Tomorrow morning, I'll be posting the much-anticipated transcript of our Friday interview with Blue Jays Consultant (Baseball Operations) Keith Law. Kent and I peppered Keith with questions on a wide range of issues, including the team's remarkable run of success in May, the organization's top prospects (and top sleepers) in the minors, and what it's like to work for JP Ricciardi. I was surprised to hear Keith's take on sudden AA sensation Simon Pond, and intrigued to hear the truth about the rumours that JP told scouts not to bother to look at high school pitchers before the draft. I think you will be, too. Drop by tomorrow morning for the complete word from Keith Law, exclusively at Batter's Box.
I can't wait! Should be more fascinating than the Hillary Clinton interview!
The Batter's Box interviewed Hilary Clinton? Where's the archive?
This is totally off topic, but the AL All-Star votes were updated today, with Carlos in first at first...

This should be a great interview!
'Moneyball' apart its very rare to hear what really goes on in the trenches, and I'm sure Keith will be a more enlightening interviewee than that crusty James fellow the Red Sox employ.

Look forward to it too!
Gwyn, you are so right about Bill James. His basic ESPN chat answer:
"That was a really stupid question. Don't even think you are as smart or as witty as me. Now do me a favour and go away. Next!"
Very englightening....

Do you think Bill talks like that to Theo, Larry, and John? It'd be pretty funny if he did.
