Popeye 1-2 with a walk and stolen base #40 so far.

I'd wager that's more stolen bases than the White Sox have total.

Though I imagine stolen base totals are pretty elevated in the minors and I haven't looked at his success rate.

Just to give context to Colas' tear right now, his home run rate in Birmingham is 8.9 AB/HR.

Here's the top 20 all time:

Rank Player (age that year) AB per HR Year PA Bats
1. Barry Bonds (36) 6.52 2001 664 L
2. Mark McGwire (34) 7.27 1998 681 R
3. Josh Gibson+ (25) 7.80 1937 183 R
4. Mark McGwire (35) 8.02 1999 661 R
5. Mark McGwire (32) 8.13 1996 548 R
6. Barry Bonds (39) 8.29 2004 617 L
7. Babe Ruth+ (25) 8.48 1920 617 L
8. Barry Bonds (38) 8.67 2003 550 L
9. Barry Bonds (37) 8.76 2002 612 L
10. Babe Ruth+ (32) 9.00 1927 691 L
11. Sammy Sosa (32) 9.02 2001 711 R
12. Aaron Judge (30) 9.13 2022 496 R
13. Babe Ruth+ (26) 9.15 1921 693 L
14. Jim Thome+ (31) 9.23 2002 613 L
15. Josh Gibson+ (27) 9.27 1939 123 R
16. Mark McGwire (33) 9.31 1997 657 R
17. Mickey Mantle+ (29) 9.52 1961 646 B
18. Hank Greenberg+ (27) 9.59 1938 681 R
19. Roger Maris (26) 9.67 1961 698 L
20. Luke Voit (29) 9.68 2020 234

He's doing all that while sporting a .353/.439./920 line with a 9.2% walk rate and 23.5% strikeout rate. It's not like he's only hitting home runs. He's just fucking raking.

Maybe waiting until Sept?  Just desperate to not start the clock?  I don’t get it either. 

Especially when the Sox have such an obvious need for some LH thunder and a competent right fielder. They can't keep playing Eloy and Vaughn, or Sheets, in the same outfield.
