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

Assigned to ELIZ as a 21 yr old, he dominated as a solid 5th round college player should

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

This season, Roberts was kept in Beloit for a 2nd season but didnt begin till May 23 due to injuries.

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.

good time to examine Nate's 2 Beloit seasons as he has 68 gms played each of last 2 yrs.

2011

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
