April 5, 20196 yr Just please stay healthy! There might not be anyone with a higher ceiling in the system, and I am not kidding.

I think Moncada and Robert are kind even based on position, but Robert has a chance to be a 40-50 HR guy and Moncada might have a couple seasons in the 40 range. Robert has stupid power.

April 5, 20196 yr 7 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: Robert is going to skyrocket up prospect lists this year. He has a real chance to be every bit of the hitter Eloy is with average to plus defense in CF. If he stays healthy it wouldn't surprise me if he's top 5 or even #1 by the postseason list. Robert actually is a 5 tool talent. Man, while I would love this, is Robert's hit tool that good? Eloy was filthy with the bat in the minors last year. I'd be surprised if he is as good of a hitter as Eloy.
April 5, 20196 yr Looks like they should have sent him to Birmingham, instead of Winston Salem. He'll need to be challenged a little more.

April 5, 20196 yr It will be interesting to see Collins at the plate this year in Charlotte, which is a noted bandbox. Maybe the park at Birmingham suppressed his numbers.

April 5, 20196 yr Though I think there is a chance Robert could be a great hitter, I think his most likely outcome might be Alfonso Soriano's best years.

April 5, 20196 yr I honestly have a hard time saying Robert has a higher ceiling than Moncada and it's meant as nothing negative about Robert
