The last time Bartolo Colon was effective was way back in 2005, so when he showed up to the Yankees and surrendered four runs in his first two innings this season most of us wondered how he could possibly help the Yankees in 2011. A funny thing happened though. After that first game against those first two innings against the Tigers he turned into a great pitcher, one that lead the Yankees early with a 2.78 ERA in 12 outings before he went down with a groin injury. He was outstanding and he...Read Full Story

Not that there was much of a chance that he would return after the trade for Michael Pineda and signing of Hiroki Kuroda, but the Bartolo Colon era is officially over as the burly righty signed a one-year deal with the Oakland Athletics, according to Jayson Stark of ESPN. The Yankees signed Colon off the scrap heap last season and they ended up getting a very strong performance out of him for the first half of the season. Midway through though he pulled his groin and never got the same...Read Full Story

Barton Colon gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "steady diet of fastballs" -- apparently he pops 'em back like popcorn at a doube feature. (Ronald Martinez/Getty Images) After the World Series has been played and the season is officially over, all teams change their focus toward how to win more games the next season. They look at players to trade for on other teams, who to promote from their minor league teams and, most importantly, who to sign in free agency. This is especially true...Read Full Story

Last winter, after the Cliff Lee/Carl Crawford fiascos, we barely lifted a shot glass to salute the signings of Freddy Garcia and Bartolo Colon. We saw no beauty, no elegance, in those cartoonish, paunchy frames. We had been turned down by the hot cheerleader. Who expected to be so delightfully ravaged in bed by the horny middle school librarian with visible ringworm?This year, we know exactly what Freddy Garcia's magic fingers can do while "on the mound!" Nevertheless, just pondering Bartolo...Read Full Story

Just look at that face. Those lips... those eyes... those jowls -- they could your mama's, according to the Miami Herald. (Maybe the mustache, too!)It’s an aging Boomer’s dream.

Nobody expected what the Yankees got out of Bartolo Colon in the first half of the season, nobody not even the Yankees. What they got out of him was two full months of brilliance. No he was not ace-like, but he was a phenomenal no. 2 starter. He did that mostly with a two-seam fastball that he had perfect command with that also broke nearly a foot. It was a pitch he relied heavily on as he threw it about 40 percent of the time. However, since coming back from the DL the pitch just hasn’t been...Read Full Story
