Maybe he should always pitch with the flu. Or atleast get an IV before every game.

God I hope not

These are great

Yeah but he knows basketball and has basketball stories. He seemed to know about as much about baseball as my wife.

The craziest thing Bill Walton said tonight was "Give Ricky a contract extension"

Can someone put together a top 10 or top 50 Bill Walton quotes from this game?

I hope so cause it sounds like the ramblings of insane man

A Will Farrell Bill Walton broadcast would be a must see

After listening to a couple innings of Bill Walton I was going to make a joke but the more he went on the more I think he needs some help. Seriously. Either rehab or a mental institution or some medication. Hes losing it/lost it.

I think Mercedes is a better defensive catcher at this point.

Hopefully it would be Cole & Wood

I am definitely not saying he is by any means a great or even ok catcher defensively but if the guy can hit then you have to find him a spot. Problem with that quote is that now he is beating up AAA pitching. Your list should come with an * saying 26 and older not included.

Can't base how good a catcher is on just pb stats. Some of that's on the pitcher. Someone has got to catch. Whether it be Collins, Mercedes or Zavala. Even if Mercedes is the backup catcher or DH he should probably be on the list. Burger is most likely a DH. Or is it the fact that at 26 he is too old to be on a prospect list?

How do you know or where did you read that he can't play catcher? Hes 5'11 225. Very compareable to some good mlb catchers. He has thrown out a decent amount of runners.

Just an org guy who is crushing AAA. Seriously? 1.028 OPS. 7 hr 26 RBI in 21 games at AAA. At this point he might be the best catching prospect we have in the org.

Mercedes?

Ricky is Moist

Preach Brotha Sir

Robert 3.167 OPS in AAA so far

But why aren't you buying it that he will be able to be a catcher at the MLB level? No one has giving a solid answer to why hes a bad catcher.

Any chance that Bummer could transition to being a starter? I know this is probably a stupid question but it looks like he has an easy release and good control. I know he has never been a starter since college.

The speed of Moncada, Robert, Madrigal & Anderson is going to be ridiculous. And power of Eloy, Abreu & Vaughn. Yikes.

I don't think that anyone is calling for him to come up soon and I'm a big fan of him as anyone. Hes putting up great numbers but we have McCann & Collins right now. Unless used as a DH. And if beef comes back theres just no room. Rather see Mercedes playing every day. But he is 26 and not getting any younger.

Great post. Robert needs to learn how to fail & succeed at the MLB level. Only reason he is still in the minors is because of service control.

Batting .458 1.375 OPS, guys a bum. Thanks for your in depth analysis.
