Ep. 40: Searching for the truth about Luis Robert with Keith Law and Jesse Sanchez
With the White Sox expected to sign highly coveted Cuban prospect Luis Robert, there are many questions left unanswered about him: how good or great can he be? How do we even pronounce his last name? There have been various opinions to both. In this podcast, Chuck Garfien and Ryan McGuffey interview Keith Law senior baseball writer for ESPN.com and Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com whose reporting on Robert have unveiled two different projections about the 19-year-old outfielder. A high ranking scouting director told Sanchez that Robert "is the best player on the planet." Scouts who have spoken to Law question Robert's hitting and Law passionately defends his sources on the podcast. Then later, Chuck and Ryan answer questions from Facebook Live about what prospects Sox fans are most excited to see play in a Sox uniform.
