I would imagine that his little sign of frustration is mostly forgotten now. Colas hasn't let it slow him down that's for sure.
July 28, 20223 yr What is a realistic timeline for him? Finish the season at AA, start next year at AA, promoted quickly or start 2023 to AAA with a possible May/June callup to the MLB team? (Assuming he's not traded or any injury occurs).

Prolly at least another month and a half in AA and then maybe dip his feet in the water at AAA in Sept so they can say he still needs more work there next spring for service time.

If he keeps mashing AA pitching after the hot start, this timeline seems logical. I don’t think we see him in Chicago before mid April 2023 at the earliest.
August 11, 20223 yr Braves just brought up a great prospect from AA, Vaughn Grissom, and he hit a homer first time up. 21 years old, 3 years in minors, Braves thought he was ready. Grissom started season in High A, just like our guy. 11th round pick. I don't think Braves care about service time issue. Why not Colas?

About time Braves find a young, offensive player they can control for a long time

But I do think the Sox need to bring a few of these guys up - if nothing else - create a spark and send a message to the hasbeens lining up every day.

The Braves brought up their starting CF Michael Harris II earlier this year straight from AA. But, oh no, we need Pollock.

Because we aren't going anywhere so why burn a year of service time for nothing.

It's possible they stick him on the roster day 1 to open up next year. If they do that it will look kinda dumb that they didn't bring him up this year. Although I do agree they should just wait until they get the extra year of control next year.

August 15, 20223 yr I think we can legitimately have three top 100 prospects at year end which will all be earned, not based on draft status. That would be a huge win for our system since we had zero starting the year. Mena and Vera also have to have generated some positive buzz.
August 16, 20223 yr Colas on the hot sheet again. Quote 13. Oscar Colas, OF, White Sox Team: Double-A Birmingham (Southern) Age: 23 Why He’s Here: .391/.481/.783 (9-for-23), 5 R, 3 HR, 5 RBIs, 3 BB, 9 SO The Scoop: Since his promotion to Double-A Birmingham Colas has continued to mash Southern League pitching as he hits .353/.439/.694 with nine home runs across 22 games. This week Colas homered in three different games, highlighted by a 106.3 mph home run in the 7th inning of Sunday’s contest. Colas hit seven balls 95+ mph last week, including five balls in play above 100 mph. The Cuban outfielder’s combination of plus-plus power and average contact allow him to navigate upper-level pitching despite a very aggressive approach at the plate. Armed with two plus to plus-plus tools in his power and outfield throwing arm, Colas fits the mold of a corner outfield masher.

Montgomery, Colas, Ramos, Vera, Mena, Sosa, Schultz, and Palette is a pretty satisfying Top 8 considering where we started the year.

August 16, 20223 yr 9 minutes ago, oldsox said: Not many games left, Bob. Why not play them in all games? I’ve come around on this. I feel like they’re going to stick him on the roster opening day next year anyway so if they call him up now or opening day next year, we have him until the same year so might as well call him up now.

Funny how we have the opposite opinion on burning service time. If the Sox aren't going anywhere why does service time matter? Are you thinking that in that extra year they will be going somewhere ? There is a real chance if brought up this year he can be a major contributor for the stretch run of this season and also in the playoffs. You know the need already for some LH savagery on the Sox. I'd like to see an effort put into winning this year. All the rest of Cola's time the Sox might not even get to the playoffs so what good is Colas going to do on those teams ? The Sox might go somewhere if Cola's is on the Sox in 2022. Maybe they don't go anywhere with him too but I'd sure like to find out if he can be a difference maker now.
