KnightsOnMintSt Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 It’s so fun to watch Robert run. He just gets around the bases so easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUSTgottaBELIEVE Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Time to promote Robert and Madrigal. Move them together. Mitch Roman certainly isn’t blocking anyone in AA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, he’s always been a favorite sleeper prospect of mine due to his athleticism. If he can draw some walks and show a bit more power, he suddenly becomes something to pay a lot more attention to.

Classic SSS. Why is it ridiculous that he get more time there to show his stuff? That's the main thing I'm advocating.

Did you missed the part he was dealing with multiple injuries. It not was reflective of his talent or development. Take a look at what he did against better competition in fall league and spring training after he has healed from injury he has proven capable of handling pitching above A+. His current supernatural performance backs that up. Edited April 30, 2019 by thxfrthmmrs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, let his current supernatural performance continue more than 17 games before promoting him to the toughest hitter's spot in our farm system.

From practicality standpoint, what exactly does Robert has to gain by beating up inferior competition and putting video game numbers. It stunts his development more than it helps to be frank. If you’re so much bette than your peers at work at what you do, do you actually need to get better at it? Between Fall league, ST, the 20 game sample so far, and scouting videos it’s no question he’s significant better than A+ pitching. Elite MLB prospects has proven themselves in smaller sample size. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue him being in WS is detrimental to his developement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
