April 14, 20196 yr Good lord, Spencer Adams is not good and The Knights have made 5 errors so far. 2 throws by Seby.

April 14, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, Sox Fan In Husker Land said: Robert in 9 games at WS this year hitting .475 with an OPS of 1.537 ? He needs to be in Birmingham. Not because of a 9 game sample but because he was too talented to start in A+ to begin with.

This is looking more and more like the case. Not a single person on here or in the Sox organization knew that going into this season though. What a pleasant surprise.

What a pleasant surprise. No, I think everyone *knew* he was this talented. It was about staying healthy for Robert. He is, and that immense talent is on display. I'd have him in A until May 1 and then honestly, I'd skip AA and have him play in AAA until the season ends. Put his ass in CF to open 2020 in Chicago.

Nobody knew. That was the big mystery. Starting him in AA would have been way too risky and stupid. If he would have started off slow, all the reactionary-and-blame types on here would have crucified the FO for starting him in AA. So glad they made the right call 100% with regard to Robert. Looks like it might pay huge dividends.

You move somebody like Booker to AAA. Robert should be in AA.
April 14, 20196 yr Robert is an MLB player. Scouts differ on how good of a player is. The crazy thing is the ceiling for him is a perennial all-star in some assessments. A lot to like here. And Madrigal playing well is an awesome sign

April 14, 20196 yr With Eloy up, Kopech rehabbing from TJS, Robert tearing it up and Cease picking up where he left off last year in AAA, the top prospect for the White Sox is an interesting debate right now. If you don't count Eloy, is Kopech still next in line? You could probably make an argument for all three. The rest of the pack behind them isn't doing a ton so far, but the system is crazy top heavy.

To me it's Robert. Although I would've said that before the season started too. His ceiling is just so high.
April 14, 20196 yr Really nice day for the farm system all the way around. It would be great if Pilkington turned into a legit prospect.

I noticed at the game I was at that when gets on the base-paths, he seems to have a protective glove for his hand. But obviously that wouldn’t be relevant for when he hits a triple.

Frank Thomas actually mentioned having Robert skip AA and send him to AAA. And Frank is a guy who went from AA to the major leagues.

April 14, 20196 yr If you crush it in Birmingham you can make it in the majors. when Anderson survived Birmingham it was the sign he’d be alright.
April 14, 20196 yr I'd let all prospects skip Birmingham. It's where hitters go to die. ? On a serious note, I wonder if playing there affects development. It seems like a hard park to succeed. It certainly can't help confidence.
April 14, 20196 yr Can't wait for Cease, Collins, and Madrigal to be up Bye, bye McCann/Castillo, Ervin, and co.
