Even Frank Thomas and Robin Ventura had to prove themselves in Birmingham first, and Ventura was arguably the most decorated player in NCAA baseball history at the time. He’s probably better than the guys on the MLB roster.

Then you can at least make your arguments about skipping over CHLT entirely, but give me 3-4 months of 900+ OPS play at Birmingham and I'll probably agree with you.

May 16, 2025May 16 Potentially dumb thought - if Colson has a hot 3-4 weeks or so, do you just move him to Chicago while his confidence is high and swing is good, even if overall season numbers still are poor? Strike while the iron is hot, so to speak?
May 16, 2025May 16 Next episode of Sox top prospects on Comcast is out. Wolkow is so easy to root for.

If he can have a good 3 weeks or so and his swing is consistently good with lower Ks, bring him up and put him at SS to evaluate how long he can stick there.

I feel the same way with Braden just because the game in general feels different now. The usual seasoning process over many years…not sure that’s the way if an offensive player is torching levels. If he’s not getting beat, he’s not getting beat. Why does he need to see 2 years of AA sliders
