Yeah but atlanta is in win now mode. So they rushed acuña cause they needed the impact. Sox ain't winning this year. No need to expose Robert and burn a year of service on a lost season. With Robert or not the sox ain't winning anything in 19. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this the rationale everyone keeps using? If he's ready he should play. His development needs to happen at the MLB level at this point. Pushing that off to next year helps no one and hurts them next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the speed, but he is just not a good base stealer He stole 50 or so his first year in minors, but that was probably 15-20 pounds ago.

Just because players havent been able to prove their case in front of an arbiter because it's really difficult to argue something that is subjective... it doesn't make it OK or correct. What is Robert working on in AA right now? The excuse with Eloy was defense centric. What's the made up nonsense regarding Robert? I'm a White Sox fan. I want to see the best players the White Sox have play for their team. Robert is one of those players.

I am not convinced Robert is ready, but if you want to contend in 2020, isn’t better to let him adjust to the league now when the games don’t matter?

He's been the best all around player in MiLB this year. If he's not ready then no one is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see giving him ABs in AAA to sharpen his eye on outside breaking balls cuz that is how he’s going to be attacked, but fundamentally, I agree with you.

He has done well, but 200 or so more professional at bats in the minors won’t kill him, and I would much rather have a 5-tool CF at the age of 28 hitting his peak as a major league player, potentially delivering a 6 WAR year in a season the Sox will be assuredly competitive than a couple of months of him figuring it out to satisfy your impatience.

Don't even bother, you'll never convince him that rushing Robert to the big leagues due to lack of patience is pure stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Just sign him to a modest 7 year extension ala Eloy. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
