Perhaps Montgomery will be called up if Moncada will be out for an extended period. Just do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) So all of Getz’s veteran position player signings this offseason were pretty pointless. Remember the talk about how the young guys would get time to gel and prove themselves in the minors before getting rushed up this season due to the presence of Getz’s vets? Guess not. Ten games later and Sosa and Colas will already be here. Edited April 10 by WhiteSox2023 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess not. 10 games later and Sosa and Colas will already be here. So far everything in the Getz era has been an abject failure. We'll see if the one guy in the Cease deal becomes a star. But right now it is truly sickening that the team's three best hitters (on paper) are already hurt and it's not mid April. Not sure how this bunch won today. I expect a loss every day. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 They should just roll with this until Eloy is back.

Just do it. Getz at the very least needs to see Montgomery excel for 3-4 months at the AAA level. That means a 900ish OPS, not in the 700's. Also, if he's going to stick at SS. It wouldn't be fair to move him off SS to 3B or have him take the place of Moncada on such short notice...without an adjustment period. The ONLY way they should consider it is if they 100% believe he can't stick at SS at the major league level and he's going to have to move over to third eventually (as early as next year, replacing Moncada)...which would then push Ramos perhaps to 2B, or 1B/DH (that's not ideal, based on his offensive profile). And service time clock really is going to matter for him, the 7 vs. 6 years of control. Wouldn't be shocked to see Ramos up before Montgomery, simply due to the fact that his prospect status isn't nearly at the same "future star" level as what is currently being projected for Colson. He's more around where Colas was a year ago, although he hasn't been included on most Top 100 prospects lists in the 80's or 90's compared to Oscar.

The Mighty Mite Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 As I said last week, stick Colas out in RF for the rest of the season regardless of what he does as this team isn’t going anywhere and see what we have, I’d do the same with Sosa at second base but please don’t rush Montgomery. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do it. Is the "super two" arb eligibility still a thing? If so, there's no way they call him up before that cutoff date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosa will probably be playing third everyday, I'd assume. Colas in right, Sosa at third, Fletcher in center. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you told me in Spring Training 3 Sox players would be injured in the first 10 games, I would have guessed Eloy, Robert, and Moncada. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to be conveniently omitting that the three guys who were supposed to buoy this offense, and make carrying the light-offense guys work - are all down in the first 10 days. And besides, Monty, Ramos and Quero are the guys they want to give time to develop. Not Lee, Sosa and Colas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately, they will be but unfortunately at the cost of Robert and Moncada (who started off playing well).

Yes, converting Crochet to starting and Kopech to closing are abject failures. Iriarte and Thorpe are very good pitching prospects. And Steven Wilson might the 2nd best arm in our bullpen, right now. Yeah, all failures. Abject failures. LOL. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ten games later and Sosa and Colas will already be here. I think it’s a reach to apply this to guys like Sosa and Colas, who have already experienced a cup of coffee in MLB. Now if they prematurely promote guys like Montgomery or Quero, then I agree with you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys they want to gel and develop will continue to do so, and the guys who are probably ready will play in the bigs. WS2023 isn't mentioning an unprecedented loss of the 3 main offensive contributors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
