I’m gonna ask you one more time to end this.  
 

And to be clear, while it is civil now, it won't stay that way.  Someone will come in and turn up the temp, and we already know, someone is waiting to cry about what is said.

I would not be surprised if Montgomery has way more power than DeJong.  He probably already does.  Although DeJong did have a 30 HR season early in his career.

DeJong had game power and elite defense. I think Colson has better power, and his defense can be up there. I'm not good enough to decide if it's "elite", but he sure looks pretty good. 

That's why I say that DeJong is Colson's floor. If you get around 15 bWAR during Colson's 6-7 years of control, that would be a disappointment, but still a win considering his draft position.

I'm happy for both as players.

Imagine being in Vargas' shoes going from the Dodgers to the Sox and being exposed to Grtifol.

Colson wondering if he is going to waste away in Charlotte. I applaud the Sox for risking the sink or swim.

Nice to see something work out for the Sox even if it fails long term.

Colson's floor is what we saw with is back injuries and his sub .100 stretches with a ton of strikeouts.

Hopefully the Sox have an amazing chiropractor that can keep it under control.  Do players live on cortisone shots these days?

Chiropractor? Bite your tongue. 😀

Cortisone no more than 2 times per year. In the back they usually use inject a prednisone or dexamethisone, less damaging to the area.

Curious.  In your opinion, is “Chiropracty” bogus?  I know my old man had it done a few times on his back and it felt good for a few weeks but he said it would hurt again after a couple weeks and he would have to go back over and over.  Is it just a continuous scam which just relieves pain temporarily?

I speak in half jest. PT and chiropractic care have different philosophies for treatment. They have a very good specific treatment effectiveness. However, in general patients need to continuously go for treatment to improve symptoms.

I can't believe it's offseason already ... what does a player like Colson do now? Take 2 months off? Then start running and hitting in cage? Or do they keep working starting now? He had that home run stroke going for the Sox. Must be scary to take a lot of time off then try to reclaim the magic during spring training.

Which makes it the perfect return business, whether unintended or not.  🤑

Most guys take a few weeks to a month off then get back slowly into getting ready for spring training. A lot of players have personal trainers that they work with over the off season.

I believe a group of these guys are getting together in Nashville to train and work out together.

He is a young single guy with lots of money. What do you think he might doing?

Not bad for half a season and the early season struggles/AZ hail mary

I don't think I can recall a stranger season than Colson had.  Some days he was a completely unplayable mess, and others he looked like a superstar.  I literally have zero idea what to expect from him.
