December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:38 PM) As much as I'd love Gioloto or Lopez back we need another young position player with star potential. I personally rather have Robles than either of them. Call me crazy. For Eaton and how cheap and control we have, we can get Robles and 2 of Giolito/Fedde/Lopez imo
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) No, confirms that we're in [insert phrase], not that it's done "In talks to acquire." That usually means advanced stages.
December 7, 20169 yr Why do people like Robles exactly? From looking at stats, he seems to be several years away and generally has the same skill set as Adam Eaton. No idea about defense. What is the point of this?

That would be awesome to get those guys but if we don't get Robles I'd be disappointed for sure.
December 7, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:30 PM) If this happens, I don't think it's an accident Sale and Eaton went first and second. Yep.
December 7, 20169 yr Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 20s Sources: #Nationals close to acquiring Eaton from #WhiteSox. Robles not in deal. Edited December 7, 20169 yr by Sleepy Harold

December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:40 PM) Why do people like Robles exactly? From looking at stats, he seems to be several years away and generally has the same skill set as Adam Eaton. No idea about defense. What is the point of this? Victor Robles Scouting: Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 45 | Run: 70 | Arm: 65 | Field: 60 | Overall: 60 That is the potential to be an all star center fielder^^^ Those types of players don't grow on trees
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) No Robles. Ken Rosenthal Sources: #Nationals close to acquiring Eaton from #WhiteSox. Robles not in deal. Giolito, Lopez, Severino would work.

From looking at stats, he seems to be several years away and generally has the same skill set as Adam Eaton. No idea about defense. What is the point of this? He has elite speed, plus defensive, plus contact, and they say he can develope power once he grows into his body. He's approach is also said to be advanced. In the next year or two he could very well be the top prospect in MLB.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) No Robles. Ken Rosenthal Sources: #Nationals close to acquiring Eaton from #WhiteSox. Robles not in deal. With no Robles it would have to have Giolito or Lopez as the headliner. Disappointing to hear no Robles, but I'm sure there will be some solid depth if a deal gets done

From looking at stats, he seems to be several years away and generally has the same skill set as Adam Eaton. No idea about defense. What is the point of this? He is described as being a very smart baseball player for his age. Advanced 2-strike approach with a 60 hit tool. Elite speed, elite defense. His skill grades when added up are nearly the same as Moncada. Very bummed if we don't get.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (MEANS @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) Robles not in it per Rosenthal Damn that sucks, loading up on pitching
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) Giolito, Lopez, Severino would work. I would strongly consider Giolito, Lopez and Severino
December 7, 20169 yr No Robles?? What other position player do they have worthy?? Giolito and 1 of Ross/Lopez/Fedde...sure nice start, but who else is involved? Hope we don't over value someone like Severino just because it's been a while since we've had a decent C.
December 7, 20169 yr So it has to be Giolito and Severino and one more piece...Fedde? Lopez? Edited December 7, 20169 yr by caulfield12
December 7, 20169 yr http://www.espn.com/mlb/war/leaders Eaton ranked 15th in baseball in WAR last year according to espn http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...=&players=0 fangraphs has him ranked 11th in war you guys will have to find the bwar/fwar stuff, can't find it anywhere
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:43 PM) Damn that sucks, loading up on pitching Which is what we're actually good at developing on our own.
December 7, 20169 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) How the f*** is Robles not in the deal Because others are and he doesn't really fit the timeline, especially if the Sox trade away all of their assets?
December 7, 20169 yr At this point basically the only pitchers I care about have to throw ambidextrously or 105 mph for me to care. Position players much more fun.
