DBAHO Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Well if they can't get Schilling, or resign Millwood, looks like Colon's their next target. Philly Inquirer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 No offense to Bart, but do any of you think he is just gonna get fatter and fatter? I liked his performance with our Sox, but I'd rather keep Maggs and go from there than keep Bart for big big bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastime Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 It's not even the fact that he's a blimp, the most important thing is that I heard a scout during the season comment how he was surprised that Colon's arm didn't blow out. And now a "source" GM has come out and said the same thing. And I've heard that about Colon for the last 2 years. He's a disaster waiting to happen. Him blowing us off might be the best thing that ever happened to our starting pitching staff. He's been pitching on borrowed time for a long time, and I think that he pops that arm this year. Let him pop that arm in another uniform. However, he will still be happy even with a blown arm, because you can still stuff 10 Whoppers down your throat with your left arm.

I'll hate him if he pitches anywhere else. I'm still in the camp that thinks we still have a chance to sign him, but we're starving to death, we have 2 tree huts and some horse meat. I'll stay till the end, I think fat guys can pitch effectively until they're 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 This isn't a big surprise. Philly really feels like this is their time to overtake the braves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 So Phillies will pay 13 Mill a year to Colon. He will post a 3.50 ERA, winning 16 games. And they still will lose the division by 7-10 games games of the Braves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I can't recall where I read it, sorry, but someone (a baseball insider) referring to the ligament in Colon's right elbow called it "ugly". I'm not sure about any more details or how they know what it looks like, but that arm very well could "pop" this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah that elbow mite just scare enough teams off that we mite still hav a chance to resign him, but i seriously doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
