If you could ask Mike Elias anything, what would you ask?

[tntoriole]

1. Do you see active trading season this year before the deadline?

2.  Have you  a number one choice in the draft in your mind already?

3. Where is that Brady guy?

4. Do you like crabcakes?

Why interview Elias when we have a know-it-all here already?

If you made a trade with the Phillies, would you request a sweater vest as a throw in?

As if he's going to say he doesn't like crab cakes? 

I don't get the crab cake love.  I mean I get why folks love them but I'd rather have a soft crab sandwich.  Not even close.

It's moot now, but what I would have asked is "Why are some organizations consistently more successful at developing players than others?  How important are scouting and drafting relative to coaching in explaining these differences across organizations?"

Cool!    Great that he was accessible to you.    Hope you let him know that his most knowledgeable, intense fans can be found here.   

You know I did!

If I only had one question and I knew he would answer it honestly, it would be:

"When do you expect us to be in the World Series?"

Will you be posting the full transcripts of your Q & A with Elias on the website?

No, but I'm going to go through the audio and upload it.

I'm serious. I know we joke about this, but how far does he think we are?

Are you tired of all these GoT fanboys bitching about every little detail they don’t like about Season 8? It’s a good show, nerds

Maybe when Tony uploads the interview we will get an answer.

I would say 5 years if the rebuild goes well.

Every time he’s been asked that question, Elias has said he can’t put a timetable on it.
