I have no idea how you can trade the guy coming off a .657 OPS season. Talk about selling low.

Then he will turn it on. This is a tale as old as time. Yeah, but you should see Robert play Tee Ball these days. I hear he can hit over .300.

October 2, 20241 yr He literally looks like a toddler swinging at the tee. What the actual H? Edited October 2, 20241 yr by 46DidIt
October 2, 20241 yr What would you do if you were Luis? Hire a coach? Are there pitching machines available that approximate real major league pitching or those that help you identify curves, sliders, changeups, strikes? He could make millions more if he can figure it out.
October 2, 20241 yr I get that the stats look bad for 2024, but I hesitate to apply the word "trend" to this given the 100 game sample size, his 2023 year and career numbers, his injuries this season, and how historically awful this organization was this year. I personally think Luis will be ok. Maybe not the nintendo player everyone projected, but an .800+ OPS 4 WAR player.

You can count on it for next year too.

They've had a hole in CF for a long time and will create it again.

It's easy actually.JR says I need the $15M Robert's getting in 2025 for something else. Trade him for what you can get for him .Get it done before opening day, just don't give them any money.

October 3, 20241 yr 47 minutes ago, Greg Hibbard said: Nice work moving the goalposts! I almost didn’t see it. I just look at trends. He got hurt in the minors. He was hurt in every year in the majors but 2023. No doubt a full season rather than a third of a season he gets hurt. There’s one aberration where he plays more than 100 games. The numbers are what the numbers are.

His minors injury record is a fair point. Maybe I’m too optimistic but I’m so sick of injuries.

Teams lining up to low-ball the Sox just like at the trade deadline. Prospect hoarding , bad season, plus Jerry's desperate for cash = trash offers = either not trading him in the off-season or a trade no one will be happy with.

October 3, 20241 yr 2 hours ago, Greg Hibbard said: Nice work moving the goalposts! I almost didn’t see it. 63% of the season wasn’t played that year. Not sure that qualifies as moving the goal post. He only played 35% of a season’s worth of games

No doubt a full season rather than a third of a season he gets hurt. There’s one aberration where he plays more than 100 games. The numbers are what the numbers are. From 2018-2020 Aaron Judge played 65% of his team’s games. For many, he had a reputation of never being able to stay healthy. From 2021-2024 he’s played 88% of the team’s games. I’m not comparing their talent, but there’s no way you can tell me that either was particularly predictable. Injuries can go a lot of different ways, even when a player gets hurt a lot in multiple years.
October 3, 20241 yr At least Robert allegedly is good defensively. If you want to win 49-55 games next season you better keep Robert and Crochet. In theory Robert could have a decent year at the plate. Without Crochet the Sox start all unknowns once again. And the bullpen as it stands has a lot of bodies but is abysmal. To Sox fans. If Sox trade Robert and Crochet do you see about 40-50 wins again? Maybe 35-45 wins?
