Thoughts on chance adams? baseball america sees him as a number 2 down the line. I would think that would get him on some top 100 lists. whats your take? thanks klaw

Favorite class at Harvard

How would you compare Bogaerts' bat and Polanco's bat at this point? Are they fairly similar with XB having more positional value?

Any thoughts on Tomas Nido? Seems Josh Thole-ish.

One of DFW radio host was critizing Yu Darvish for being selfish by "striking out too many batters" and not pitching to contact, thus increasing his pitch count. He's arguing that if he's good enough to strike out batters, he should be able to get weak grounders whenever he wants. I thought that it was an absurd statement. Thoughts?

Would you pay Reddick 4 year / $56 million for Josh Reddick. Reportedly that's the ask and A's countered 3 yr / $39 million. Cheers.

I'm a Cubs fan, and I'm bothered by the Chapman trade. When Theo and Tom say they believe Chapman is a changed man, I believe that they believe it. Aroldis probably believes it himself. I don't think anyone's lying. But I wonder how differently that conversation might have gone if there'd been some women in the room. We hear about baseball's struggles with racial diversity in management, but we don't hear much about gender. Maybe this is willfully naive, but I'd feel better about this whole thing if it were a woman saying she was comfortable with the odds of Chapman re-offending.

Buster Olney has been pretty vocal recently about the Pirates shopping Melancon. While they are fighting for a wild card spot, it’s seems like one of those moves that really wouldn’t have much of an impact on that pursuit, and could land them a decent prospect. Would you deal him if you’re Neal Huntington, especially with how inflated the closer market is?

Hey Keith - just curious who you would have as the Jays #1 prospect at the moment? Seems like there are a few names in that conversation (Reid-Foley, Urena, Alford, Greene)

Molitor is out of touch writing a line up and his love of bunting and playing gritty, hard nose players that aren't any good(D. Santana). Last night down by 2 with 2 on in the 8th and no outs, he has their hottest hitter this year (Nunez) bunt and it didn't turn out(surprise, surprise). The Pohlads scared off all potential GM candidates by saying Molitor is the manager in 2017. Why did they do that? I don't think he will work with the young ones. Will you please take the job, Keith? They need a complete house cleaning, don't you think? Thanks!!!

Is John Coppolella in the top 5 GMs in baseball? Care to rank top 5?

Thoughts on Dylan Bundy's return to the rotation? He seems to be showing good velo, three pitches and is generating lots of swinging strikes.

Keith, any thoughts on how MLB is handling the Jung Ho Kang Rape allegation?

Royce Lewis. Is he probably drafted in the top half of the first round pick next June, the lower half of first round pick next June, or is going to end up at UC Irvine due to his advisor (Boras) thinking he could go higher in the draft in three years?

Keith, a prominent MLB pitcher voiced being pretty salty about being left off of prospect lists and critical analysis as a HS player/minor leaguer. What is your take on this? Have current/ex-players ever contacted you in regard to their displeasure with things you have said/written?

A colleague of yours at ESPN wrote an article this week about each team's "most untouchable players." And while he limited it to minor league players for contending teams, he listed Bickford as the Giants untouchable player. Sorry for the roundabout way of asking, but does Bickford have any real trade value to headline a deal for a mid-level starter or corner outfielder for the Giants? Between the velocity drop and his issues in college, I don't see him being very highly sought after

Have you gotten a chance to read Lila yet? Obama's speech last night reminded me of Marilynne Robinson, with its quiet, homegrown patriotism and faith in humanity -- I see why he has such an affinity for her. And Lila may be the best of the trilogy, IMO -- looking forward to your review.

Keith, finding my balance with a Brewers question. Moving two former SP's down to AA from Colorado Springs--smart move to help them mentally? Or false reinforcement for facing lower-quality hitters than they were facing in the bigs?

Gleyber, Mateo, Judge, McKinney, Severino for Sale. Who says no?

Velocity is definitely an indicator of success for pitchers, however....while guys are running it up there 95-100, it seems the best guys, the ones who last a long time and provide a steady level of excellence, sit around 90-93 and ramp it up when they need it. Of course, they also have great command of many different pitches. Shouldn't that tell teams that big strong oxes are great, but they need to spend more time evaluating the pitchability of guys, since there is already a glut of middle relievers with great arms, but not enough starters who can actually pitch?

I saw your recent chat comments on Chris Shaw after he was promoted to Richmond. Want to know if you also paid much attention to Hinojosa and/or Duggar - two underperforming college players who've had early success and were promoted at the same time. Anything stand out or catch your eye?

So from what I gather.....Demerritte has Joey Gallo's swing and miss without his power?

In a top 200 prospect list, off the top of your, about where would Szapucki rank?

Can Dustin Peterson be an every day LF for Atlanta? He's still just 21, hitting .293/.352/.442 at Double A in a pitcher's league.

Has Lance McCullers' dominance of late made you change your mind about the possibilities of him as a starter?

Since he wasn't worth a mention in you're Upton trade write-up, did Padres pay too much of Uptons contract for Hansel?

With Corey Ray's recent struggles in Hi-A, how do you rank Ray, Senzel, Collins, and Groome for fantasy purposes?

Strahm, Russell, and Blewett. Who looks the best? Who's got the most upside?

Does Oscar De La Cruz have TOR upside? Your protege Eric L over at Fangraphs says future reliever, while some others have talked about a possible ace.

Can you please inform people why don't trade the #1/#2 prospect in all of baseball for a closer? Thank you, kind sir.

How likely is it that Atlanta's rebuild ends in disappointment, seeing that their #1 prospect has a limited ceiling, and all of the pitching prospects have some questions regarding either health or walk rates?

Is Jahmai Jones MLB regular good, or are Angels fans just clinging to any prospect who might be even MLB worthy as a reserve?

Thank you for not sticking to baseball! Your recommendation of "Undeniable" is one everyone living in the real world should follow. Nye doing his own narration of the audiobook adds his incredible passion to the words.

Why is Jose Berrios still in AAA? Duffey was destroyed by Atlanta last night while Berrios had another QS in AAA.

In 2015 under JackZ the Mariners farm system had a universally terrible year both in terms of team performances and individual performances (with maybe a couple exceptions). In 2016 under JerryD, the Mariners farm system is putting out playoff teams at virtually every level with a few pretty solid individual performances as well. So my question: how much of this attributable to the change in administration (including the difference in philosophy of promotion) and how much is attributable to just the randomness of a new year? (Feel free to expand as necessary.)

Have you started The Night Of? I really like it so far through 3 epiosdes.

Would you rather have Kyle Gibson or Shelby Miller going forward?

Hey Keith. I know you listed a while back an acronym to deal with anxiety/depression. (Involving a routine and medication if I remember correctly.) Would you mind sharing that again? Thanks.

Thoughts on story Eireann Dolan posted re: brother? For dad like me of young autistic son, emotional roller coaster.

Am I the only person who loves seeing someone not on the top prospect lists make it and become an outstanding MLB player? Not because I like to see the experts look bad, but because it shows to other players not on those lists that it can be done...

What kind of ceiling do you put on Delvin Perez?

How exactly did Mookie Betts end up being a fifth rounder? What's changed for him since he was drafted?

Your thoughts on Tim Kaine? He seems smart, reasonable, experienced, without any big controversy. Should he be at the top of the ticket?

Austin Riley has improved in recent months since the bad start. When you're a guy that doesn't have much bat speed, what are some ways to fix that? It can't just a death sentence to a career, right?

Christin Stewart seems ready for a new challenge, any reason he's still in A+?

Do you think we could see Randy Arozarena in top 100 in near future (next preseason)?

Is Brevard a better placement for Erceg? SSS and all, but he commented that he didn't feel challenged in rookie ball.

Saw you dig the new Jeff Beck tune. Who are some of your favorite guitar players?

Manuel Margot. Do you see him growing in to some home run power? I know i'm scouting the stats, but he only has 4 HR in the hitter friendly PCL (albeit with 10 triples which is amazing).

Are you still as high on Brendan Rodgers as you were at the beginning of the season? Seems as though he has been struggling for Asheville as of late.
