News: Colon’s Performance in WL Finals
In a report for Baseball Prospectus, Derek Jacques recaps Bartolo Colon’s recent 
pitching performance during yesterday’s Dominican League Finals.
According Jacques, Colon mainly threw two-seam fastballs in the 88-91 MPH range, touching 94 once in the fourth inning.
However, Jacques adds, “Despite the results, he hardly looked dominating.”
According to multiple reports, though the Indians, Mets and White Sox had been scouting Colon, all three teams have backed off their pursuit in recent days.
Colon, who has been battling shoulder and elbow problems since 2006, has a career record of 146-95 and a 4.10 ERA in 306 starts.
…as i have said before, i’m not so sure that the Mets need to lock in a spot with a guy like colon right now…if he ends up signing a multi-year deal, as MLB.com once suggested he is seeking, not bringing him to queens will make even more sense…
…i mean, he is worth inviting to camp, but i assume that is he second choice at this point…of course, his options are clearly thinning out, so maybe that is becoming more of an option than we think…who knows…either way, i have no interest in seeing the Mets get more bogged down in players who are clearly on the back nine of a career…
