Edgy MD Site Manager Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Dying for attention, I am. I'm Hansel Robles, and despite a name that sounds like I'm from the Antlilles or something, I'm just another Dominican. But I'm not JUST another Dominican. I threw 110 innings last season, bouncing between the rotation and the pen — 18 starts, 12 relief appearances — and I shamed not my people. Struck out 106, walked 43 and put up a 4.31 ERA. Some up and down in that stat line, you say? Well, it got me added to the Mets roster, so quit laughing. You Brooklynites may remember that I won a Sterling Award after going 6–1, 1.11 against NY–Penn League hitters for the Cyclones back in 2012.Yeah, that Hansel Robles.Yeah, I see you. You're sitting there like a dope, still trying to distinguish me from Gabriel Ynoa and Rainy Lara and los Luises Cessa y Hilario. You thought you were so smart, didn't you? Well, tell me what you see for me in 2015.
Guest themetfairy Guests Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I don't have any photos, but he looked like absolute crap against the Red Sox last Sunday. There is no way that Hansel is going to be Major League ready this season, if ever.
Ceetar Grand Central Contributor Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 He's got a sister named Gretel that's pretty good though.
Guest themetfairy Guests Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Seriously - what kind of a name is Hansel?
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 It's a German kind of name. And it's glorious!Es lebe Hansel!
Guest themetfairy Guests Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Well, Robles doesn't live up to the glory of the name Hansel.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Yeah, let's cut him because he looked bad in a ST outing.
Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Guests Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 No, let's cut him because his walk rate keeps climbing as he ostensibly matures/improves. I mean, he's 24, and I'm not sure he's improving much.
Centerfield Old-Timey Member Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Hansel. He's so hot right now.
Guest d'Kong76 Guests Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 They need to trade for his sister Gretel... what a battery.Can't see much for him at the bigs level in 2015.Why did Bugs Bunny think Hansel was such an odd name?
