CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Roberts will play in the Arizona Fall Stars game on Saturday on MLB network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Was watching the fall stars game that I dvr'd . Robert grounded out to third his 1st Ab against Forrest Whitley in the 2nd inning. Right behind the plate was a guy holding a sign that said" White Sox sign Manny Machado" which I surmised was a plea rather than a statement of fact . Wonder if it's a Soxtalker.

Flash Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Announcers not overly enthusiastic re: Roberts due to lack of exposure resulting from injuries. He didn't look very patient at the plate. On the other hand, thy were effusive regarding Vlad Jr. ("best hit tool I've seen in last 30 years") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 Danny Dopico's first 2 AFL games combined: 1.2 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 0 K Danny Dopico's five games after that: 8 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 12 K Dude can be filthy when he's on. Not sure if those first two games were just nerves or lack of prep (he was added to the AFL at the last minute) or if this is just more of his inconsistency, but he's got the stuff to be a major leaguer when he's got it going.

I honestly don't know the name, is he someone who can be a starter or will he another young reliever in our system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reliever. Read this article, 4th pitcher down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yesterday333 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 With Robert playing so well in the AFL does this affect whether he starts at A+ or AA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion, but he only has 140 PA at A+. He needs to start at Winston-Salem. Rutherford, Basabe, Call, & Booker should start at Birmingham. Luis Gonzalez, Luis Robert, & Micker Adolfo should start at Winston-Salem. That would be a fun outfield to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Gonzalez should definitely be in AA. And I think I might push Basabe to AAA to relieve the pressure there for roster space. But I agree that Robert and Adolfo could use more seasoning in A+.

Gonzalez needs to start the year in AA. Adolfo already being on the 40 man & burning options pretty much means he’ll be assigned to AA when he returns from TJS. I agree that Robert should start in High A though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to rush a legit prospect and if Micker isn’t ready right away there’s much less of a logjam IMO. Call and/or Booker can always be pushed to AAA if need be.

Basabe was 1 for 2 that game . He stole 2nd ahead of the hit he scored on by Robert. He also had 3 walks and threw out Hiura at 2nd base .

skooch Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 (edited) From this angle it looks like he actually hit the ball out of the stadium. It heads toward the sign in the outfield but I can't see it bouncing back into the field or down on to the berm. Edited November 9, 2018 by skooch Was a sign not a scoreboard.

Jose Abreu Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Luis Robert is gonna have an Acuna-like rise in the minors. I thought it would happen this year but he couldn't stay on the field. If he stays healthy next year, he'll be knocking on the door of an MLB promotion by August (and will receive the promotion on or around April 15, 2020).

Not only that, but over that extra advertising sign at the top of the stores out there. That was a moonshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
