If he’s decent, he can just drop to middle infield backup once they call up Madrigal. Edited July 12, 2019 by Moan4Yoan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hands are so short and quick. I read somewhere cite a long swing? I must be watching something else. Big follow throw, short to the ball. He is a fastball destroyer. AAA is a waste if time for Luis Robert - I've said that a lot. He doesnt need to learn to hit 4A breaking stuff, he needs to see big league breaking stuff and then he'll adjust there.

I know I was in the slow roll boat, but I didn't expect him to destroy Birmingham like this, so yeah I was wrong, and I'm honestly just sick of getting to 40% of our lineup and thinking it's a great time to do chores or read a book. Get him up here, have Madrigal and Vaughn soon behind him. Make Baseball Interesting Again! Expand Nice to see that Robert has turned you. That may come off as a snipe or something but I mean it.

Now if only Moncada can as well Expand He might have, already. I see everything in patterns. So when Moncada started hot, I figured it’d follow last year’s trajectory. Hot start, big slump, sight boost late, mediocre overall. I was being sincere when I said I didn’t think he’d OPS .800. But he’s only gotten better since I said that. Maybe I should ditch my obsession with seeing patterns in everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncada stole 40 bases at every fucking level in the minors but he can't run in the Majors? WTF, Ricky? Robert is actually faster than Moncada, so being the first player to go 50-50 isn't out of the question for him. If Moncada was born in the States he'd be an OLB in the NFL instead. Both guys are athletic freaks. Moncada has insane raw power, but his game power is a notch below Robert and Eloy. Robert and Eloy have the capability to hit 50+ HR, Moncada will probably top out in the 35-45 range in his prime. Expand Add in Vaughn and Anderson...Madrigal as the cherry on top. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
