SoCalChiSox Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Very good. Once he comes in, he can spend 2022 in the minors, and start in LF in 2023. By that time, Vaughn will be at 1B and Eloy can be the DH. Plus a good LH bat with reported 55 hit and 60 power is great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 This timing would be perfect. Cespedes next season to take over for Eaton and Colas in 2 years to get bubble boy out of LF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t see him leaving the organization when this deal is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its unlikely he can outlast aging curves beyond his current deal. And even if he is kept by JR for emotional reasons, that doesn't mean he will be getting consistent ABs....esp with Eloy and Vaughn in their primes. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlando Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Does this mean he can work out at team facilities and stuff or is that illegal? If it’s illegal, it sucks that he is losing precious time developing because of MLBs dumb I’d to move the signing period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) With the plethora of LH pitching options (knock on wood)... unless he's a starter with 95 mph heater and big Sale-esque slurve...Oscar should be spending all his time getting into even better physical shape (most of the way there already) and mastering the art of RF play and hitting extreme velocity pitching he didn't see in Japan or Cuba.

You must be late to the party, but he’s gotten himself into amazing shape. And I don’t think there’s any chance in hell we use Colas as a pitcher, but that plus arm will help even if in LF.

Chicago White Sox Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 https://francysromero.medium.com/oscar-colas-cuban-prospect-to-sign-with-chicago-white-sox-for-2-7-m-d23950f43d62 Sounds like there was a mini bidding war for him with the Angels offering ~$2.0M and the Mets offering ~$2.5M.

Yeah, I saw that video, body fat % is way down, decreased time to 1B, etc. It's quite encouraging. Being around professional training and nutrition staff will really benefit him as well. And certainly not every Cuban can be transformed into the Winter Soldier like Luis Robert. Edited March 25, 2021 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 "Rick, Let me get this straight, because I'm hard of hearing as you know. You mean to tell me we can get Texas to eat the remaining contract for guys like Castillo and Jones, and in return we also end up spending far less on International players? Way the hell are we not doing this every season?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
