That’s what Getz said in an interview on Friday night but he mentioned about commitment from Colson, I found that interesting.

Wasn't there a youtube video around before this season started about Quero and where he went in the offseason to work on his swing? Don't send Colson there imo.

Does Colson sit in the playoffs or do you bat him 9th and hope he runs into one? He looks more lost than Mune did when he was in his funk.

It would be a bad and demoralizing idea to do that to a young player who also helped get you there. You have 8 other guys out there, plus he's not a liability on the field. Of course he looks more lost since he has little MLB experience. We've gotten into this habit thinking young players are a finished product.

a lot of players do this on their own as well

we like to create strawmen

I think the Sox are now up to date with tech where a player can work on hitting.

It was an entire ESPN article about him going to Driveline.

Yeah. You play him and whatever happens, happens. Then you get to work in the offseason on adjusting his approach some more.

If Colson runs into one in the playoffs it could a game winner or series winner.

we ignore the MUCH bigger picture and that is Schultz and Smith. This team has a pitching staff put together by duct tape.

Personally I think it’s nuts to play Colson if the goal is to win playoff games. The infield can survive with Meidroth at short and Ant at second plus on offense they both add punch. Colson is dead weight. Whatever they do with him or he does with himself during the off season is his next chapter. Right now he’s a liability that doesn’t belong.

I’m not selling all of my stock in Colson but there’s certainly a lot of work that needs to

It’s foolish to sit a guy who can hit 30+ bombs but yeah, he’s one of the guys I trust the least as of right now.

No not at all, that wasn't mentioned

It's just an odd thing to say if he is already working hard

What I got from it was that Colson might not be crazy about changing things, when he talked about commitment, what else could be inferred.

No way, he has faults but he’s not lazy.

I'd call that more open minded, but I digress.

If I has just set the record for strike outs I think I would accept any help that was offered. But that's me.

No doubt.

He’s probably a really nice guy, I want the guy to return to what he was last year and the first half of this year but this second half was really brutal watching him. I been a fan since 1952 and I’ve never seen anything like it and I don’t know how many teams in MLB would have continued trotting him out there, I’m sure quite a few teams would have benched him or even sent him back to the minors.
