    Luis Robert is that player you create on The Show and think "Haha, if only in real life... "

    lol Robert HR

After these 2 homers, Robert sits at a cool 1.603 OPS in AAA.

This is the opposing team's announcer lol

Madrigal with a double. Hit it hard too.

Robert is a BEAST!

I expect him to be a doubles machine when he takes over in RF in 2021.  He will be able to spray the ball around the field and also turn on some balls for HR.  He might just not have the power many want in a RF but I'm looking for a 1-9 lineup that puts the pressure on opposing pitchers with no let up.

Being dismayed at how bad Robert is kicking your team's ass is the perfect opposing call imo

He doesn't have a plus tool but he does have a bag of 5's which means he should be a league avg RF.  I'll take that.

FYI, Glass and Krogman making their professional debuts. Both are in the AZL lineup tonight (playing RF and LF respectively).

Grindiness

RBI double for Collins (off a lefty).

That's what I've been wondering. His numbers aren't anything special, and it's not like he's young for his level

Wish gameday for AZL wasn’t so terrible.

Despaigne 7 shutout innings, no walks, mercy

same thing for Tomshaw in AA

And of course Alek Thomas looks like a future top 25 prospect (I can't believe he's been so good, as I didn't hear anyone who saw him last year that saw this coming)

Oh no, are we gonna see his "no warming up" ass on the South Side again this year?

I was actually thinking about him earlier today and wondering why the Sox did not take him especially with their past history of drafting relatIves of staff members.

Part of me hopes Robert puts up a 10 WAR season just so I can read all the salty tears of butthurt Cardinals fans for all time on Twitter.

What a fucking beast.  Jesus.  He might make Eloy play 2nd fiddle in that OF in Chicago.

Remember this? Maybe the scout was right? If the Sox have a perennial 10 WAR player on their hands that alters the entire outlook of the franchise.

 

It's interesting that they called him a 1B in that article.  I figured he was always an OF.

Thomas is an actual legit player where the other family members kids are just favors.  Also they most likely didn't want the added pressure of being Alan's son and being a home town kid.  Let him make a name for himself in another organization.  That's a very common practice.  

Mercy.  

Andrew Perez has a nasty slider. I can see why the Sox like him.
