Thread: Nate Roberts

surprised nobody had him yet.
23 yr old LH hitting OF was a 48th round pick by Tampa in 2009 and a 5th round pick by MN in 2010.

The 6'1 200lb Roberts hit .416/.575/.746 as a jr for High Point University (NC)..3rd team All American

His first yr in Beloit ,after not joining the team till May 1 & despite playing only 7gm after July 6, was solid.

As a 5th round pick & 23 yr old, why hasnt he moved up.....he should be more of a prospect & he has performed.
His .894 Beloit OPS is actually higher than Miguel Sano's .848.
Is MN sticking him in Beloit cause Lance Ray (.204) Angel Morales (.213) Danny Rams (.194) & Dan Ortiz (.274) are blocking him????

Interesting as I definitely would have taken him if I noticed he was still available!

He must be moving up soon. They could probably even push Ortiz up if they needed to.

Realize its injuries that have held him back but his 2 yr totals in BEL equal one injury free minor league season
Low A totals
