caulfield12 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Let’s just hope he stays 100% healthy, puts up an 800ish ops in AA and is good enough to receive consideration for Charlotte or Chicago at the end of 2019. That would be a huge boost to the rebuild momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I’m really glad he is showing up and finally healthy but, the dude is gonna be in A+ again next year, let’s chill with the “actually the rebuild has been perfect!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I think the big takeaway from this not to overreact to rough patches or even seasons with high end prospects. Too many people here panicked on Robert because he couldn’t stay healthy and didn’t show much power. We still don’t know for certain what he is, but surely this AFL reinforces what we know he’s capable of. The tools are beyond elite and we’re actually seeing them put to use for the first time. It’s the same reason people shouldn’t write-off guys like Hansen & Sheets after disappointing 2018 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I was following Robert's stats closely this year and he was okay - no red flags or signs of alarm to think he was going to be far off track, but certainly not showing off elite prospect talent either. His momentum kept getting stalled by injuries, and it was frustrating. I hope he has better luck going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Adam Engel's stats in 2017-2018 according to baseballreference.com: 730 At bats .207 batting average 246 strike-outs 12 HR Was Engel "ready" for major league baseball or was he brought up to try to adjust to major league pitching on the fly to see how that worked out? Why wouldn't Robert be given the same chance ? If he continues to play well in Spring Training, no reason he should not replace Engel on the 25 man roster. His speed on the bases along with that of Tim Anderson and Moncada would be formidable. Engel is DFA material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did they believe he was never going to hit, so they just brought him up because with his defense they were hoping he may do something. Its not like they brought him up onto a championship caliber team. Sometimes they have learned all they can in the minors and the team knows they won't make it.

Talent evaluation is the key more than the timing of a call-up . If a player has the talent they will make it whether they are 21, 22 or 26. Devers, Benintendi,,,so many young guys make it without complaints about being rushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
