18 hours ago18 hr Colson has really struggled the second half of the year. He's going to break the strikeout record. His defense isn't as good as it was early on. What do you think his future is? I think it's a given that Roch replaced him at SS. Roch is already gold glove caliber. Just depends how long it takes for his offense to bring him up here. Colson os definitely better than Vargas at 3rd, but I don't think you move Vargas just yet. Colson's bat doesn't warrant it. What do you think his future is? I assume they keep him at SS until Roch forces the issue.
18 hours ago18 hr Murky at the moment. Gotta hope he improves and start him next season. He’s talented for sure

18 hours ago18 hr I think I’m serious when I write this but do you consider sitting him right now and playing Meidroth at short, Sam at second and Grichuk in left? Definitely better offensively. Probably a significant downgrade on D. Montgomery is virtually unplayable at the moment. Now go hit two dingers tomorrow and prove me wrong.

Some are probably not as kneejerk as those dealing with trade frenzy. Lets not forget who would be doing the trading. That's still a frightening thought unless you were in a coma the last trade deadline, A GM can get lucky, which happened to Getz but not a baseball mastermind. Some fans were brought back down to earth. I often wonder how many Sox fans enjoy watching the trades always playing better elsewhere? We seem to track them more than the players in the farm system.
17 hours ago17 hr Colson's just not MLB material. He peaked at AA. He has just one big looping swing and it's beautiful when pitchers occasionally screw up and he's lost when they don't. Pitchers just eating him up. When was the last time, if ever, he purposely lined a hit to LF. He can't.

You can still watch Cannon give up 5 runs.I probably wont get a season pass for the Fall League this year. I was hoping to see Roch.

Then, @ron883 would finish him off by taunting him verbally just like Ricky does. The strategy is all in the Gif below. Edited 17 hours ago17 hr by WhiteSox2023

9 hours ago9 hr I would ask what Colson's future position is with the Sox. If Roch is all that his press clippings say he is, I have to believe he is the SS down the road in 2028.If Mune is gone after 2027, Colson could move 1st, or Vargas could move to 1st and Colson to 3rd.No way do I want the Sox to give up on Colson. He just needs more attention to keep his bat in the groove.
