December 9, 200322 yr From rotoworld.com: Bartolo Colon-S-CWS According to the Associated Press, Bartolo Colon is close to signing with the Angels.
December 9, 200322 yr Bad news? I don't agree. A flame throwing, 15 game winning, workhorse...I think he would be nice to have back.
December 9, 200322 yr Bad news? I don't agree. I would say No this isn't bad news, it gives us increased flexibility. But, Remember back from the Ozzie press conference... It sounds like the Money we threw at Colon was only available to Colon. :fyou JR, HOW is money spent on one free agent any more valuable than the same amount of money spent on a collection of guys who can make a bigger impact?
December 9, 200322 yr A flame throwing, 15 game winning, workhorse...I think he would be nice to have back. I agree. 9 CGs, top 10 in strikeouts and 2nd in innings pitched. An impressive enough year despite the W/L's. Big blow to not be able to bring him back.

Yeah, but it seems we are going after Everyday Eddy now. I think JR will spend some of that money.
December 9, 200322 yr It sounds like the Money we threw at Colon was only available to Colon. You're right, it makes no sense to say we'll open up the wallet for this one guy but don't expect the money to be available to try to improve the team in other sorely needed ways.
December 9, 200322 yr Everyday eddie, slightly overrated, and will probably get overpaid. I like him as a bullpen work horse, I don't think he is a great closer.

Guardado is way over-rated... we will Way overpay him... PLus he doesn't even fill a need... we ALREADY HAVE THE BEST LEFT-HANDED RELIEVER IN BASEBALL
December 9, 200322 yr Everyday eddie, slightly overrated, and will probably get overpaid. I like him as a bullpen work horse, I don't think he is a great closer. Not a great closer, I agree, but it would be a great move, even at $5 mill a year or whatever the hell he'd get. You take what he did for Minnesota away from him and give it to us. That's quite big if you ask me.
December 9, 200322 yr If Bart lgoes to the Angels, it is another case of the weigh of all flesh. Plus, we get two draft picks.
December 9, 200322 yr We do get two draft picks and I wil be completely fine with letting Bartolo go if we get a top starting pitcher. Last year going into the winter meetings we had a rotation of this: Buerhle Garland Biddle Rauch God knows who else We will be fine, Kenny won't let us down and acquire a top of the line pitcher or two solid middle of the rotation starters one way or another. Just give it some time, wait till after the winter meetings to judge our off-season.
December 9, 200322 yr We do get two draft picks and I wil be completely fine with letting Bartolo go if we get a top starting pitcher. We could lose some the picks if we get certain pitchers. Also if we sign other FA's. I am fine with him leaving though.

December 9, 200322 yr You got to sign the draft picks , not just draft them do not get to excited about draft picks few pan out. I meant if we sign other team's free agents. They would get our picks.

Thank You Asshole, for making a Sox Fan Miserable again Bastard. You sould bu Hung. :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou :fyou
December 9, 200322 yr If Bart lgoes to the Angels, it is another case of the weigh of all flesh. Plus, we get two draft picks. God we will have alot of draft picks, unless of course we sign other free agents, or we draft the guys and then not sign them. We have done that before. Furthermore, its not like we have the best drafting in the league. I would rather compete.
December 9, 200322 yr I meant if we sign other team's free agents. They would get our picks. SS my comment was not on you it was to the quote in your post, I agree with you, I was talking about the draft picks being OK for Colon.
December 9, 200322 yr Draft Picks that Never f***ing Pan out..... Yeha we got Corwin Malone and Jon Rauch.. LOL!!! :fyou :fyou :fyou Reinsdorf
