OK, now they're starting to scare me

It's only money, I guess. Their money. Not ours. And - really - what can happen other than he wastes chump change, or surprises us and gives a few starts, before the arm falls off?

Objectively, this means nothing. Bartolo Colon, a Yankee.

He could be a pitching version of Marcus Thames, whatever that is.

But symbolically, this is the most frightening news of the winter. We're down to stems and seeds. Suddenly, Sergio Mitre looks like a fifth starter. Good grief, shouldn't we be talking to Chien-Ming Wang?

It's only a minor league deal with an invitation to spring training relax. He'll either pitch well enough to convince the Yankees to be their 5th starter (yeah right), or pitch in a mediocre fashion and get designated for assignment midseason (much more likely.) Besides, apparently according to an interview Colon says "He's in the best shape of his life."

I do four situps today! Yes! P90X guy is right! Do not say "I can't." Say "I presently struggle with!"

Javy Vasquez and Nick Johnson are beginning to look like genius.

Bartolo is only there to make CC look slim in spring training photos. That and to block out the sun so the fairer skinned Yankees don't burn.
