Bob Sacamano Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) Eloy to IL, Sheets to DH, DeLoach in RF, Fletcher remaining on the bench? Oscar Colas: same age, also hits left-handed, has higher OPS. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/05/white-sox-promote-zach-deloach-mlb-debut-eloy-jimenez-injured-list.html Edited May 22 by Bob Sacamano 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I really wish we had an even halfways decent crew that reported on the Sox, because someone needs to find out what Oscar Colas did to be flushed down Grifol's proverbial toilet. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its bizarre. Is it his attitude? Is it baseball related? Why don't they just trade him? He has to have some trade value, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it was probably comparing himself to being a slave and other weird social media posts. If he's doing that stuff publicly, I kind of doubt he's much better privately with them. He went full Yermin. You never go full Yermin. But you also can't do that stuff and then proceed to hit .216. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but we have absolute trash people on this roster now, as well as in the recent past. What is this horrific line that can't be crossed with the White Sox? If it is really just a huge ego, what a bizarre reason to not play someone when you compare who else has received paychecks from this franchise, especially when we are blowing through players like flotsam in an effort to win an extra game or two... but won't do it for Colas. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he's a complete dope and they hate him and don't want him near the team, just keeping him on the roster and refusing to use him is a strange choice. You'd think the options would be 1. play him 2. trade him 3. drop him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may be a reflection of his attitude but the social media post was from 2022. Colas has had a lot of opportunities since then to stay up. I think it has more to do with his inability to layoff shitty pitches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I was so excited when they signed Colas. I really wonder if it's their system that ruined him or he just doesn't have it in him to be more than AAAA fodder. but this constant stream of has beens from other Orgs is reason enough to know that Getz is awful at his job and this team is going nowhere for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Assuming he gets in a game, DeLoach will be the 26th player to make his Sox debut this season. The team record is 27. It’s May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalChiSox Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) Colas isn't doing a ton at the plate right now to earn a promotion even aside from the stupid beef the staff has with him. Edited May 22 by SoCalChiSox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrockway Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I don't know if Colas isn't getting a shot because he's a headcase (which he seems to be), it probably has more to do with the fact that he regressed and will almost certainly make a mess of things if he gets called up. DeLoach hasn't exactly been good either, but might as well see what they got. I think DeLoach was the predictable ILoy call up, it might've been Oscar if he was actually hitting the ball. They should send down Vaughn next, then maybe we see Oscar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4OCS Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Deloach has had over 1500 plate appearances between AA and AAA. Colas has only had about 650. Maybe that has something to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should send down Vaughn next, then maybe we see Oscar. Colas is also OPSing .630 away from Truist Field. I also wonder if the incident where he was benched for getting picked off of first base is more common than we've heard about. DeLoach's OPS away is .667.
