I’ve given up on the team this year, as long as TLR is manager anyways. I say preserve the service time and let him see AAA before a call up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be peak TLR for the Sox to promote Colas and then still have Eloy, Vaughn, Sheets etc playing in the outfield over him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s obvious the talent/bat speed/everything else is there. Usually with prospects you worry about their mental maturity, but I don’t think Colas is a normal prospect in that regard either. We are talking about a kid who left home at 18 to play pro ball across the world. Not sure the moment will be too big for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I think with the difference in the ball this year, Colas would benefit from AAA time. It seems like his opponent taco yesterday is impossible with the mlb ball. I am obviously as high on Colas as anyone on this board, but I don’t see the season as salvageable, so I’m fine with letting him acclimate. He should get a shot in 2023, though. Hopefully with a different manager and hitting coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 He’s not a center fielder, but he’s certainly a serious cut above Eloy, Vaughn, and Sheets. True right fielder with at least a 60 arm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I think Eloy would have been average in a different org. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Good job so far by Charlie Romero at Birmingham. First Sosa, no Cespedes, really improved their plate discipline. And he certainly hasn't screwed up Colas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Colas has a really good arm , Eloy doesn't, plus Colas was playing CF for a while. I don't think Eloy ever did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was 5 years ago. Unless you know of any specifics between the 2022 MLB and minor league ball where you can show the MiLB balls carry less can you really say for certain that it wouldn't have carried as far with the MLB ball ? I know humidors are also involved in MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 My point was just players say there is an adjustment to the mlb ball, how it breaks etc. Colas may benefit from exposure to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
