I meant anywhere at the pro level. If he stays he’s a starter. Sorry for the confusion.

Jobert comes back. He doesn’t have an MLB future


That doesn't mean he doesn't have a long minor league career and start playing professionally. shite you say Travinski's power plays, well Jobert's left handed power bat is a plus tool too. Milazzo was even talking last night about going professionally. I would not expect either Jobert or Travinski back next season.

I'm not sure Trav doesn't move to 1B or why doesn't he. Tall with power and save his energy for swings.

You people do realize the MLB draft doesn't place teams directly on MLB rosters right? He can be drafted and teams help him improve whatever skills they need in their farm system.

No shite dumbass. The only players who even have a shot at moving up through the minors that quickly are crews and Skenes.

That's a grind of a life that doesn't pay well. If he has aspirations of having a family, he ain't leaving to be a minor league player.

He believes in himself so he is not thinking his ceiling is the minors. Austin Nola grinded it out for years before making it to the Majors. Its really not that hard to understand.

That’s not how the decision process works at all.

This ain't happening

DH or maybe 1B but no chance at catching in MLB

Wtf how many players do you think go pro with the expectation they’re going to be in the MLB in a year?

Jobert seemed a little off yesterday at the plate.

They always want to come back until the checks show up

Maybe NIL can help counter but I’m not betting on it

Probably true, but not bad to have as an emergency catcher. MLB roster spots are at premium until they expand near the end of season

Jobert better start praying to Jobu if he ever wants to sniff The Show.

So are you calling Johnson a liar? Or just a clueless idiot?

If Neal plays again this season, you should be banned for two years.

You can take a two year break now

If a pitcher is dealing solid breaking pitches, Jobert might as well have a blind fold on at the plate.

Can crank a fastball or a hanging breaker, but if it's moving a lot, he misses the ball by the length of a Sonic Coney.

False. He’s not an MLB catcher nor has a remote chance of catching in the MLB. His stock would be higher coming back swinging like he does and learning how to play 1B.

His hot streak has been entirely during SEC play and the postseason. He's proving he can hit top tier arms. Learning to play first base would be a lot easier in Low A when you play every single day and can dedicate hours a day to highly specific training.

Just use Beloso as an example... and a national championship will have a big impact on decisions!
