May 29, 20196 yr There are few things as beautiful to me as Tim Anderson going from 1st to Home, especially when he rounds 3rd. And soon I can add to that Luis Robert going from Home to Third. Although Tim runs so much more violently than robert so it's still kinda more fun to me.

Anderson runs kind of like a moron, it's amazing that he's so fast. Robert looks like a sprinter. That dude should be playing wide out for the bears.

He's really bad getting out of the box, but when he gets going it's like seeing old timey roberto clemente clips where he's flailing his arms and sliding in to the base like a mortal combat finishing move. I love it.
May 29, 20196 yr Rutherford is on the younger side still. Repeating wouldn’t be the end of the world. Robert should hit AAA and reach majors when service time issues dictates. I know as a fans this is frustrating but it’s about winning long term. If he’s extendable in summer he should start CF 2020.

May 30, 20196 yr Madrigal! If there's a player that can adjust and evolve to get to the most of his abilities, it's him. Don't give up hope.

May 30, 20196 yr Author I imagine that Cease is getting called up relatively soon. They seem to be letting him go deeper and deeper into games.

May 30, 20196 yr 5 hours ago, SoxAce said: Keep in mind Eloy had over 800+ more AB's in the minors than Robert before he hit AAA. Obviously development is linear with some (and Robert did play in a pro league as a youngster) but he hasn't been Juan Soto good either. I like him hitting AAA this year too though to finish out the year. We'll see where he's at in 2020. Personally, I can't wait to see him in the futures game (which he will be a shoe in to be picked). It's all about leagues and parks in the minors. Robert's wRC+ after today is going to be around 170. Juan Soto's AA wRC+ was 171. In that park Robert is absolutely dominating.
