July 28, 20223 yr In 8 games in AA, Colas has a whopping 5 HRs and an OPS north of 1.400. The guy is 23 and has experience in the Japan professional league. The Sox called Vaughn right up from A+. Why not Colas? He's lefty and plays a better corner OF than any of the bums currently on this squad.

Sox didn't want to bring Vaughn up immediately, they were forced into it due to Jimenez injury and lost a year of service time because of it. There's no reason to burn a year of Colas service time on a garbage team that isn't going anywhere. We can wait until next season so we can preserve the 6.5 years.
July 28, 20223 yr He should be up in September! He is a stud. Hence why trading him in all these silly rumors and trade scenarios is plain dumb. Who cares if its only double AA. He is killing it. If you look at all great players on the ML level throughout the league they all had to go through the minors. However talent is talent and eventually he looks like he could be a great player.

There were rumors Vaughn was going to make the team prior to the Eloy injury. The need for him in the outfield just opened up because of it.

July 28, 20223 yr They shouldn't start Colas' clock until Tony is gone. Tony won't play him more than once a week, prefers his rotation of Sheets, Vaughn and Engel in RF. Edited July 28, 20223 yr by South Side Hit Men

The Sox don't lose a year of service time for a call up right now. The clock would start next season.

But if they waited a couple weeks into next season the full year clock wouldn't start until 2024. Thats what we want....to have him rake for awhile in AA and then maybe promote him in September to AAA but then since he had so little time there in the end of the season he will need a little more time next year to work on some things and then you bring him up. A LH savage with mega power and a howitzer of an arm in RF is extremely valuable for this team, that extra year is critical.

July 29, 20223 yr I could see a bump to Charlotte by Sept 1 but he just got to AA. No way they call him up now. If he destroys in spring training maybe, maybe he makes OD, but I don’t think we’ll see him any earlier than mid-April 2023.
July 29, 20223 yr Ignoring everything else, is he one of the 3 best outfielders in the organization? I don’t know! Which is crazy! Edited July 29, 20223 yr by Jerksticks

A LH savage with mega power and a howitzer of an arm in RF is extremely valuable for this team, that extra year is critical. While I absolutely agree with this line of thinking and have all along the line with our guys starting with Kopech, and then Eloy, then Robert, and Vaughn. But one thing has always been consistent..they challenge the player, or extend them and call them up. If Colas keeps hitting like this, they aren’t waiting until May 2023 to do something. This is the White Sox.
July 29, 20223 yr I’d avoid calling up any young hitters while Menechino is still around. He already destroyed Sosa in about a week…I wouldn’t let him touch someone as important as Colas.

I'm not even sure we could trust him with Palka or Delmonico if they were to inexplicably return...
