Practically begging Colas to take an OD roster spot, and he's like "Eh, I'll see if I'm up for it or not."

I think he hates this org and is depressed. I don't blame him.

Baldwin looking good on the bases

Why is Colas just so terrible 

See if the Mets will take his sorry no bat / no glove ass for Canario and just start Canario in LF with Benintendi out.  This season is already circling the drain before it even started so you may as well see if another young guy can pan out with the at bats.

Are you kidding? Boo-hoo. Then he should play himself into a position where other teams want him. 

I'd be willing to bet Chris Getz isn't turning down monster returns for Colas.

I would have maybe advised him to not compare himself to a slave in year 1.

He doesn’t look as thin as he did last year

Who cares? Why would I root against any Sox player? Getz is a clown, Colas is just a dime a dozen AAAA type but our org did him zero favors and I guarantee word around the league is that this franchise is poverty, doesn't develop any young talent and is a miserable place to be.

Rare win, in the books.

Colas seems like a true clown, and if he has an attitude anything like the childish BS you laid out, he should really just quit the game. That's some stinkin' thinkin'. 

The last I checked, Davis Martin, Jon Cannon and Sean Burke were "young talent".

Winnah!!! 

Well, McKenzie still sucks…Sosa big day…and scrounged out four runs with just five hits on the day.

Winning ugly.

Summary for Greg.

A winning percentage even worse than last ST and regular season.  🤣

Yep, Colas isn’t even really that young anymore.

But how did Bergolla look?

And Bazzana?

Berolla laid down a nice bunt for a single and looked like a central casting shortstop.

I think I would prefer him to Amaya not that it would ever happen.

He’s very small

He’s was an interesting prospect to trade for and he was a good return for our trash but the absolute ZERO extra base hit and HR power he has pretty much makes him a utility infielder at best.  Not even worth following honestly.

It’s amazing that Getz acknowledged that having some OF depth in the upper minors would prove valuable given our general lack of talent outside of Robert and yet missed horribly on the evaluations of Fletcher & DeLoach.

Honestly, I’d prefer rotating some of the infielders through LF while Andrew is out vs. giving Fletcher the job.  I’d also throw a claim at Canairo when the Mets ultimately try to sneak him through waivers.

Fletcher, yes:  he was pretty much expected to come in and give us a 1-2 WAR OF.
But wasn't Deloach one of those guys like Cordell, who was Rule 5 eligible and one of those guys who in  all likelihood as AAA?  The more important parts of that deal were the pick and the pitcher.

And I agree - I hope some of the IFs get work in LF.
