Colson looked like he was a bust before he went to AZ last year. Then he came up and was awesome the last half of the season. This year he was doing great and then he went south. He has the bat speed and tools; it's almost like he needs a 6-month checkup to get straighten out.

Not knowing what happened last year, and seeing something similar happen again last year again brings the question, slump or back?

Sox don't think it's an injury, so I don't think it's fair to keep bringing that up even if there's a smidge of truth to it. Venable's comments today suggest it's 100% mental and he doesn't even need taken out of the lineup lol

I am also not willing to always take the Sox talking heads at their word.

A wise stance to take.

Mune has been just about as bad. The big three is down to Vargas.

Don't know how people can watch the Vargas progression and still rush to write guys off for having a down month or whatever

Would AL Comeback Player of the Year be wild for him?

He never had a great season to come back to....and last year was relatively decent.

Usually goes to guys coming off major injuries or under performance...like Raleigh hitting 50+ honors again next year.

Because most people who fail like that at baseball never bounceback. He is the exception, not the rule.
