DirtySox Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Neat. I'm ready for strikeouts, bombs, and sub par catching. Good luck kid. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I'm worried about his strikeouts but let's be frank, Zavala looked so bad when he came up that this is really your only option even if you think it's going to be temporary. Assuming Beef's injury isn't too severe, Collins may have an outside chance at playing Alonso off the roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 So how are they clearing a spot? DL trip for Moncada? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt, even with how bad some of his ABs might be, that he'll be less valuable than Alobso and his -.8 war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QBBrian13 Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hoping one of these prospects come up and go bananas right away. From a power standpoint, Collins could be that guy! Sucks seeing guys like Soto, Acuna, Torres, Riley, etc. come up and rake right away while our guys need to “develop more at the big league level”. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCCWS Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Unfortunately he was struggling at Charlotte the last few weeks. He was hitting .200 in his last 10 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I’m excited about the bat. I think he’s a patient enough hitter to overcome the high K rate and produce roughly similar to what he has in AAA. That said, where is he going to play? We need to ditch Alonso altogether, and let him and McCann rotate between DH and C so that their bats are always in the lineup and Collins is learning how to be an MLB catcher. Moncada being injured should have nothing to do with this. Don’t know if I trust our awful FO to play this right. Really hope they’re not calling up a top prospect just because a guy is injured and our other MiLB catcher type was beyond putrid in his one chance.

Chicago White Sox Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Awesome. I’m actually fairly optimistic about the bat, but just beware that he is horrible against LHP and may ultimately end up a platoon guy. It will be interesting to see where they plan on playing him. Is Castillo hurt or will they finally cut bait on Alonso? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas_Ventura_Roberts Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Collins bat probably is ready, and his catching and pitch handling is probably at a place where he can best learn at the major league level. His .374 OBA and .855 OPS mitigates for a few strike outs. His walk to ab ratio is similar to a Mookie Betts and way better than any of the current White Sox players. Collins is 24 years of age and is one of those guys who should be allowed to show what he can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2 years after Eaton was traded, the team is already 500 and quickly trending up. The front office has been awesome. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we haven't even hit the all star break yet and you can see the average raising every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
