Don't send Colson there imo.

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.

Don't send Colson there imo.a lot of players do this on their own as wellwe like to create strawmenI think the Sox are now up to date with tech where a player can work on hitting.

9 hours ago9 hr Just now, PaleAleSox said:Yeah. You play him and whatever happens, happens. Then you get to work in the offseason on adjusting his approach some more.we ignore the MUCH bigger picture and that is Schultz and Smith. This team has a pitching staff put together by duct tape.
9 hours ago9 hr 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.
6 hours ago6 hr I’m not selling all of my stock in Colson but there’s certainly a lot of work that needs to2 hours ago, Lightly Folded said:Personally I think it’s nuts to play Colson if the goal is to win playoff games.

Dude really doesn't say the corret things at timesHe’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.

1 hour ago1 hr It’s brutal to watch a guy strike out as much as he did - particularly in the last two months. However, Kyle Schwarber is a guy a lot of teams would love having, and he has two of the top ten all time strikeouts in a season (including only eight fewer than Colson this season).So, there is hope.Also, Mune would have been neck and neck with Colson if he didn’t miss several weeks. Colson needs to be a little less pull and homer happy. If he takes Mune’s approach and uses they whole field and selectively thinks pull only, I think he will vastly improve
1 hour ago1 hr Not giving up on him but he’s got some work to do this offseason. Hit him no higher than 8th for the playoffs

It’s that if he’s not homering, that seems to be all he is doing. Mark Reynolds strikeout record season he still had like an .860 OPS
25 minutes ago25 min 5 hours ago, southsider2k5 said:It's just an odd thing to say if he is already working hardI can tell you what I heard from Chris Getz's interview. Colson's strike outs and slump was brought up by Bruce Levine. Getz first acknowledged Colson's contribution to the team's success with his glove, his home run production, and being a good in the clubhouse with everyone. Getz said Colson has also shown a willingness to work with the team by going down to AZ last year and his openness to work with the team again. All complimentary no negatives at all in the Getz interview I heard.
