June 25, 2025Jun 25 Colson is not someone we can legitimately count on as a prospect. I hope I am wrong but there are major issues with his regression and because of that he is on a trajectory to be a bust. Leave Miedroth at SS and start looking to fill other positions without counting on Montgomery.
June 25, 2025Jun 25 He's batting below .200 still, so I wouldn't think there's been much improvement since AZ.

June 25, 2025Jun 25 Who was the last home grown hitting prospect that turned into a decent major leaguer? TA?
June 25, 2025Jun 25 The way to think about his trip to AZ is this: it returned him to his 2024 level. Unfortunately, that level wasn't good enough.

June 26, 2025Jun 26 Montgomery appears to be cooked unfortunately. Obviously there is zero reason to give him on him right away, but he’s firmly out of the long-term plans until he shows some semblance of the prospect he once was.

Doesn’t bode well.

June 26, 2025Jun 26 there is something very toxic about this organization they we will probably never really know. Of course there was Omar V. incident. This place is not attractive to free agents unless it's ones many teams pass on. So I would think this organization has a tarnished reputation and who knows how long that will last.

It's been going on literally for years, one incident after another, from in-fighting among the front office people to players leaving with bad feelings to broadcaster in-fighting to trainers suing the organization and so on. Some of this is expected, people are human after all, but the total body of dysfunction and incompetence is stunning and based on how little is ever done about it, JR seems to be fine with things. Everything starts at the very top and runs downhill from there. Edited June 26, 2025Jun 26 by Lip Man 1
June 26, 2025Jun 26 I remember reading an article some time back about all the different things they were trying with Colson. Different mindsets, approaches, swing decisions, focus, and the like and my initial thought was that they were overwhelming him with too much. I stand by that. And feel like it routinely happens with this organization all the way back to Beckham.

Sometimes it is better to just say, "see the ball, hit the ball" and the hell with everything else.

It will last as long as Reinsdorf owns the franchise.

June 27, 2025Jun 27 Colson raised his OPS from .622 to .673 last night. Pretty crazy that can happen in one game. 3-4 with two HR and a BB.
June 27, 2025Jun 27 Had he gone to college, he would have been drafted in 2023, so while he is in a prolonged lull, he’s not behind really. Charlotte stats can be so misleading, but the Ks are alarming. I just wonder about bat speed and how his swing and approach look. Hard to count on any prospect, but don’t give up too quickly either. In 2024, Phillies’ Abel had a 1.8 WHIP in 100 AAA innings…. Now one of the most promising young arms in the majors.

The Sox probably should have done with Colson what they're doing with Wolkow right now. Bite the bullet early, fix his swing and approach early, weather the half a season to a season of poor results on the gamble that the changes took. Now, they're working with him when he's burning options, and every strikeout gets thrown around Twitter.

Might've been a case where the guy would be resistant until he saw his current approach wouldn't work at the higher levels. Montgomery also blew through the lower minors and was a consensus top 15 prospect until running into difficulty at AAA last year.

No way someone is willing to change their swing/approach when they are dominating every level.

Pitching is a little different and Mick suffered from some arm issues and command challenges. The stuff was always there for him so seeing him rebound isnt really surprising. As a hitter, it takes a lot more than raw skills and Colson seems to be struggling with a lot.
