Robert has been a consensus top 10 prospect in baseball and signed a new six-year, $50 million contract with the White Sox this offseason. That contract virtually guarantees his spot on the Opening Day roster.
The 22-year-old has been impressive early on in spring training. He is hitting .333/.394/.567 with a home run, three stolen bases and three walks in 11 games.
This magazine cover is just an extra piece of hype on a growing pile.
