Jack Parkman Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) 8 minutes ago, chw42 said: Robert already has a 120 game sample prior to this season. 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. Yeah, but people think he's going to be an MVP candidate and the fanbase is going to turn on him when he's a 4-5 WAR guy with most of his value tied to defense like Moncada. Everyone is going to b**** about not hitting anywhere close to his ceiling like we do about Yoan. I'm guilty of it myself. The Sox are doing way better with their pitchers than they are their hitters. Edited April 20, 2022 by Jack Parkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't need to use any if those because of the innings he took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol...jack.....Luis has a 128 wRC+ in his first 560 MLB plate appearance. How in the fuck does that lead to "most of his value tied to defense". You're insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GradMc Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Dreadful failure by Reinsdorf's organization in securing a strong starting rotation. The clock is ticking on this ownership. Maybe they just don't give a damn. Edited April 20, 2022 by GradMc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 15 ticks lower on wRC+ across his career. Luis is going to be an absolute star in this game. He looks like shit at the plate the last 10 days or so, but he'll be fine. Relax.

Jack Parkman Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 My biggest beef with the offense is that they don't get on base enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No....They're both really solid above average players that are great defensively. It's just frustrating that despite flashes of superstardom neither have yet to take the next step. There's still time for Robert as he's only 24. Time is running out for Yoan. If he continues being what he was last year for the next season or two that's probably what he is.

Talking this season only. I'm pretty much done with Eloy though. He is doing his best Avi Garcia impression with the grounders.
