Jake Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 I think it's hard to say from here what should be done with Colson. This isn't a case of a guy going to a new level and playing horrifically. He had a disappointing year last year, but it was nothing like this. So you know it's not a case of him hitting a wall that he doesn't have the talent to break through (in the sense of: we know he has the talent to strike out less than half of his plate appearances in AAA). If you buy that, then the question is why the huge regression? Health? Yips? Some other kind of mental issue? Change in swing/mechanics/etc.? Hard to see from my perch here on the internet which of those things is going on. Things like a demotion could make some of those problems worse while potentially fixing some others. As for Teel, I'm not pushing the panic button. But this is why you put him in AAA rather than break with the team. You're going to get scouted and people are going to try to exploit your weaknesses. See if he can work through it. His brief time in AAA last year was just so-so anyway. Quero is a similar case and similar reasoning for keeping him in AAA to start the season, but you can see how his game was always bound to be a bit less boom or bust. But he may well see his numbers decline soon too (if he keeps up the 1.000 OPS for very long, I guess we'll find out just how patient the Sox plan to be). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 It just seems Colson has had a real issue with the improved command in AAA. He’s still selective, but he’s falling behind in counts and/or taking strike 3. He has too much swing and miss in his game to keep falling behind. Also, I’m sure other teams know he struggles with velocity up in the zone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Would like to see him sooner rather than later. Lee/Thaiss issue can be worked out but Quero is a very mature hitter for such a young age. Teel is fine. He'll make the adjustments back.

Autumn Dreamin Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) Oppor looks good. Strikes out the side in the 1st. Edited April 9 by Autumn Dreamin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Yeah, Oppor's gonna be Top 30 soon. 10Ks, no hits, 3BB, when he hit his pitch count at 4.2IP. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I wish I could have seen Oppor. Looks like my optimism in Zavala was misplaced. It was a bad sign when we saw he was hitting 8th in the game against Kanny. McLain also struggling way more than expected. But there are some guys who are really opening eyes, like Oppor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
