White Sox prospect Luis Robert will not be rushed
Luis Robert homered twice in his 2019 debut Thursday night time at Class A Winston-Salem, a degree that appears beneath him. Talent sensible, there’s little question that it's, and whereas a promotion to AA Birmingham shouldn’t be too far-off, anticipating to see the middle fielder in a White Sox uniform this season could be a stretch. “He obviously had a pretty good night last night, so people are ready for him to be here next week,” normal supervisor Rick Hahn mentioned earlier than the Sox’ residence opener Friday at Guaranteed Rate Field. “On one hand, from a tool set and talent standpoint, absolutely his tools are as strong as many at the big league level already. However, from
Red Sox Prospect Report: Reassessing The Farm System Through First Quarter Of Season
It’s a weird time for the Boston Red Sox farm system given the overhaul at the major league level in the last 18 months or so.

76ers Prospect Russ Smith Breaks D-League Scoring Record, Loses Anyway (Videos)
It’s arguably the most Philadelphia 76ers story ever: Sixers prospect Russ Smith, currently playing for the Delaware 87ers, broke the NBA D-League scoring record with 65 points against the Canton Charge on Wednesday, yet his team lost by 11 points. Smith managed just four assists in the loss (despite averaging eight per game) while adding three turnovers and a minus-eight plus/minus rating.
