DirtySox Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Sounds like two of the doubles today would have been HRs if not for Regions field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) If Moncada and Jimenez have taught us anything, it is that dominating the minors is great, but the majors is a completely different ballgame. It's nice to be excited about Robert, but minor league rankings and stats mean jack and shit. Gotta come up to the Sox and rake.

I will say this, though, it is better to dominate in the minors than be kinda good. The only Sox prospect I can remember who was kinda good in the minors and then was a star was Ventura. Even Maggs absolutely dominated AAA in his last year there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is incredibly frustrating that the Sox can't have a nice new shiny toy. It seems the baseball gods don't allow them to have nice things.

Not this year, but for his 2017-18 yeah. And he's been scuffling for 2 weeks now. I want to believe it is just normal ebbs and flows of the season but I'm a little freaked that he sucks again. I personally think Moncada has little power from the right side and they've faced a ton of lefties is the last two weeks. It is probably going to take him a bit to get his lefty swing back.

thxfrthmmrs Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 For those with the Juan Soto comp, Soto raked in his first stop last year and hit the ground running in his 2nd and 3rd stops as well. Looks like Robert could be on his way to that type of streak. Only question is how aggressive will the Sox be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Also note that Robert had 3 doubles and 3 RBIs, yet 0 runs scored. Just goes to show how bad the guys hitting behind him are right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lamented for years that they're 10-15 years behind the rest of the majors in their baseball operations dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be a really good hitter for a lot of years. As for Yoan, he didn't necessarily dominate MILB if I remember correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already halfway to Blake Rutherford's hit total. It's pretty crazy in how bad they've been and how good he's doing right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He destroyed every level except AAA, and in 2017 when before he got hurt in late May/early June, he was hitting .340. They kept him down and he got a little bored.

Is this where we talk about how quite a few of us said Birmingham would lead to the death of Rutherford and Sheets prospect status (if they had any left). Robert is impressive as hell though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
