South Side Sox Cactus League MVP: Oscar Colás
Oscar Colás’ success seemed inevitable, like an oncoming summer storm. For this rookie, though, it was a hard-won battle.
Colás’ domination in the minors last year gave White Sox fans a taste of what he was capable of. Excellent hitting, fielding, and base-running have defined his career in Cuba and Japan. The 24-year-old’s fast-tracked promotion to the Sox wasn’t much of a surprise.
On paper, Colás’ spring was good, but not stellar. The major leagues will be an adjustment period for him. What really got Sox fans excited was the prospect of a new face in right field, with a name other than “EATON” splayed across the back of his jersey.
