of taking home the hardware and bagging the extra draft pick?
Keith Law: I don’t think so given how they slow-played his return from an oblique injury this year and didn’t call him up to the big leagues at all.

Ben (MN): The Twins CF was not great when Buxton was out and involved way too many Gilberto Celestino at bats. In a situation with an extremely injury prone player like that, what would be your approach to the backup CF spot? Would you plug in the next person up, prioritize a corner outfielder who can handle center for 60-80 games if needed, or something else?
Keith Law: I like your second idea, getting a COF who can handle CF.

Tom: Keith, Nats SP Jake Irvin was recently described by Eric Longenhagen as a mid rotation SP and a 45FV. How do you evaluate him?
Keith Law: I’m quite a bit lower on him. Saw him in April, below average command and really scary arm action.

HH: Off-season reminder: the Australian Baseball League is up and running, and streams most of their games for free on YouTube. Witness the birth of a new market. Go Perth Heat.
Keith Law: Great tip.

Tom: Who should wsh draft with the first pick in rule 5 draft
Keith Law: No idea. I hate the rule 5 draft. The CBA in 2010 gutted it and the MLBPA missed a chance to fight for players’ rights. The available player pool has very few prospects in it and the results are even worse – in the last three rule 5 drafts, I think the only decent big leaguer has been Garrett Whitlock. Akil Baddoo had one okay season and then was awful in season 2; a team with a better system probably would have outrighted him by now.

Ben (MN): I went on a trip to Ireland this spring and went on an Irish literature kick after visiting the Irish writer’s museum. I’ve especially enjoyed reading modern Irish authors like Kevin Barry. Do you recommend any Irish authors other than the obvious ones (Joyce, Wilde, Shaw, etc.).
Keith Law: David Mitchell, Flann O’Brien, John Banville. Plus Anna Burns’s Milkman.

Chris: The Astros’ farm system has been ranked by many outlets as being a bottom-five system the last few years, yet they continue to produce home-grown talent? Is there anything you have seen in their graduated prospects you think you (or any other pundits) missed while they were in the minors?
Keith Law: Who have they produced other than Peña in the last two years? It’s a lot of guys who were already up and then improved in the majors, which is still a credit to the org but doesn’t impact their rankings in any of our eyes – Framber Valdez is a great development story, but he hasn’t counted as part of their farm system since the 2019 rankings.

Christian (Raleigh, NC): Hi Keith — As a fellow Agatha Christie enthusiast, I appreciate your review of ‘See How They Run’ and hope to see it soon. I am very much looking forward to ‘Glass Onion’ as well. Do you think we will see more of the classic-style whodunits in theaters and/or on TV given the success of  movies like Knives Out, etc.? I would definitely watch…
Keith Law: Yes, absolutely. The American movie industry is as risk-averse as it comes. If the budget is more than a few pennies, the movie has to be a reboot, a sequel, or a knockoff of something else successful. Or by Jordan Peele.

Josh: Of all the shortstops do you believe that Correa will age the best?
Keith Law: Yes. Helps that he’s the youngest.
Keith Law: If you give him and Judge deals of the same length – say, 8 years – you’re getting both of their age 31-35 years, but you’re getting Correa’s age 28-30 seasons and Judge’s age 36-38 seasons.

Don Keedic: Who is the bigger injury risk: Rodon or Nimmo?
Keith Law: Oh Rodón, for sure. He’s a pitcher.

Mike: After seeing his rookie year, how likely is it that Oneil Cruz reaches his ceiling? And what would that look like? Seemed like he started making adjustments towards the end of the year, giving me hope he won’t be a .200 hitter
Keith Law: He was good enough in the minors that I am not less bullish on him now after a partial season in the majors that had some very high points amidst the struggles.

Samwise: Given that players on megadeals mostly aren’t worth the amount they’re paid in their final years, but also that you’re not going to land one without a willingness to commit those extra years – how far would you be comfortable going on Judge (if you had the money/need)?  Six years at a high AAV, understanding that the last 2 might be rough?  Seven?
Keith Law: I’m fine with six years with that understanding. It’s the talk of eight to ten years that makes me roll my eyes. That’s talk -radio stuff.

Prospect hound: What are your current thoughts about Matt McLain?  Average gonna be there?  Can he be above avg reg?
Keith Law: Fringe regular at this point. Not enough impact and definitely not a SS.

Francis Ford Coppola: You’re not a huge fan of my first two “The Godfather” films? I believe they’re not on your list of the top movies from the 1970s.
Keith Law: I don’t recall ever posting a list of my favorite movies of the 1970s.

Baseball: It’s Fun!: Many predictions see Adam Macko as a future lockdown reliever. What in particular holds him back from being a starter, besides durability? Is it something mechanical you think the Blue Jays (who seem to view him as a starter) could unlock, or is relief a surer bet?
Keith Law: Durability is by far the biggest reason. I also don’t think he has the command.

Jim: Keith, thanks as always.  Any thoughts (or care) about who’s going to be the House Minority leader?  (And nice shade by Pelosi saying she served under 4 Presidents when it’s been since Clinton…)
Keith Law: I’m glad it will be someone under 60.

Jay: Should the Angels trade Ohtani this winter?  I don’t see a realistic way they’re contenders  in 2023, and he seems like a guy looking to bolt for more successful pastures.  I can’t fathom what a reasonable return for him would be.
Keith Law: They should, but they won’t. I did hear, sort of third-hand, that he produces so much revenue for the team that no trade could make financial sense for them. And I believe that.

Gandalf: Who are a couple injury-prone or injury-history free agents that you see as a good gamble for 2023?  Heaney, Conforto, Brantley?
Keith Law: Yep, all three were on my top 50 free agents ranking. Conforto does worry me with his lower exit velocities in 2021 … this was a guy who needed a bit better contact quality, not worse.

Alex: No surprise Joc accepted the Giants QO but how surprised were you they offered him one?  They must think we no shifts allowed next year his production is going to go way up.
Keith Law: Maybe they just valued him as close to the QO number and preferred the devil they knew on a one-year deal than perhaps having to replace him with someone else on a two- or three-year deal without getting any more production.

Heather: Any red flags you see in Triston Casas, or should the Red Sox pencil him in for 150 games at first base next year?
Keith Law: I think he should get the majority of starts at 1b next year.

Gary R: Genuinely not trying to be a jerk, but how do you reconcile “I might watch a match or two” and “the entire thing is repulsive”? I ask because I am personally torn – I want to watch but it seems like tuning into any matches is just giving them my support in a small way.
Keith Law: What does me watching, say, the Wales-U.S. match (important in this household) do to support the World Cup? Very little. And once those teams are out I doubt I’ll watch another minute.

John: Sad news about Seth Romero.   Given that his curveball was once ++, will someone take a chance on him since it was “only” alcohol and weed?
Keith Law: His curveball wasn’t ++. His changeup was. He struggled with the breaking ball, and with control, and of course off the field. I don’t think he gets another chance until he shows some evidence that he’s willing to undertake major changes in his life. I hope he does so.

J.D.: After allowing Tyler Anderson to leave, are the Dodgers OK with what they have or do they need to go out and sign a good starter?
Keith Law: I bet they go sign someone.

chauncey: you opinion on the mlb award winners?
Keith Law: I think those were my choices for everything but NL RoY (ironic, since I actually voted on that), and I said above I’m totally fine with it. I don’t care about MoY. That’s just whoever ran a team that won more regular season games than expected.

HH: Why don’t more teams try to do what Cleveland did with Tony Wolters and try to convert more blocked prospects to catcher? Cleveland alone has a glut in IF, why wouldn’t they try again?
Keith Law: I don’t have a great feel for why more teams don’t do it other than perhaps risk aversion (don’t want to screw up a good prospect?). Wolters is a great example because he had a MLB career only because they converted him.

Heather: Any predictions on the upcoming “Contemporary HOF” vote next month?  Do Bonds/Clemens peers care less about the PED issues?  Any chance the committee says, “Yeah, all eight of these guys were a lot better than Harold F. Baines, so they all get in”?
Keith Law: I doubt Bonds/Clemens get in. I’m still fuming that Whitaker isn’t even on the ballot. It’s a fucking joke.

Jack: Hey Keith.  Love your chats. Do you believe Tatis when he says he got clostebol from ringworm medication?
Keith Law: I do not.
Keith Law: I’ve had ringworm, because I like to garden. It’s really annoying. It’s also easily treated with an antifungal.

Jamie O: If Jake Eder survives TJ, how high is his ceiling?
Keith Law: Mid-rotation starter, maybe more.

Villepont: Which top prospects with the shine worn off are prime for a change-of-scenery trade?  Kelenic, Adell, Robles?
Keith Law: I read Adell as “Adley” at first and was like, whoa, what did I miss
Keith Law: Those are all good choices although I think Kelenic can and will improve in Seattle. Forrest Whitley, maybe? Senzel comes to mind but I don’t know that changing orgs will do anything for him.

Paco: Hola desde España! f you could use statcast on any ballplayers of yesterday, who and what would you want to see? I’ve always
Keith Law: Willie Mays is the easy choice, no? Sprint speed and exit velocity?

Romorr: I know it’s hard to put a successful off-season on money spent. But with Elias saying it’s liftoff from here, and a payroll of 41 million heading into 2023, what is the least amount of money spent for this to be considered a successful off-season in Oriole land?
Keith Law: Really depends on who they get. They could spend a lot of money for limited return.

Holly: The worst Christmas song of all time (besides Christmas shoes) is?
Keith Law: “Step Into Christmas” or “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time.” Both make me want to clean my ears with Brillo pads.

Jesse B: What are you thoughts on Daniel Lynch at this point? Does he still have a decent upside or backend starter?
Keith Law: He seems like job 1 for the new coaching staff in KC. They have had way too many top-flight pitching prospects fail to launch after reaching the majors. I think the new regime & pitching coach will at least help one or two of that group figure it out, and Lynch seems like the best bet, as he was the best prospect coming up and has the best arsenal right now.

Jay: Ten and a half months, and counting, left in the Chaim Bloom Era in Boston.  Are you as giddy with anticipation as New England is for the first Monday after the 2023 season?
Keith Law: No, but I’m not delusional.

Jamie: I guess I just meant statistically it didn’t seem like he had the great year that was expected. But I also wasn’t exactly watching his starts.
Keith Law: re Bobby Miller? He struck out over 30% of batters faced in AA and AAA with low walk rates and acceptable HR rates. I’m not sure what you’re seeing here but he’s fine.

Alex in Austin: If you had to pick one from this group for next year, who would you take: Gunnar Henderson, Josh Jung, Nolan Gorman.
Keith Law: Henderson.

Guest: Can you think of any logical reason to add a player to your 40-man ahead of the Rule5 draft who’s never played above A-ball?  Asking for my friend, Mike Rizzo, GM of the Nationals…
Keith Law: Because you believe someone else might select him and try to keep him.

Marani: Thanksgiving’s cool.  What’s your dumbest American holiday?  I have to go with “St. Patrick’s Day”.  What’s the point?
Keith Law: As someone with a bit of Irish heritage, I have zero interest in St. Patrick’s Day, also known as “Amateur Night.”

Tim: Isnt every elite reliever a failed starter?  Seems like if you can get 5-6 innings out of a guy vs. 1 inning per appearance you would every time.
Keith Law: Yes.

Salami Iconic: I know your feelings about Volpe but am not sure I have a clear understanding of how you view Oswald and Oswaldo- potential above-average regulars?
Keith Law: Cabrera no, Peraza maybe.

Kevin: What would you do to change the MLB offseason to make it more condensed like the other pro sports? I feel like if the MLB offseason ended by Xmas would be ideal as then you get football playoffs up to when pitchers and catchers report
Keith Law: I think an artificial deadline like that might only help owners, and I don’t want to do anything to help owners. They are doing just fine on their own.

Josh: Are you going to write up the Sea-Ari trade from yesterday? Would love your take
Keith Law: Probably not. Lewis has pretty much zero history of staying healthy and all the missed time has hurt him at the plate too. I’d rather have Hummel.

RAWagman: Klaw – as Twitter continues its rapid descent into hateful chaos, do you plan to run newsletters more often, or switch to posting your thoughts on a different platform?
Keith Law: I’ll stay there while it’s up, but I just sent out another newsletter today (it’s free! sign up here) and I’m on a few other sites as we wait to see what happens.

Finnegan: Garrett Whitlock is often cited on Red Sox message boards as being Chaim Bloom’s “best” move.  What am I missing?  I’m seeing an injury-prone middle reliever with vaguely above-average stuff.
Keith Law: Got 4+ WAR in two years for $50K and took a reliever from their direct rival. Nice move, no?

Ray: will Dalton Rushing stay at C! And where should he start the 2023 season? He tore up Low A.
Keith Law: Yes, and double A.

Anthony: I think Sox need to make Devers their best offer now and if he doesn’t accept trade him.They cannot afford to lose him next year for a draft pick.What say You?
Keith Law: Sure. I guess you could trade him in July, too.

Dr. Rich: Is Brent Rooker a pick up of note for rebuilding A’s or just another in a revolving door of 40 man COFs in the last 12 months?
Keith Law: I like Rooker for what he is but he is a stretch for everyday duty. Great Twitter follow, though.

Campbell: Now that he’s finally (fingers crossed) gone, what will you miss most about Tony LaRussa?
Keith Law: The easy to mock in-game strategic blunders?

Michael: Is Matt Mervis going to be Bryan LaHair 2.0? Or is he just a late bloomer because Duke had him pitch?
Keith Law: LaHair was nothing at all, and I don’t Mervis is that. Calling him a late bloomer is a bit of wishful thinking, though.

Quinn: Any plans to review Tár or Armageddon Time?
Keith Law: Yes but I have to see them first.
Keith Law: I have a policy of not reviewing movies until I see them. It’s an integrity thing.

CW: Lucchesi was traded by the sex pest, not Brodie.
Keith Law: Ah, thank you.

vogslaw: Wasn’t Trevor Stephan a Rule 5 success for the Guardians?
Keith Law: If that’s a success, it proves my point. He’s a solid but replaceable middle reliever. That’s what you get in the rule 5 draft.

Kevin: most overrated traditional thanksgiving dish? For me, it’s the turkey, better cold on a sandwich.
Keith Law: Longtime readers know I hate the gloppy gooey mess of green bean casserole. I also really don’t like any traditional sweet potato dish … they’re already sweet, why the fuck did you put brown sugar in there? And marshmallows? Are you eight years old? They’re a root vegetable, not Lucky Charms. Just double the stuffing and move on already.

Moe Mentum: Scott Kingery – what happened, and what’s next?
Keith Law: Phillies messed with his swing and he’s never quite been the same.

Caleb: Will be playing 7 Wonders for the first time this weekend.  Any advice for a newb?
Keith Law: It can be intimidating because there is so much to track on the cards. The main advice I’d have is try to balance your card plays so you have access to all six of the game’s resources by the end of Age II, either on brown/gray cards you played yourself or via yellow cards that let you ‘buy’ them from your two neighboring players.

Moe Mentum: I’ve never read an Agatha Christie novel. Where do I start?
Keith Law: Death on the Nile. I think that’s the first Poirot novel.’

Tom: What would you think of a Gallen, Kelly, Jameson, Nelson, and Pfaadt rotation?
Keith Law: Solid, but you might need a little more in that division. I’m not totally sure Jameson’s a starter although I’d start him out there.

Guest: Is Austin Wells a candidate to play C/1B for the Yankees this year? Do you think they’ll give him time at other positions this year for a multi-positional role?
Keith Law: I do not think he can catch on more than an emergency basis in the majors.

alex: DL Hall more likely long term, starter or reliever? Any comps based on stuff + lack of command recently?
Keith Law: I will continue to bet on his athleticism and that his command will improve. It’s not “recently,” as he’s had command and control issues since high school, but he went from a 15.6% walk rate in high A in 2019 to a 13.4% walk rate between AAA and the majors last year.

Guest: Is the Martian on the radar to contribute next season? He’ll enter this season with about 100 PA between AA and the AFL
Keith Law: Maybe in September.

Ken: Billy Beane moving to a “senior advisor” role for the A’s. Does this mean he’s basically one-day-a-week consultant? Any meaning for staying in Oakland versus moving to Vegas?
Keith Law: I don’t think this is any real change.

Ken from Entertainment 720: I know Clayton Beeter is a 50 grade on MLB.  Does he have top 3 upside or is he a 4/5 guy?  Also who is the  most likely prospect to end up at first base in the current Yankee system?
Keith Law: Durability & questions about third pitch make me think back end starter.

Jack: You don’t think Harris deserved NL ROY?
Keith Law: I said twice that I thought he was deserving.

David: Do you ever feel like there are too many books and not enough time? I have a list of things I want to read and every time I finish one I feel like I’ve added four more.
Keith Law: Always. I think I have 20-25 in my queue right now. Currently reading Nadine Gordimer’s The Conservationist, which I got for like £3 at a used books stall in Cardiff in August.
Keith Law: I do tend to read books in the order in which I got them, especially physical ones since it’s like a FIFO queue in real life.

Clay, Rutherford: Are you excited that the WBC is returning in the spring?
Keith Law: I am. I think it’s great for the sport.
Keith Law: Very much rooting for Team Czechia.

Appa Yip Yip: The Jays added Spencer Horwitz to their roster. Do you think he has a big league future? Can he stand in LF and not look foolish?
Keith Law: Tough choice there – if they didn’t protect him, someone takes him, but I think he’s an emergency call-up guy. No position, nowhere near the bat for a DH/1B type.

Greasy Nick: Would you rather work in a fine dining kitchen or an MLB front office?
Keith Law: I’m only qualified for one of those jobs.

Ken: Is there a reason that posters keep using Bloom’s full name when asking you about him?
Keith Law: I can’t possibly imagine what you mean…

BK: Kevin Smith had a rough year in his first season in Oakland. Do you see him bouncing back as the regular at third or will he fill more of a utility role?
Keith Law: Still buying.

davealden53: Question about the Tyler Anderson signing.  With the Dodgers’ qualifying offer of $19.65M, Anderson only needed to earn $10M each in 2024 and 2025 to exceed the deal he signed with the Angels.  That would seem a fairly low hurdle.  Does this imply that Anderson is risk-averse or is stability worth the potential lost income?
Keith Law: If you had his injury history, with just one good year since ~2017, wouldn’t you lock in the extra $20 million guaranteed?
Keith Law: I think it’s very rational.

James: What is the greatest individual tool you have ever scouted.  Like for example amateur Bryce Harper power
Keith Law: Joey Gallo’s power.

Old Hoss Radbourn: With twitter coming to an end, should we admit we are the same person?
Keith Law: We take this to our grave(s).
Keith Law: OK, that’s all for today. Keep an eye out … um, somewhere, maybe Twitter, but IG Live if Twitter isn’t functioning, probably on Wednesday as I take your questions while spatchcocking our turkey. Thanks as always for reading and following. Have a wonderful holiday!
