That is the correct pronunciation, according to the guy who created GIFs. He came on the score last year with Goff and Spiegel and set them straight

Yeah, makes sense to me.

 

It was honestly one of the first times I had ever heard that (acronymn ?) pronounced, so I took note of it.

Lots of great quotes, Robert puts out a hyper aggressive timeline for helping the White Sox in one year's time

 

I would say 0% chance Robert reaches the majors by 2018, very very low chance he is ready by 2019, and with 2020 being the soonest I could realistically see him being called up to the mlb.

 

He would have to be murdering the ball in the minors to reach the mlb within the next year. He's very talented, but he should not be rushed since we are rebuilding anyways.

The one thing it made me do was wonder if the Sox made some promises about how quickly he would move through the system, or if that is just Robert's level of confidence coming out.

Possibly, but it would be tough to put a timetable on him reaching the majors without seeing how he performs against single A competition. I personally feel like he should be in Kannapolis right away getting reps, but I do understand that he has not played competitive baseball in awhile and the DZL can be a helpful transition.

Doubtful. Even though minor league life is tough, Robert already has 30m.

It makes me a bit concerned that he will take his struggles in stride as he moves throughout the system.

 

Yeah I thought about that too.

 

But Zack Collins has said similar things. I am not sure it's such a unique mindset among our prospects.

LUIS Robert could be starting his White Sox career today...in fact, all the games already started at 10:30 am in the Dominican.

 

He will wear #26 to start out.

Man it must be brutal in the sun out there in that league. At least in the Caribbean you get the moderating ocean breezes and nice coolish evenings. Probably not many day games.

 

The price of avoiding taxes
