'A spectacular talent,' Oscar Colas fired up to play right field for WhiteSox.
Oscar Colas arrived at the White Sox's training camp as the prohibitive favorite to win the starting job in right field, even with unhappy designated hitter Eloy Jimenez pushing to play the position.
"He's an extremely focused kid who goes about his business the right way," Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters in Glendale, Ariz."There's no BS about him. He comes here to work. He's competing for a job and he knows it. This is what he loves to do. He takes pride in it. Signed by the White Sox out of Cuba for $2.7 million in January of 2022, the left-handed Colas played at three levels last season and hit a combined .314/.371/.524 with 23 home runs and 79 RBI in 117 games for high Class A Winston-Salem, AA Birmingham and AAA Charlotte.
"I've thought about it, that's part of my dream," Colas said of making the White Sox's roster out of spring training."Sometimes you think that it's not real. But I'm here working for that and that's going to be a big accomplishment for me and my family and all the people who have been supporting me."
