ron883 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 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. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kids Can Play Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

South Side Hit Men Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) They shouldn't start Colas' clock until Tony is gone. Tony won't play him more than once a week, prefers his rotation of Sheets, Vaughn and Engel in RF.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I could see a bump to Charlotte by Sept 1 but he just got to AA. No way they call him up now. If he destroys in spring training maybe, maybe he makes OD, but I don’t think we’ll see him any earlier than mid-April 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
