EVERYONE has struggled in the White Sox line-up against him, OTHER than Eloy and Yoan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantera can hit 50 HR. Let's enjoy them batting 1-2 in the lineup for the next 5 years. I agree. Moncada has "one of the game's best" potential. Robert has "the game's best" potential.

joejoesox Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 I think Moncada has a higher ceiling than Robert, but I understand the hype around Robert. I think Yoans hit tool is much more advanced at least at this stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 As @fathom has said in the past, if Robert isn't the best prospect in baseball, Wander Franco must be amazing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Frankel is having a tough series. And I think it's going to be a long night with Benetti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunzaan Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Out of curiosity, where did the Pantera nickname originate? Panther I’ve seen before (in Spanish) but I’ve never seen pantera.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert plays a more premium position though so he's definitely the more valuable player. Glad both are on my team for the next 6+ years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both have the ability to be top 5 players in the game. Just how good can both be? Time will tell. I'm glad we get to have it. Based on the approach I've seen from Robert he's going to learn to take his walks as well. Edited August 1, 2020 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Didn’t quite get pitching around Bubba Starling, who is not much of a hitter to begin with. But I guess it worked out in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Collins will now miss the narrow window of opportunity to be a starting catcher with the contract to Grandal. It might be best for Collins career if they trade him. He could start on some other teams. I am anxious to see how Vaughn will develop defensively at first and how he will hit in the minors next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
