Robert looks more like Mike Cameron than Mike Trout. The projection systems definitely saw Robert as more like Mike Cameron coming into this season. Truth is that Cameron at his peak was a 4-5 WAR player who was massively underrated because of the era he played in. I still think Robert has a much higher ceiling, but a floor of Mike Cameron isn't the end of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think Robert has a much higher ceiling, but a floor of Mike Cameron isn't the end of the world. The issue is that all of the high floor/high ceiling hitters that the Sox acquired seem to be coming nowhere close to their ceilings and are basically being their safe floor or slightly above (looking at Moncada/Robert/Eloy) There's still time for Vaughn but it's disheartening that all of those guys are only scraping barely above the floor.

It helps in that he saves the bullpen by going 4 innings. May not be a game changer for this one but could be fir the next couple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 Yeah, I’m not going to worry about the offense in April. Maybe once hits mid-May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a 5 WAR player who looked amazing for 3 months and was terrible for a month. I think he'll be a streaky hitter in general. Hopefully his struggles recently are just mechanical or the league adjusting to him. He'll always have a chance to adjust back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
