Bobby Bradley (Cle) did not earn a mention on your list. Has your opinion of him altered during this season, or is he progressing as you expected/hoped and is just a sub-57 prospect?

Glad to see that Hunter Harvey (Bal) is still worth a mention (honorable) on your list. Did you see either of his Aberdeen starts? If not, have you heard anything to suggest that he is still (post injuries), or can become, the prospect that you had previously projected?

With reports Jason Groome is in Boston taking his physical, if he signs, where does he rank on your Red Sox list?

Would you include Eloy Jimenez in a deal for Andrew Miller? Or do you think the Cubs have enough other parts to get it done with the Yanks?

Are you alarmed by Javier Guerra's K rate and overall offensive non-performance this season? Seems like a lost year for him.

By no means did I expect to see him in the top 50, but what are your thoughts on Jake Thompson? At this point, no reason for Philly to delay giving him a cup of coffee, right? (Trying not to just scout the stats though)

I am driving across the country next week. I'm not usually a books-on-tape guy, but do you have any recommendations for something that might be a good listen (from Audible, e.g.)?

Did I hear correctly that Dylan Cease touched 103? Could that be right?

Keith, I don't want to scout the stat line but have you heard any news about Nolan Watson for Lexington in the Royals system. Numbers have been pretty poor all season and wondering if there is something to explain it. Thanks.

Any sense of *why* Mateo isn't performing as well this year? Effort, instincts, position change, something else?

With Josh Bell likely back down in Indy this time next week, where would he have ranked on your list? 30-40 range?

In what range would you put Morejon amongst prospects? Top 150?

Do you think the Rangers have a plan for Joey Gallo, and if so, what is it? I have been confused this year by the way they have handled him.

Rob Whalen currently leads the Southern League in Ks and just got promoted to Triple A. Seems like he's mostly viewed as a pitchability guy, but have you heard anything about him? Can he start in the big leagues?

I believe this is the first time you've moved Frazier significantly ahead of Zimmer. Driven more by Frazier's progress or Zimmer's decline?

Hi Keith. Thanks for the chat!! Do you have any thoughts on Giants AA reliever Ray Black? He's my wife's cousin and I was wondering if you think he has a chance to make it to the majors this year or ever? Thanks again!

Doesn't the player you described that alfaro can become an allstar? Or really close to it?

I opened this link to ask you a Sean Newcomb question, but I'm not even sure what to ask. Is there any hope? The walks continue.

Watched some of the PG All-American selection show yesterday. They mentioned there was more high-end prep talent for 2017 than in recent years. True (to date)?

Do you think Willie Calhoun is good enough to get serious time in the bigs in 2017?

You can obviously disagree, but I am not sure it is helpful to label All Lives Matter as racist. People who say that may be misguided and missing the point, but are they necessarily racist? That sort of rhetoric (calling them racist) exacerbates the problem in my opinion.

(Will be in work meeting at 1, so posting early.) In the past, you've supported the idea of a team keeping good pitching prospects in a starting role through the minors until they show they're better off as a reliever (your thoughts on Alex Meyer comes to mind, for example). Recognizing his basic 2 strong pitch arsenal and potential height issues, but with continued good performance through the minors (one start in AAA not withstanding), what would be the moment where you'd definitively conclude he's a reliever? (Reworded - I know you've stated repeatedly that you believe he's most likely a dominant reliever in waiting. But when would you make that switch, and why?) Thanks Keith!

After an awful (bad luck-fueled?) start in AAA, JP Crawford is hitting well again. Is it time for him to replace Galvis?

Noticed you had Kohl Stewart as an honorable mention in the top 50 piece. With him being in Double-A what kind of ceiling do you currently project for him?

Do you agree with the notion that the best way to assemble a bullpen is to just collect a huge number of arms? If so, is that strategy because very few relievers actually have differentiated skill?

Any reaction to Justice Ginsburg's comments on Trump? You've mentioned before that you think Scalia let his religious beliefs affect his jurisprudence--I don't agree and I think you would have a hard time providing evidence of that. However, Ginsburg made it pretty clear that politics dictate her decisions. Isn't that way worse?

Trout for Betts, Benetendi and Kopech...who says no?

John Coppolella came out and flatly said the Braves won't trade Julio Teheran. Do you think he is just playing hard to get, or is he being truthful?

How is your book coming along? Can you give us any details?

What do you make of this Michael Kopech situation? By situation I mean.... first, 105? really? second, how much are Boston fans over reacting when we're putting him in the same conversation with Espinoza (and hopefully Groom).

Everyone in Philly is going gaga over Hoskins and Cozens. Even with the hitter-friendly environment, it's hard to ignore the gaudy #s. Anything to see here? You prefer one over the other (or neither) to have any real MLB impact? Thanks!

You put Hunter Harvey in your honorable mentions. His talent has never been the issue. Does his high propensity for injury not concern you? Is it because largely speaking they aren't related to his arm?

It seems like Atlanta's strategy is to trade from its young pitching depth to acquire bats. Is that strategy too simplistic? Would teams give up ML bats for pitchers that are a few years away and could easily not pan out? Thanks.

After a horrendous start, Carson Fulmer seems to have turned a corner in AA. Do you think his new cutter can help him succeed in an MLB rotation?

The Mets actually seem to have interesting pitchers now with Dunn, Kay, Wotell and Szapucki.....in what order would you rank that group and can you see any of them junping into your top 100 any time soon?

What are your thoughts on GMOs? Do you avoid them when cooking/eating if possible, or are you okay with them?

Thoughts on AJ Reed's rough start to life in the bigs?

Wu-Cheng Chang a possible top 100 guy for you next season?

Sergio Romo after watching Bickford in high-A felt that he had room to get stronger and throw harder as a result. Agree?

I've been trying to rack my brain for a historical comparable body type to Moncada. 6'1" 210 at 20 is huge. Can you think of any baseball players were that size and fit?

Michael Conforto's recent struggles - a blip on the radar or something more serious?

In one of you draft follow ups you had Corey Ray as the #2 prospect for the Brewers ahead of Trent Clark. In today's Top 50 you have Clark slightly ahead of Ray. Has something changed between the two?

Are you worried about Dillon Tate? A 21 y/o struggling in single A has to worry you

No Josh Hader on your list? Is it his delivery?

I know you profile Reynaldo Lopez as a reliever, but was he given any consideration to the top 50?

Folty and Manaea both had really good starts to end the 1st half. Which one do you think has more career upside and which one do you think has more upside this season?

Psyched to see 3 Cubs still in the top 50. Is there any hope for pitching in the farm system? Are the Cubs bad at developing pitchers, or is the lack of P prospects a result of the draft philosophy?

Can Chance Sisco hit enough to be an elite catcher?

How close was Jose DeLeon to making the list? Are there injury concerns based on the past few months or is the upside not as high as the others on the list?

With the performance of several of the Brewers top prospects this year, David Stearn's first order of business has to be to clean house in the minor leagues doesn't it?
