Do you have a mystery novel to recommend
Keith Law
2:23
I'm a fan of Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, & Rex Stout.

Bigger upside Kyle Tucker or Willie Calhoun?
Keith Law
2:24
Really? Tucker.

Is Tommy Pham a one-hit wonder, or a late bloomer?
Keith Law
2:24
Late bloomer. Had to get healthy and get a solution for his eye condition.

I get why you wouldn't scout Blaze Jordan now, but is it valuable for MLB teams to start tracking kids who are freshmen and sophomores?
Keith Law
2:25
I don't think so. I think it's a waste of resources.

Hosmer told fangraphs he's looked into launch angle and worked JD Martinez' offseason hitting coach. Assuming he makes the conscious effort, does joining the fly ball revolution give Hosmer a better chance of repeating his 4 WAR season going forward?
Keith Law
2:25
Sure. But a lot of players have tried this without getting better results, and I don't think anyone has figured out which players can pull it off and which ones can't. FWIW, Hosmer did show plus power as an amateur.

Don't you think the Angels sent an army of investigators to the DR to try and uncover any evidence that Pujols is older than he claims?  I'd be doing everything possible to claim his albatross contract was based on a lie and get it cancelled in court.
Keith Law
2:26
No, I don't think they did that, nor would they likely be able to do so since they had no problem accepting his age - which was also accepted by the US government when he became a citizen in 2007 - when they signed the deal.

Re the weed comment: basically any substance can be harmful to people with certain conditions. Water can be harmful to someone who is hyponatremic.
Keith Law
2:27
Exactly. Weed is not like cocaine or meth. Marijuana should be decriminalized.

DO NOT CONGRATULATE
Keith Law

every time I saw that yesterday I kept thinking "DONNA MARTIN GRADUATES" and realized 2/3 of my readers wouldn't get the joke.

That's all for this week and there will not be a chat next week due to travel (unless there is another nor'easter ... no thanks, i've had enough already). Thank you as always for reading and for all of your questions. Check out my book Smart Baseball, now out in paperback with a new afterword for 2018!
