GGajewski18 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:38 PM) As much as I'd love Gioloto or Lopez back we need another young position player with star potential. I personally rather have Robles than either of them. Call me crazy. For Eaton and how cheap and control we have, we can get Robles and 2 of Giolito/Fedde/Lopez imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) No, confirms that we're in [insert phrase], not that it's done "In talks to acquire." That usually means advanced stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Why do people like Robles exactly? From looking at stats, he seems to be several years away and generally has the same skill set as Adam Eaton. No idea about defense. What is the point of this?

That would be awesome to get those guys but if we don't get Robles I'd be disappointed for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveno89 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:40 PM) Why do people like Robles exactly? From looking at stats, he seems to be several years away and generally has the same skill set as Adam Eaton. No idea about defense. What is the point of this? Victor Robles Scouting: Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 45 | Run: 70 | Arm: 65 | Field: 60 | Overall: 60 That is the potential to be an all star center fielder^^^ Those types of players don't grow on trees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Hopefully Giolito, Lopez and another piece or two then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From looking at stats, he seems to be several years away and generally has the same skill set as Adam Eaton. No idea about defense. What is the point of this? He has elite speed, plus defensive, plus contact, and they say he can develope power once he grows into his body. He's approach is also said to be advanced. In the next year or two he could very well be the top prospect in MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robles not in deal. With no Robles it would have to have Giolito or Lopez as the headliner. Disappointing to hear no Robles, but I'm sure there will be some solid depth if a deal gets done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From looking at stats, he seems to be several years away and generally has the same skill set as Adam Eaton. No idea about defense. What is the point of this? He is described as being a very smart baseball player for his age. Advanced 2-strike approach with a 60 hit tool. Elite speed, elite defense. His skill grades when added up are nearly the same as Moncada. Very bummed if we don't get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 No Robles?? What other position player do they have worthy?? Giolito and 1 of Ross/Lopez/Fedde...sure nice start, but who else is involved? Hope we don't over value someone like Severino just because it's been a while since we've had a decent C.

bmags Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 At this point basically the only pitchers I care about have to throw ambidextrously or 105 mph for me to care. Position players much more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
