Bring him up now - he's perfect for what we're trying to do

Yea, night was the nail in the trade him this year coffin.

Rabbit(mania) because, words words words words words words words words... poop.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ May 26, 2017 -> 04:09 PM) https://mobile.twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/...227078843490304 Callis slotting Robert in at #27 overall. Now have 7 players in the top 100 per pipeline, second only to Atlanta's 8. Should add a few more by July too between the draft and trades. As we all hope

Quintana is proving this year that you can't win in speculating baseball... ever.

He's a jackass. Listen to the CSN Chicago podcast that went up today around the 8:30 mark. He was asked if the scouts who Law had talked with any scouts of teams who had interest in Robert. "NO no no no - stop stop stop stop. I'm not even entertaining that question, that's insulting. No, it's really insulting. I've been doing this a really long time, I've been dealing with scouts a really long time... these are people I know well and I also understand... uh... I know exactly what you where going to say and I think it's ridiculous." Comes off as a completely arrogant pompous egotistical jerk.

Well, that's not on Nightengale. He's just reporting what fell apart due to Washingtons $ issues at the ownership level.

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 22, 2017 -> 08:41 PM) lol...ok Nightengale. What about it is funny to you?

QUOTE (bmags @ May 22, 2017 -> 02:39 PM) I just want to reiterate the need we get more production out of INTL scouting. Washington signed Robles for 225k. Atlanta signed Albies for 350k. Signed Acuna for 100k. NWe are prepared to send out a 1st round pick for players we could have identified ourselves. These aren't the crazy bonuses of players or even million dollar signings like Torres and Juan Soto. Drives me nuts how almost all of our trade targets were largely bargain J2 signings. +1101011011

QUOTE (Sockin @ May 22, 2017 -> 02:29 PM) FWIW Law was just on ESPN and said he hasn't seen him in person but the scouts he's talked to that has have given him mixed reviews. He said every scout said he can run and the power is there but no one is sure he's going to be able to hit. He said is he were in this year's draft he'd be picked in the teens. Anywhere between top teen 2017 draft pick to immediate top 25 - 30 prospect in baseball to best non-MLB player on the planet. We've also read that he may have some issues with laying off the high heat and breaking stuff. Sounds like most young guys to me. I'll take what Law said as cautiously as what Callis said.

He's also a bunny rabbit right now on instagram.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ May 21, 2017 -> 07:30 PM) Don't even think the pic he used is Robert. First thing I noticed as well

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 21, 2017 -> 06:57 PM) Also known as "contrarians for clicks". alliteration and consonance for the win

I wonder if we'll have a Rodon sighting when the teams in Arizona and / or hear anything from him.

QUOTE (ypres @ May 21, 2017 -> 06:44 PM) What the f*** is his problem? Well, for one... he's a bad writer.

Awful Article

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 21, 2017 -> 04:37 PM) 12th in the draft I hope that we lose 80% of our remaining games while seeing great performances from the following players: Quintana Gonzalez Holand Frazier Cabrera A Garcia Abreu L Garcia Davidson Robertson Swarzak Kahnle Holmberg Ynoa Yea, I know. Won't happen... can't have cake and eat it to. Yada yada yada. Let a man dream.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 21, 2017 -> 01:26 PM) five baseball points! I don't know why but referring to runs as baseball points.... is absolutely awesome!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 21, 2017 -> 01:17 PM) They talked a lot about it on pregame last night One bummer of being out of market and using MLB.tv I guess.

So I guess they're waiting until the deal with Robert is finalized before talking about it in a game broadcast. Haven't heard anything today or yesterday from our commentators.

Very nice

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 21, 2017 -> 10:45 AM) What are your thoughts on the 7th instead of 8th pick in the '15 draft? Case in point... exactly.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 21, 2017 -> 09:08 AM) Such a bizarre comment, wasn't it? Pretty cool way of circumventing rules and telephoning in intentions for the fan base to decipher

Garcia = "Once Major League Baseball clears Garcia to sign, he will be exempt from the international bonus pools, which means he can sign without restrictions." Also has a long swing prone to low contact and pitch recognition. Pass. Brain, unf***ed.
