Keith Law Joins Scott And Jeremy
Keith Law of ESPN and Scouts Inc. joined the Scott Garceau Show with Jeremy Conn to go around Major League Baseball as position players reported to Spring Training today. Keith had an interesting take on visiting Major League camps before the games actually start. "I don't go to Spring Training until the games start. I would rather light myself on fire than watch pitchers fielding drills."
Keith currently has a blog posted on some impact rookies across Major League baseball. He has one prospect listed that is right in the Orioles division. "I mentioned Steven Sousa with the Rays who they got in the big 3-way deal that involved Wil Myers. I don't think Sousa is necessarily a top prospect for the long haul, he's already 26 years old. The fact that he is 26 years old probably helps him in terms of discussing impact for this year. He raked in Triple A, we know he's peaking physically and he's at his power peak physically. And I think he will step in and get the vast majority of at bats for them in right field."
A known critic of the Orioles, Jeremy asked Keith to give his thoughts on the birds off-season. "So I thought you don't want to sign Markakis to that contract no way. You don't want to sign Cruz to that contract. Nelson Cruz had a great year but it is not going to happen again. So I was fine with the individual decisions to let those guys go. And Andrew Miller was great but you had him for 2 months, I'm fine with letting him go. There is some lost production to replace, they'll get some of that back. I believe more in Wieters and Machado producing than I do in Davis getting back to where he was 2 years ago. I would've liked to see them make some sort of addition to make up for what was lost, maybe a Nelson Cruz type deal looking for someone in the second or third tier."
