One player since then came within 1 point (199) of the 200 barometer. Can you name that player? I was shocked to see who it was. Only one player since 1960 or since Frank?

We’re going to have potential all stars at 6 positions (yes counting Robert as a potential all star). By my count it would be 8 potential all stars.

I guess I had the year sorta right tho, or something. Never, ever would have guessed who it actually is.

thxfrthmmrs Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 7 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: I posted the picture from insta - I know he looks good with his frame but that is not what a strong "lean" guy looks like at all. I think Robert is so freaking athletic he still has enough speed to stay in CF even with another 15-20 LBS. I couldn’t say he’s more athletic than Trout, but Trout is playing at 240 these days. I think whether he could stay there or not would be determined by whether his instincts catch up to his athleticism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper 6th at 197. 4th is a former White Sox. That is the only clue. Edited January 2, 2020 by Look at Ray Ray Run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully that helps along with the change of Scenery. That's what I'm hoping at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 2 hours ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Mike Trout came up as a 6'2 220 lb CF'er. Luis Robert is coming up as a 6'2 220 lb CF'er. I'm not saying but I'm just sayin'. That's interesting because they are actually quite different physical types. Trout fits your description of "bulky". Robert is chiselled, or as someone here said, "sinewy," which is a very good choice of words. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always knew he was good, but I had no idea he had a historically great offensive season like that. And now he posts on Soxtalk. Amazing turn of events.

He has added a considerable amount of muscle, in the last couple of years, but his body fat is still very low. That is the most impressive physique that I've ever seen, for a baseball player.

Yes...when I predicted extensions for Robert & Madrigal this past Summer...I was overwhelmingly told maybe Madrigal but not a chance for Robert since he already had his big payday. Rick understands how this extension game is played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of the better ones I've seen for a PED user as well he didn't skip core day one fucking time to train biceps! I personally DGAF about that shit and think most pro athletes (well over 50% ) are on them. Just don't get caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
