Why not Colas?

In 8 games in AA, Colas has a whopping 5 HRs and an OPS north of 1.400. The guy is 23 and has experience in the Japan professional league. The Sox called Vaughn right up from A+. Why not Colas? He's lefty and plays a better corner OF than any of the bums currently on this squad.

Sox didn't want to bring Vaughn up immediately, they were forced into it due to Jimenez injury and lost a year of service time because of it.

There's no reason to burn a year of Colas service time on a garbage team that isn't going anywhere. We can wait until next season so we can preserve the 6.5 years.

He should be up in September! He is a stud. Hence why trading him in all these silly rumors and trade scenarios is plain dumb.

Who cares if its only double AA. He is killing it. If you look at all great players on the ML level throughout the league they all had to go through the minors. However talent is talent and eventually he looks like he could be a great player.

There were rumors Vaughn was going to make the team prior to the Eloy injury. The need for him in the outfield just opened up because of it.

The Sox don't lose a year of service time for a call up right now. 

The clock would start next season.

But if they waited a couple weeks into next season the full year clock wouldn't start until 2024. Thats what we want....to have him rake for awhile in AA and then maybe promote him in September to AAA but then since he had so little time there in the end of the season he will need a little more time next year to work on some things and then you bring him up. 

A LH savage with mega power and a howitzer of an arm in RF is extremely valuable for this team, that extra year is critical.

If they don't bring him up, I can see them trading him

While I absolutely agree with this line of thinking and have all along the line with our guys starting with Kopech, and then Eloy, then Robert, and Vaughn. But one thing has always been consistent..they challenge the player, or extend them and call them up. If Colas keeps hitting like this, they aren’t waiting until May 2023 to do something. This is the White Sox.

I’d avoid calling up any young hitters while Menechino is still around.  He already destroyed Sosa in about a week…I wouldn’t let him touch someone as important as Colas.

But do you think they will get rid of Menechino at the end of this season?

Oh, so that's what happened to Nick Williams!

I'm not even sure we could trust him with Palka or Delmonico if they were to inexplicably return...
