If this is true and they move Robert do AA and he does well there, it would not surprise me if they promote him straight to the majors from there.
I might be reading in between the lines here but this also might be fan interest related. I don't know if they realized how low the interest would be with the team this year and they know if they get the younger guys up here it would drive it up a little. Before anyone tells me that's ridiculous this is the White Sox we're talking about.
