Name: Chris Roberson

Height:  6’2”

Weight:  175 lbs.

Position: Outfield [OF]

Bats/Throws:  R/R

DOB:   08/23/1979

Organization:  Philadelphia Phillies

Acquired:   Selected by Phillies in 2001 draft (9th round)

Current Team: Clearwater Threshers – Florida State League - A

 

If you wanted to make a good investment in information Chris Roberson is a Florida State League fast-tracker. He had a stunning performance this May.


Roberson has great defensive prowess and wonderful speed. The scouting reports' wishlist? More offensive production.

Be careful what you wish for: Chris went on a 23 game hitting streak, batting .360 over 29 games, while slamming six homers, two doubles and five triples, alongside 21 runs.

The streak earned him the Phillies' Player of the Month honors. He is slated to play in the Florida State League All-Star Game.

A ninth round pick, he is increasingly looking like a very smart acquisition for Philadelphia.

We expect Roberson to move up to the AA by the end of this season or early next. If he is able to dominate at the AA, it wouldn't be unthinkable to see him at a AAA club by some time later in 2005. While there is no vibe on his future in the city of brotherly love, we know that, call-up or player-to-be-named-later, the future is looking bright for Chris Roberson

He debuts on the MLN Fab50 as the 35th best player in affiliated baseball.
