Assumed he would come back to Charlotte, play a little better. Be called up and it just never really work. Glad I was wrong. What a beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (edited) As long as Colson hits 240ish...he'll be an extremely valuable player. That said, he's probably not a 40+ homer hitter for a full season...25-30 would be fine. Edited August 24 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Dreamin Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Getting a lot of handshake practice this series 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxBlanco Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Love that when Colson touched the plate, he gave Luis a normal high five. Then Robert yelled something as if to say “Hey, what about our handshake?” Colson then immediately turned around with a smile on his face and executed the handshake. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie Banks hit a lot of homers when he was a SS, 4 years with over 40 and Colson is a lot bigger and stronger so there’s a good chance but I’m going to go with 35. I saw Ernie hit a lot of homers but not the bombs that Monty is launching. Edited August 24 by The Mighty Mite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My take would've been 2 hits, 2 runs scored no matter how slow he is . Took 2nd on a wild pitch and scored from 2nd on a single and went 1st to 3rd on a single .

caulfield12 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Colson at 1.3 fWAR entering...should be 1.4 by end of the day. That's around 5ish for a season. Before analytics, the HR/RBI traditional counting numbers on the back of baseball card are pretty unreal as Stone extrapolated them out. Don't remember this kind of tear since Robert 2023 or Abreu's rookie season over a decade ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets the job done and there’s no doubt he’s not running at 100% with some gimpy leg issues but this guy has probably been the best signing by Getz of all the vets he has signed in his 2 years as GM.

caulfield12 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 It's crazy to think that Robert would still be part of the Sox foundation in 2026/27...but doesn't seem totally out of the really of possibility. Colson's swagger and Teel's enthusiasm and simple joy to be playing a kid's game are pretty infectious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OPS wise. Fedde from a purely statistical standpoint for 3-4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
