southsider2k5 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Just please stay healthy! There might not be anyone with a higher ceiling in the system, and I am not kidding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Moncada and Robert are kind even based on position, but Robert has a chance to be a 40-50 HR guy and Moncada might have a couple seasons in the 40 range. Robert has stupid power.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Oh, Robert has a SB too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron883 Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 7 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: Robert is going to skyrocket up prospect lists this year. He has a real chance to be every bit of the hitter Eloy is with average to plus defense in CF. If he stays healthy it wouldn't surprise me if he's top 5 or even #1 by the postseason list. Robert actually is a 5 tool talent. Man, while I would love this, is Robert's hit tool that good? Eloy was filthy with the bat in the minors last year. I'd be surprised if he is as good of a hitter as Eloy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Looks like they should have sent him to Birmingham, instead of Winston Salem. He'll need to be challenged a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 It will be interesting to see Collins at the plate this year in Charlotte, which is a noted bandbox. Maybe the park at Birmingham suppressed his numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Though I think there is a chance Robert could be a great hitter, I think his most likely outcome might be Alfonso Soriano's best years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that doesn't even include the #3 pick in the draft who will most likely be a hitter. Lots of intriguing bats for the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say they have similar ceilings, imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
