September 11, 20232 yr Charlotte has 12 games left while White Sox have 18. Not sure what the rationale is giving one of our better prospects less games as the season winds down. I would think Colas should be getting as many MLB at bats as possible before the season ends.
September 11, 20232 yr They certainly like to batter the young guys while those expected to succeed are allowed to flounder with no recourse. I am nto certain I recall a moment at all from Eloy. Feels like he has been out injured all season. What a s%*# show.
September 11, 20232 yr I think if Colas' only issue, was his slow success at the plate, he wouldn't be sent down. The problem is, he's had these lapses of judgement in the field and just overall, that have to be corrected.....ESPECIALLY if your GM talks about exactly that, being an issue. BUT, as SCCWS said, the AAA season is basically over, so the timing is stupid. Reeks of "We're going to back up what Getz says, even if it makes no sense!"
September 11, 20232 yr I think they are sending a clear message that we will hold you accountable. We said that we want you to work on certain things and not continue to do x, y, and z and that is clearly not happening so they are sending a message. I can actually applaud it - its just hard because for year(s) they have not done this and they are clearly NOT consistent in how they have handled it. Probably goes into a lot of why they have failed across the board at everything - they don't set the right standard and don't hold people accountable to that standard. It seems to be ripe at all levels, whether its players off-season workout routines, or putting in the right work on the little things and building the right habits that compound into winning ways.
September 11, 20232 yr Getz playing hardball. I still wonder about his weird social media posts last year. Never really got any explanation on that garbage, but if he legitimately was accusing the Sox of treating him like a slave I'm good just burying him in AAA for two more years before cutting him. I was surprised he wasn't traded. Maybe that mess really was a misunderstanding?
September 11, 20232 yr Wouldn’t be shocked at all if this is the last time we see him in the big leagues with the Sox
September 11, 20232 yr More Trayce Thompson and Gavin Sheets in the outfield, just what everyone wants to see...

They just want a little b-slap for next year. ps If you interview a manager or GM candidate you ask: So you must have a manual of all the great ideas and programs you were going to enact when your dream job came along. Let's see it.

September 11, 20232 yr Colas has been a pretty big disappointment and my guess is he won’t be a member of the White Sox next year.
September 11, 20232 yr 3 minutes ago, fathom said: Also, he really sucks. One of the worst players in baseball this year. This is a fitting sentence for the majority of this roster, so sad.

September 11, 20232 yr 2 minutes ago, fathom said: True, but he’s the worst of the worst I get it, but he isn't even the worst on this roster, WAR wise. And he's making a hell of a lot less than the guy who is, our Jackie Robinson of modern baseball.
