Timmy U Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 As much as Frazier and Sheets have disappointed, I predict Perez goes back down and Colas is really replacing Haseley. I hope I am wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 I'm thinking they saw Frazier out in RF yesterday and finally realized he's not really a defensive replacement. He has to be gone. You could almost see it on his face the last couple of weeks where he looked like he knew he was running out of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really no development left for him at AAA. He's proven he's a good AAA hitter and he's 24 with years of pro experience in Cuba. He's gotta sink or swim against MLB pitching now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 2 hours ago, Tony said: So not only did Colas not work out for the Sox in the first half of the season, the only reason he broke camp with the club was because the Sox made zero effort to upgrade RF in the offseason and put all their eggs in the preverbal "Oscar Colas basket" when he clearly wasn't ready. They're really fantastic at compounding their own self-inflicted wounds. "Clearly wasn't ready" is pretty easy to say in hindsight. It's extremely difficult to assess readiness just as it is to assess which draft picks are going to become MLB players. Many players are brought up and fail multiple times all over MLB and then become productive MLB players, some never do. Some are coached into success and some are coached into failure. But he was 25 and torched 2 levels and starting to torch the 3rd when the season ended. Maybe all the time off waiting to be drafted hurt him more than anything. He also could have failed from lack of experience despite how old he was from the missed time. Let's just hope he does better this time around. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him, and actually thought he was a decent option for the Sox in RF to open the season. I was responding to the comment I quoted. However, the point remains the RF has been a gigantic hole for the Sox basically since Jermaine Dye left the Sox. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Deep Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Colas has to play everyday in RF Remillard should play 2b and RF as needed. Bring up Sosa and have him play 2nd and some 3rd s%*# can Frazier, andrus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 I hope Colas has figured something out. He honestly spent most of his time in AAA treading water, but that's a hell of a lot of homers this past week. Hopefully something just clicked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCCWS Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Colas deserves to be back in Chicago. But now the timing is kind of odd. If Colas returns and hopefully is permanent in RF, where does that put Eloy? I would have hoped he was playing some in RF to try and increase his trade value at the deadline. If he returns to only DH his value drops even lower. It seems like Eloy will not be traded as just a DH but maybe some team sees him playing in the outfield or the Sox just figure he is a permanent DH.

He’ll be used the same way he has been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
