Work on his stance and swing this off-season, I’d love to see him be a right handed Aaron Judge with an open stance and a short quick swing.

Who's the SS under the trade Colson proposal?

He knows he needs to get straight, so hopefully he makes strides in the offseason. He could start by not swinging for the fences. There's a bigger cost in prematurely dumping young players.

Roch.

So you want to bring him up with literally 9 games of MiLB experience? Can we at least act like we learned from rushing dudes through the minors before?

I'm talking about at some point next season. The point is don't keep Colson around to see if he improves. If he starts out bad again next year Roch should be up by summer and Colson benched

That's a very quick timeline...should he be able to handle it?

Sure, defensively.

Would rather play Meidroth Antonacci in middle infield for 3-4 months and take more time assessing his readiness with a wooden bat.

Let's see him dominate Birmingham, at the very least.

That doesn't always work.

Hrniak attempted to turn Sosa into a line drive XB hitter to take advantage of his speed.

Even Meidroth's K totals are way up this year compared to 2024, but he has shown surprising pop as a result.

Dude doesn't even have two years of experience. It makes zero sense to dump him when he is essentially a minimum wage player for 2 more seasons.

Tough call on Colson no doubt. I think he will stay. He's very early in his career, he is cheap, and he is a part of the core. When Cholowski or Bonemer are ready should be when Bennintedi's contract is up. I see Colson platooning at DH and playing backup at 3rd, first and short.

For now though, I hope he is World Series 2026 MVP!
