Bartolo Colon was a member of the Chicago White Sox back in 2003 and now he will be a member of the White Sox in 2009. Colon and the White Sox agreed on a one-year contract for $1million dollars. Colon can earn up to $2 million depending on how many innings he pitches.
Colon has not pitched that great in the past two seasons while he was with the Los Angeles Angels, however the Sox are hoping he can stay healthy and turn things around in 09. In the two previous seasons for the Angels, Colon had a 7-13 combined record in 28 total starts, with a dismal 5.90 ERA.
I like the signing as the upside is huge for the Sox. $1 million for Colon is a steal in my opinion!
