Whatever was laying around. This wasn't a scientific process.

This story sounds like bullshit. The year Luis Robert got to 6 home runs in A+ was in 2019. During that year, it took him a mere 13 games to get to 6 home runs. He was promoted from A+ after 19 games while posting a ridiculous .920 slugging percentage. Who would doubt the power potential of a guy with that robust slugging percentage and home run rate? The repeated use of "kid" and "little" is cringeworthy. Your buddy sounds jealous tbh.

They might chirp a bit but there’s not a ton of people heading to Houston from Austin on game nights. Having a rival might help create interest as much as hurt through a little loss of TV eyes.

Damn - I though this was going to be a thread about a new and improved Texsox .

I have a pro scout buddy who has a great Luis Robert story. The first time he saw Robert was in high A and he gave him one of the highest grades he's ever put on a player. A couple days later he got a call from one of the nerds in the geek squad. He gave him a 70 power grade and the kid told him he has to change it. He asked why he has to do that and the kid said because Robert only has 6 home runs so he can't give him a 70 power grade. My buddy told him it's a future power grade. The kid had no idea what that meant so he explained to him what a pro scout does and how they give present and future grades. After he was finished the kid was quiet and then said so you're going to change it, right. The exasperation in his voice was hysterical. He said no we're going to keep the grade as it is and again the kid said that he only has 6 home runs. He just didn't get it. I asked if he ever brought it up later and he said he hasn't because the little dumbass is now the director of minor league development. Unbelievable.
