Rankin Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) I'm pretty pumped about it. Luis Robert has five home runs in 10 games and continues to build a case for AA. Read about his success, along with Advanced-A standouts Nick Madrigal, Codi Heuer and Alec Hansen here!

SoxBlanco Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 In a perfect world, do Robert and Madrigal both get called up in mid-April next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Robert should be on the super fast track. Either AA or AAA can be bypassed. There is no good reason for not moving him now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Why are they waiting to promote Robert to AA? They are wasting his time and his career by having him down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best prospect on the planet has over 1000 minor league AB's ( Vlad Guerrero Jr.). Robert has 329. Moving him means moving other pieces to accommodate him. He still has a lot to learn. Baseball isn't as easy as he is making it look right now. No sense grinding him down . He's on fire now but long seasons do wear a guy down who is not used to it yet no matter how good a physical specimen he is. Let's see if he can stay healthy for 6 months while playing nearly every day. If he does there's a decent chance he can start next year with the Sox but I would imagine with so little experience that he will struggle at some point in AA or AAA and he will need to adjust and we will need to stay patience just like with Moncada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Robert was removed from the game last night with a left hand contusion / soreness according to Van Schouwen of the Sun Times. He wrote there was no incident (i.e. slide) that caused it. Hand is sore. He's day to day. Edited April 21, 2019 by Lip Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 It is his left hand again, the hand with the thumb sprain that plagued him last season and earlier in the Spring. I am concerned about this. Is there any more information about this injury ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am concerned about this. Is there any more information about this injury ? If it's a hand contusion on his left hand it's very possible this is caused by the knob of the bat. Hes hitting the ball so good and hard right now the knob could be smashing up against his hamate. This was a problem for Stanton a couple years ago too.

There are guys that are so strong and they grip the bat so low and strong that they bruise their hand when swinging. All he has to add is a pad on his knob or shave the knob down a little. If it's a hbp I'd be even less worried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Some rando on twitter last night said he heard that his hand is broken and he will be out until August, but a couple FS Sox guys quoted him saying that is BS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would have known if it were the broken hand thing by now. Apparently he took batting practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
