That is the correct pronunciation, according to the guy who created GIFs. He came on the score last year with Goff and Spiegel and set them straight http://www.cnn.com/2013/05/22/tech/web/pronounce-gif/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Just because the guy who created the term wants to pronounce the G in GIF (which stands for "Graphics") like "Giraffe-ics", doesn't make him right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was honestly one of the first times I had ever heard that (acronymn ?) pronounced, so I took note of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have to be murdering the ball in the minors to reach the mlb within the next year. He's very talented, but he should not be rushed since we are rebuilding anyways.

The one thing it made me do was wonder if the Sox made some promises about how quickly he would move through the system, or if that is just Robert's level of confidence coming out.

Possibly, but it would be tough to put a timetable on him reaching the majors without seeing how he performs against single A competition. I personally feel like he should be in Kannapolis right away getting reps, but I do understand that he has not played competitive baseball in awhile and the DZL can be a helpful transition.

Doubtful. Even though minor league life is tough, Robert already has 30m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought about that too. But Zack Collins has said similar things. I am not sure it's such a unique mindset among our prospects.

chitownsportsfan Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Man it must be brutal in the sun out there in that league. At least in the Caribbean you get the moderating ocean breezes and nice coolish evenings. Probably not many day games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
