People cant stand Colson's K rate right now and the idea here is that Bonemer is ready to contribute at the major league level. Oh and there's still a question of where he will play defensively.He has a 25% K rate at AA

Nobody gave Gonzales a chance when he was called up but he took advantage of the call up.I brought up McGonigle because of both being drafted out of HS and the total of ab's in the minors. Bonemer does k but he also has 66 walks, 251/383/556 OPS .939

Rocking a cool 145 wRC+ in AA.Is Ron Kittle the last Sox prospect to hit 40 HRs in one minor league season?Robert hit 32 in 2019. I can't recall anybody else coming close. Ron Kittle hit 50 in AAA in 1982 and 40 HR in AA in 1981.3 more HRs for Bonemer, would surpass Robert for maybe the most since Kittle 44 years ago?

He went back to Gary, healed up, and was working in the mills. I believe he was spotted by a Sox exec playing local baseball and was signed.
