Prob cuz he was not drafted high. Stigma attached. Face it, if Colson had his offensive numbers, he would be off the chart. It will be interesting to see how Sox manage their three mid infield prospects next year.
I lived in that part of the world in 1972 and saw many of those games on TV. What I'll never forget is how well the Phils played whenever Carlton started. But he was one great pitcher.
