What kind of numbers are we expecting from this kid next year? He has less than 250 at bats above A ball.

I only need 15.1 WAR - I just want him to set the record and dethrone 1923 Babe Ruth

If I am to believe Soxtalk's self proclaimed geniuses, he is our next superstar.

Merkin is so bad at his job.

Ha, and everyone argued with me when I said 4 months ago Colas was going to be the starting RF in 2023 when many were advocating for a Conforto signing.

? There's room for both.

Edit: Conforto or not, they're still adding a left-handed hitting every day OF.

The Sox need 2 OFs.  I doubt anyone argued that Colas would be 1 of them coming June 2023.

Right. Everyone is penciling him into their hypothetical outfields along with another OF.

Who penciled him as the opening day RF 4 months ago? I said he’d be up in early May and was told no way he’d be ready by then.

I would guess 80% of us?  4 months ago was August when he was lighting up the minors.

Actually there isn’t. Sox are already tapped out on budget if they sign Conforto but they still have other positions to fill. Think Tyler Naquin or similar, that tier as the outfielder free agent signing.

So you're saying they are adding a left-handed bat. Same as us. Replace the name "Conforto" with "any left-handed bat." It's gonna happen. They can't be stupid enough to run Eloy as primary LF and Sheets as the primary DH.

what other positions do they have to fill? 2B can be in-grown.  No bullpen please god. No utilities please god.  SP minor depth would be nice.  Literally throw all our money at a LH OF.

Huh? The position they have to fill voa trade or FA is an OF. They can go internal at 2B. Nothing you’re saying is making any sense. Everyone was penciling Colas into their 2023 OFs, what people were likely telling you is that he’s unlikely to break camp with the Sox. He still shouldn’t, but feels more likely now than ever. Sox should really sign someone like Conforto + someone like Frazier who can play OF for a few weeks until Colas arrives.
