Eric Logenham of Fangraphs was at sox camp about 3 weeks ago. Said Roberts had the best raw power of anyone he saw, including Eloy and Burger.

Said he can hit out to all fields where eloy seems pull oriented right now.

Fangraphs top prospects list.

https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/2018-top-100-prospects/

Sox get

6 Eloy
20 Kopech
21 Robert
72 Hansen
89 Burdi
91 Collins

San Diego's top prospect is now Tatis Jr. ccomes in at 5th overall. I guess tatis ended up not being a throw away after all.

Interesting Olympics/Sox story Eddy Alvarez

I meet Elise Christie of the UK once, her legs were like tree trunks. I can see why he's so fast.

IMO, Hansen is too low. I can see Burdi being a ? after surgery and Collins hasn't shown enough with the bat yet, although he heated up a bit 2nd half.

A little surprised not to see Burger, but I think he'll be on that list soon enough. I probably have him ahead of Collins and Burdi right now.

Charlotte won their opener. Covey actually pitched well & got the win

The Knights look fairly good, Jacob May and Eddie Alvarez aren't even starting - tho Alvarez should.

The only weakness I see is starting pitching.
