hi8is Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:24 PM) Ain't happening. Just pop the top on a cool one and ride the wave! But a 10k/mo retainer client is on the line if I don't get my ass in gear. My Luis Robert obsession is a serious problem. Do they have a Luis Robert Anonymous program?

Boopa1219 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 I would have him no lower than three in the system. Moncada Robert/Kopech Kopech/Robert Giolito Collins Lopez Fulmer Dunning Adams Basabe Its crazy to think that their first round pick will be in the bottom half of the top ten. the system has been so bad that their first round picks go to #1 immediately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 And just like that you feel a whole lot better about the system's position talent, still not deep by any means but damn this is huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macsandz Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 QUOTE (New Era on South Side @ May 20, 2017 -> 02:21 PM) Spiegel and Parkins kept saying Ro-bear until Rick Camp or Jay Zawaski said a Baseball America writer says "Robert." Robert is his middle name. Luis Robert Moirant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deals for Q, Robertson, + will sure add more confidence and filler by 2018. Draft strong again next month... tank this year for a high draft slot next year... Gotta love it.

GreenSox Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Well done, Hahn. Re this "penalty" that the Sox can't pay a bonus >$300K for the next 2 years, I thought that 300K was the hard cap anyway. the Sox should have the number 1 farm system by a mile in about 71 days.
