Colon actually marks for an exclamation point.

[HaloRed16]

It would mean just that if the Halos acquired him at this point.  Oakland expected to fall, just getting swept by Detroit, while the Halos with a lineup just scratching at this surface of bolstering their rotation behind the best bargain, at this point.  Jump on it, Jerry!!

Was your old id Halothunder?

I'm not sure whether my answer does any good.  Everybody else ignored or looked past it before but, yes, I didn't want it tied to Facebook so I changed it.

And away we go.....

I like his cousin, semi

[HaloRed16]

My suggestion is odd, I know, he's tested positive already, 41 y/o, but he pitched here and he's EFFECTIVE, still. 

[HaloRed16]

You have the Orioles with Cruz, the Jays with Melky, and the Brohaus with Braun...is a necessarily a blemish on the Halos to move on Colon? 

[Vegas Halo Fan]

 A 41-year-old starting pitcher with a history of steroid use is just what this team needs for the stretch run.

I fixed the spelling, but I still don't get the title, LOL.

I think you answered your own question, he is 41 and with a zillion miles on that arm.  Unless he's going back to Europe for a bionic arm, I wouldn't touch him.

[Richard]

With the suggestion of Colon, PASS.

 

 

Besides, if the Angels take him away from the Mets, you don't get gems like this:

what am i reading

[HaloRed16]

Suppose the Halos balk at going after Colon while any of the other contenders needing starting pitching go after this bargain.  Has that team bettered themselves for the stretch run?  Definitely, so why should the Halos back down from the opportunity?

Whose colon?

When I think of Colon I don't think of punctuation, I think of shit.

[stormngt]

Forgetting the fact that Colon pitching is an insult to mlb baseball.

what the hell is wrong with our rotation? I can see maybe adding an ace (which we can't do because of.lack of prospects) but a back end rotation piece? We need a closer.

EFFECTIVE use of Bro and Haus.

I'm about to make quite a stellar point here.

Inevitably, they're facing of needing another reinforcement is why. I believe Skaggs can hold up and keep it going, great stuff, but I'm sure the front office have him to a season max IP limit like the Nats did with Strasburg, too. And, it's uncertain whether Shoemaker will hold up, although he's doing well now. I look over at the A's Billy Beane and what he's facing with Jessie Chavez comparing him to Shoemaker. By their patterns, I'm moving to protect against it, and fear that he might be moving on Colon, himself. So, block him off and get him first, at this point.

Wilson, Richards, Weaver, Colon, Skaggs

Do it, in a hearbeat, have Skaggs pitch at 5 that he's pitched to his season IP limit there.

You guys can keep your "If you follow me on Twitter" openers, I'm starting all of my posts like this from now on.

[Jim]

I don't get the bashing. His trade question seems like a legitimate one.

 

I'd say no to Colon, and not just because of his age, past medical history, or past team history. There are a few other reasons as well. He is just not worth the risk.  

[Lou]

I don't see much bashing. You have your reason for not liking the idea while other people have theirs, myself included.
