May 20, 20178 yr How high does he enter our prospect rankings? #2? How much are we paying in penalties?
May 20, 20178 yr So how does one now transition out of Luis Robert obsession mode and get some work done today?
May 20, 20178 yr Man I am so psyched. The silence this morning had me going nuts, and even though I hate this phrase, I really did feel like we already burned the boats and it was a disaster if we missed out.
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 20, 2017 -> 02:18 PM) How high does he enter our prospect rankings? #2? How much are we paying in penalties? Kopech has been too good, he probably slots in at 3
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 20, 2017 -> 02:18 PM) How high does he enter our prospect rankings? #2? How much are we paying in penalties? I think we had maybe $1 mill in clear so double it and subtract $1 million.

May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) How high does he enter our prospect rankings? #2? How much are we paying in penalties? #2 or #3 25 - 30m in penalties and banned for 2 years from more than 300k signings
May 20, 20178 yr Jesse Sanchez @JesseSanchezMLB 18s Source: Cuban OF prospect Luis Robert finalizing deal with #WhiteSox worth more than $25 million. Confirming @Ken_Rosenthal report.
May 20, 20178 yr Also, ignorant question, but how does this work? $25 mill is the bonus? And he'll just come up with six years of control like everyone else? Why was it different for Abreu?

May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 20, 2017 -> 12:49 PM) Did anyone ever clarify how to pronounce his name? Spiegel and Parkins kept saying Ro-bear until Rick Camp or Jay Zawaski said a Baseball America writer says "Robert."

And he'll just come up with six years of control like everyone else? Why was it different for Abreu? 25m = 7 years of control Abreu, since he was older... 68m = 6 year deal with option to opt out That's my understanding at least
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 20, 2017 -> 07:18 PM) How high does he enter our prospect rankings? #2? How much are we paying in penalties? Probably #3 behind Moncada & Kopech.

May 20, 20178 yr OMG this is exciting. I was convinced much of yesterday we were losing him to St. Louis. I still want to see the Sox release news on this. But... YESSS!!!!!
May 20, 20178 yr QUOTE (hi8is @ May 20, 2017 -> 02:18 PM) So how does one now transition out of Luis Robert obsession mode and get some work done today? Ain't happening. Just pop the top on a cool one and ride the wave!
