(which he has) I thought Grifol said he would face lefties but sit sometimes early in the season with certain matchups. I really wish people would jump to conclusions based on one week. I think Colas will face left handed starters this year, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was all for Romy starting vs Framber Valdez.. But Alex Wood does not scream "tough lefty" to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREEDY Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 51 minutes ago, Greg Hibbard said: if Oscar Colas is playing 5 out of 7 games, and pinch hitting in a sixth, is he "platooning"? Well, the is only the 2nd game in 3 days, and we are playing a 2B in RF... so it seems like we could have used Duvall. Who is also off to a hot start. The idea that Benintendi and Robert are going to play 155+, Colas is going to be the real deal AND our DH options will be effective and healthy (already a fail) seems like a longshot. Like a 100000 to 1. A 4th OF option ahead of Marisnick and Hamilton seemed and still seems warranted, especially considering Colas could have easily been held out until warm weather. I'm not the leader of the "just spend more money" segment of white sox internet, but this felt like one time where just a little more could have really helped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way he's been used so far is quite literally the definition of a platoon. But yes, it's only been 7 games so no reason to freak out about his usage yet but hopefully he starts playing against lefties soon. It was only a 100 PA or so sample size but the guy killed left handed pitching in the minors last year, no reason whatsoever to platoon the guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxrwhite Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Mancada is not in the lineup. Is he hurt after the fouling a ball off his toe? If he and Jimenez both go on the dl then I give up. These guys should carry the nikname crystal. Isn't the best ability availability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
