Do you think Luis Robert figures out the breaking ball this year and becomes a star? Or is the last month of what we saw what we will see this year?

Closer to the last month, I'd say

His full-season line feels a lot like what you can expect

3:29

Tremendous CF defense, great power on contact, bat-to-ball skills are streaky, pitch recognition is not great

There's definitely a chance he figures out pitch recognition and if he does

Look out

But he's not Yoan Moncada where he has strikeout issues that can mostly vanish

Moncada was never hte free swinger that Robert is

and Moncada still strikes out too much!

Hey Ben, What did you think were the big misses of the MiLB contraction announcement in terms of the 160 teams? Any that really surprised you?

I haven't done enough research into this to really know, to be honest

Fresno getting jobbed down to Low-A is kinda rough, but is that worse than Jackson? I dunno

Vermont Lake Monsters as well

I know that Burlington loved having them

On that note, everyone, I'm going to call it a day. Thanks a lot for hanging out, and for all the great questions. There were surprisngly more than I could keep up with today, so I'll try to keep up a little better next week. Have a great day!
