According to ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick, the Sox have inked right hander Bartolo Colon to a minor league contract. Colon will attempt to make the Opening Day roster.
Colon was injured for much of last year, going 6-8 with a dismal 6.34 ERA. He has won 20 games twice in his carrer, and was the 2005 Cy Young Award winner.
It looks like Theo is trying to see if he can fill in the gaps left open by Schilling’s injury. It will be interesting to see if the Sox get the Colon of old, or the Colon of last season.
I think it is a good gamble. If Colon rebounds from his injuries, he could be a major asset for the Sox.
