The Cardinals appear to be the favorite to acquire Stanton. In your eyes, what is a fair package for them to send to Miami? What would acquiring Stanton do to the Cardinals chances of overtaking the Cubs and holding off the Brewers?
Keith Law
2:48
Why are they the favorite? I missed that entirely.
Mark

What prompted you to get into board games? I’m constantly mocked by my family, friends, and even strangers that I’m grown man who is engrossed in board games. How should I respond to these people?
Keith Law
2:49
There were 65,000 people at GenCon this year, mostly adults. Some were even ... women.  Also, if someone mocks your hobby, then they're not your friends. Unless you're a brony. Those people are weird.

I have great respect for your musical tastes, so I’m interested in your insights on this simply query: Mellencamp or Springsteen?
Keith Law
2:49
Pass.

Understanding that every prospect is unique, there seems to be a sentiment that some systems are more prone to failing in a type of player's development (e.g. Orioles with pitchers or the Jack Z. Mariners with hitters). With that in mind, do you factor in organizational structure when rating and ranking prospects? If you have two identical pitchers and one is drafted by the Orioles while the other is drafted by the Dodgers, would you rank the latter above the former?
Keith Law
2:50
I don't. My rankings are team-agnostic because prospects can change orgs at any time.
Charlie

If the Red Sox don't sign a 1B, what are the odds Michael Chavis gets the most PAs there next year?
Keith Law
2:50
Travis will get a long look there if they don't acquire one from outside (I think they will, someone with power).
Josh
2:50
Could Luis Urias be a +10 DRS guy at 2B or is that too rich?
Keith Law
2:51
Seems high, but he's also never played there full-time, has he? He's played a good bit of short and is competent there.
Rick

Thoughts on barstool ? I think some of the gimmicks are funny but they ripped Cortea for getting married so young and not hooking up with a bunch of different like Jeter ? #cringeworthy
Keith Law
2:51
I thought that Correa thing was some movie reference (Anchorman?) I didn't get.
Jay
2:51
You mentioned the Giants as a possible destination for Donaldson in a trade.  Would the Jays really trade him in offseason rather than the trade deadline in '18 (assuming they are not in contention)?
Keith Law
2:51
Why not? In the offseason, far more teams think they're contenders, and budgets are much more flexible.
Cassidy
2:51
What restaraunts did you dine at while at AFL ? The usual ? (Bianco, Matt's, etc.?) anything new ?
Keith Law
2:53
The only new spots were Casa de Falafel in Peoria (Iraqi food, in a gas station, really great) and Forno 301 downtown. Otherwise it was Keith's greatest hits - Hillside, Cartel, Giant, Matt's, crepe bar, Republica Empanada, Pane Bianco, FnB, etc.
Daniel Morton
2:53
Tirso Ornelas stick in a corner or have to move to 1B
Keith Law
2:53
Corner OF.
Brandon
2:53
Would it not be a good idea for both the Rockies and CarGo to reach a one-year deal, with some playing time at 1B?
Keith Law
2:53
He didn't hit enough to be a regular in the OF last year. Not sure why you'd want him at 1b.
Rex
2:53
A FG writer recently said that he thinks it'll be a while before a team other than the Yankees, Indians, Astros, Red Sox, Dodgers, Nationals or Cubs is in the WS. What do you think about that?
Keith Law
2:53
I would take the other side of that bet.
Cassidy
2:54
So a GOP candidate is being accused of sexual assault (awful, if true) but do you think an accusation should merit being pulled from running for office ? One person could come forward lying and your life is ruined ...?! Just doesn't seem fair (although I do believe most accusations are true)
Keith Law
2:54
It's one accusation of assault and several of enticement of a minor, plus other accounts of untoward behavior.
Chase
2:54
Percent chance that Ohtani will be in an MLB uniform on Opening Day?
Keith Law
2:55
I'd go up to 40% now from about 20% before he hired CAA and we heard that the parties have been negotiating or at least discussing. MLB has really, colossally screwed this up. Just waive the cap for him and forget about it.
Jason
2:55
Do you prefer dominick smith to greg bird, (Birds health issues aside?)
Keith Law
2:55
Smith is a much better hitter with less power and much more defense, so yes.
John C.
2:55
I know he's not great by any stretch, but Ryon Healy would be a huge upgrade at 3B over Garcia and Ruiz for the Braves. Given his youth and contract, which young starter would you be willing to trade to acquire him from Oakland?
Keith Law
2:55
He can't play third.
Jason
2:56
Would you care if your daughter smoked weed, but was still productive ? Struggling with my daughter wether to allow it or not
Keith Law
2:56
I would not.
Jerry
2:56
What are the chances Ohtani already has a deal in place with a team?
Keith Law
2:56
Zero. Unless some GM wants to get fired.
Moe Mentum
2:56
Rank and defend these decades-old parody movies that end with exclamation points: Airplane! Hot Shots! Top Secret!
Keith Law
2:57
Top Secret, Airplane, I never even finished Hot Shots.
David Stearns
2:57
Help! I can't tell if 2016 Jonathan Villar is the mirage or if 2017 Jonathan Villar is the fluke...which one is right?
Keith Law
2:57
2016 seemed way out of line with the rest of his career.
