Look at Ray Ray Run Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Luis Robert has the loudest set of tools I've ever seen. His speed is truly mind blowing given his size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most elite base stealers are much worse in the second half than first - especially little guys. Look at Altuves splits. Being a ++ runner has more to do with first to third instincts and taking the extra base. Instincts wise the kid was incredible at Oregon state. I think he'll be good there. He's a smart kid but his legs will wear down faster for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The amazing thing is even if the hit tool doesnt come around, hes Mike Cameron with more raw power. Cameron had a hell of a big league career.

Or perhaps it's spring training and now might be the time to test yourself and the competition with the blessing of management ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he did have a very nice career. That was one of those trades that was actually future value for future value. You do not see those too often these days...someone usually ends up on the wrong side of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Best news I've seen in weeks was his home run. Better sign him now to an extension Kenny while you still have all that money! (sarcasm implied) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Eddie Alvarez walk, Steele Walker double , Luis Robert 3 run HR . Then Joel Booker walk , Chris Johnson HBP and RBI single by ZacK Collins. 4 run 9th gives Sox 8-5 lead headed to bottom of 9th. Zach Thompson finishes it off allowing a double to Pence but no runs for the save. Robert the hitting star 2/2 triple, HR 4 rbi. Kids also did well . Jimenez, Madrigal,Walker and Collins all had a hit. Rivera, Booker L., Gonzalez all played. Bernardo Flores with the win 2.1 IP 2 K no hits no runs no walks. Nova 2.2 IP 1 H, I R, no K's or BB's. Madrigal and Collins each had an error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive wondered this a couple times on the futuresox board. At the end of last season I thought if he had a good AFL and spring he could move up to AA but some people thought he will go to A+ no matter what.

It's still the White Sox, I expect them to be as aggressive as they can. A good spring and I think it's probably >50/50 that he'd go to AA.

If the AFL and so far in spring is any indication at all how he does when he is healthy and starting to get it, he could be a fast riser.

bmags Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I’d rather Robert learn in AA than A tbh. He’s been stateside for two years, he’d get consistency with Vizquel, get to work on better breaking balls and a more challenging park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
