Seeing the main interview with Robert it seems he has some awe about him right now which to me is a good thing and while we shouldn’t expect ‘23 numbers out of him there’s part of me that thinks it’s more than possible that he now believes he has to play up to the level of Soto and Lindor to be excepted by them. I’m not saying he would be shunned but I think he wants to feel he can play up to their standards and that should lead to a 25+HR & 30+ SB. If he continues his good glove caliber CF and plays 140/50 games? Sky’s the limit for this guy. Read the Sherman Post article and his old White Sox coaches say he’s a guy who cares and the talent is for reals.

You might be right. But I take baseball commentary touching on emotions and psychology with a grain of salt. Especially because we don't really know these people and aren't aware of other things going on in their lives. The emotion/psychology conjecture is fueled by the fact that's there's an army of avid fans like us out there and not a whole lot of real news to comment on. Similarly, Mr. Steele may be on the money regarding Cohen's motivation for the no captain decision, but I'm indifferent to the issue.
