How do you feel about the Cardinals' punishment? Just right, not enough, too much? Also, where were YOU during the Bowling Green Massacre?

Does Joey Gallo still have former top 20 prospect value? Do you think TX is / has mis-handled him or he still has a shot?

First of all I want to thank you for what you're doing on Twitter. Most people with your type of platform don't advocate. Spreading the message of resistance is very important. My question is do you think that the Cubs' starting rotation in 2020 could be Hendricks, Cease, Clifton, Monty, and de la Cruz?

Keith, thanks for all the work you put into your rankings, etc. For Sandy Alcantara, is the development of a breaking ball what determines if he will be a reliever or starter for you? Can he be a No. 2?

Best guess...does StL get Cordoba back from Padres?

Who was your "gateway" band into grindcore? Did you tell us once it was Pitch Shifter?

I see all types of people on the internet stating that surely Trump won't last four years. As someone with a grounded viewpoint, do you see this as hyperbole or an actual inevitability?

Keith, I want to thank you for all the hard work you do to deliver the prospect lists and information. Outstanding job! Question: I do not want to get into differences in player ratings between your list and those from MLB Pipeline, but are there philosophical differences at play here, or is this truly the "eye of the beholder". Thanks!

I was almost certain the Pirates sleeper prospect was going to be Gage Hinsz, but Escobar a solid choice as well. What can Gage develop into?

What happened with Andy Marte (in his playing days?) I remember that he was a top prospect for years. It doesn't seem like he had makeup issues. What caused him to be basically a non-entity as a pro?

Keith, if Wilmer Difo was prospect eligible would he have had a shot at the top 100? Or is he kinda stuck in neutral until hes traded out of the logjam in DC? Thanks

Hi Keith, several weeks ago I asked you on Twitter if your book was going to be available on the UK. Your answer was that you didn't know then and were going to find out. Do you have more info now? Looking forward to read it!

How can Jeren Kendall be at the top of so many lists when his K/BB ratio is so bad? Aren't evaluaters worried about that? How does he stack up against someone like Corey Ray?

A lot has been made lately of college students and recent graduates working for free in order to break into their desired field. I understand you went to Harvard and then got an MBA. I was wondering what was your own experience as you broke into baseball with Toronto?

I observed that Rio Ruiz didn't make your Braves report. I admit to knowing nothing other than his stat line but it seemed solid if unspectacular at age 22 in AAA after a few years of inconsistency. Is there anything new to report on him from this past season and what do you think the future holds for him? Now on the 40 man with not much above him on the depth chart, it seems the opportunity is there if he can seize it.

Hi Keith, I live nearby Stanford and college baseball is coming up. Are there any Standford players that could be drafted high this year or next year that I could focus on (instead of getting frustrated by Marquess 1950's strategy)? Thanks!

when you say a kid is too young or too old for a league, what do you mean? what are the age ranges a kid should be in a league? I am in Fort Wayne with a Low-A team

Just wanted to say nice job on all the prospect work on ESPN - I really enjoyed it.

Hi Keith, I was surprised that Sandro Fabian didn't get a mention in your GIants write-up. Is he too far away or do you not see him having above average regular potential?

I've seen a few articles marking Robbie Ray as a breakout candidate, mainly based on his strikeout rate last year. Do you buy that logic. Is Ray more than a mid-rotation guy?

You mentioned Moniak may be able to generate more power with some tweaks - is Moniak with 70/45 hit/power more valuable than 60/55? 60/50?

For Top Chef, I feel this season (and to be honest, the last few) to be less food-focused and more on the "confessional camera" interview side. Which wouldn't be as bad if the chefs are more likable or interesting. What do you think? Also, I am strongly against this season's half returning chefs and half newbies. All new chefs gives viewers more people to learn about and possibly new food destinations to visit across the country.

Eliezer Alvarez didn't make your Cardinals list, but other lists have had him in their top 10. What are your thoughts on him and why doesn't he make the cut for you? Thanks.

How can you trust the information given to you about prospects when it is given by an employee of a club? They have a pretty big conflict of interest, even if they work for a different team from the player, no? I remember Ricciardi and other Blue Jay people making Curtis Thigpen out to be the next Craig Biggio...

The Nationals think Koda Glover might be able to close for them this year or soon after. What are your thoughts on him?

You have Jahmai Jones with potential 60 power but others have him with 45-50. Are these types of difference purely projection (aka preference)? In other words is there that big a difference between what scouts actually see at present?

Higher upside, Michael Fulmer or Sean Manaea?

What type of player is Cole Stobbe ?

I face a dilemma; I used to be blissfully ignorant, never knowing anything past what ESPN had to say. Now, I've started to become slightly more informed about what's going on in the world--which society seems to think is important I do--and now I'm just depressed. So, what's better--to be ignorant and happy or informed and sad with nothing I can do about it?

Any traction to the Robbie Cano comps for Isan Diaz?

Keith, getting an idea of college talent. Roughly, where would Kyle Wright rank on your Top 100? Thanks for all you do and the hard work!

What do you think about Twins SS prospect Wander Javier. Does he have a chance to be a star?

Long term, do you prefer Jeren Kendall over guys like C. Ray or K. Lewis? How does he stack up vs recent OF draftees?

Keith, I have to admit the cover for your book seems a bit bland. I have no doubt about the quality of the prose and analysis but did you have a say in the cover?

Hey Keith, what would be your best advice to a young kid who is struggling to find his way in life? I'm a pretty young male and I see all my friends who know what exactly what they wish to major in at college, and I'm clueless. It's depressing not to know, and it is a decision that keeps me up at night. I've had numerous sleepless nights over it. It's absolute hell when relatives always pose the question and I'm always telling them, "I don't know." Just feels like they look at me like I'm some sort of failure for not knowing. How do I go about solving this problem? Are there any books you could recommend regarding the subject perhaps? It has reached the point where I legitimately don't believe in myself that I'll ever solve this problem. I've already spent my two years at a community college (which I've been on the Deans list every semester), but I'm still clueless. What do you think is the best way to solve this problem? Thanks Keith!

I've read most of your work the last 7-8 years, and on a few occasions you've written or Tweeted the following about Michael Young: 'Classiest double play ever' (after he grounded into a DP), and 'Total class on that E5' (after he kicked a groundball). These may not be exactly what you wrote, but they're close. My question is this: Is that a poke at MY himself (because maybe he's not as classy and slick as his reputation suggests), or more of a dig at the fans/media folks who perpetuated that idea?

In a recent interview, Tyler Glasnow mentioned that his stride length was too long causing him to land on his heel with his plant foot causing his stuff to fluctuate. He said he was going to shorten his stride a bit to correct the problem. I know you wrote that Tijuan Walker shortened his stride length and you believe that it had a negative effect on his stuff. Is it a bad idea for Glasnow to do this? I know from reading his perceived velocity was about 3mph faster do to his overwhelming stride length.

It seems as if many of the baseball writers I follow sway (actually, more than sway) to the left when it comes to politics. Now, it may just be coincidence that the people I follow and listen to have these viewpoints. From your perspective, does this seem to be the case? If so, why?

Am I wrong to think that Dylan Cease is a reliever long term?

I've recently decided to get into coffee. Up until this year I've been a folgers drip in a Mr coffee guy. I've been mostly cold and pour over brewing while manual burr grinding beans from a local roaster and of course its been awesome. I want to start learning about beans (this far I just ask roaster recs) but the subject seems so vast that I don't know where to start, like a sandwich too big to bite into. Any suggestions on where to start?

Who are your early ROY favorites for 2017? I'm assuming Benintendi in the AL gets your vote.

I was somewhat surprised to see that you ranked josh bell higher than Margot given the opposing ends of the defensive spectrum. Are you that much more confident in Bell's bat or were there other considerations (MLB success?) that created the separation? thanks

Heading to Nashville in 2 weeks and I need to plan dinner for a group in their mid 30's, any recommedations?

I knew Kevin Grendell wouldn't be close to the top 100 because he's a reliever. But I was surprised I didn't see him in your prospect coverage at all this offseason. What do you think his future is? Could he be an elite reliever?

Any thoughts on Giants OF Austin Slater? He looks intriguing but I know that lots of hitters coming out of Stanford seem to have a bad rep.

All the talk about the Yankees farm system being so good by the NY media seems to overlook that a bunch of their top prospects which they drafted/signed (Mateo, Judge, etc.) seemed to have regressed a bit (or not developed as hoped). Fair to be concerned about their development process? (Yes, I'm ignoring Sanchez's graduation, but it's been two months so hard to be supper bullish)

Keith... the Rockies off-season is really confusing... specifically signing Ian Desmond playing first base... with a stacked young infield and a logjam in the outfield (the positions that better align with his defensive versatility) in Dahl, Cargo, Blackmon, Parra and Tapia on his way . What are your thoughts? Were they planning on trading OF this off-season (and maybe that got torpedoed by the Eaton trade?) or maybe they just signed the Cargo-replacement a year early because they did not like the OF free agent crop next year (but that does not account for Tapia)?

What you hearing about Luis Robert? Sounds like a top 150 prospect type? No

Why is Gimenez considered a "sleeper"? I know you often wouldn't be accused of being conservative, but 16th on the Mets list after the season he had? Its not like he's a pop-up guy, as you said in the report, big money guy. Is it simply the lack of experience playing in the states?

I'm 41 and thinking of starting a new career; possibly in writing. What are your thoughts on writing for free to build a resume and writing samples, content mills, etc.?
