The Boston Red Sox have reached preliminary agreement on a minor league contract with right-hander Bartolo Colon, a source told ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick.




Colon

If he makes the Opening Day roster, Colon would provide rotation insurance for Boston, which will be without Curt Schilling, who is working his way back from a shoulder injury.

Under the terms of the agreement, Colon is not guaranteed any money, a baseball source told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. If he pitches in the major leagues, it will be for a low baseball salary with performance bonuses.

The White Sox, Cardinals and Astros also had been rumored as possible suitors for Colon this offseason. According to Olney, Colon was close to an agreement with the Mets earlier this winter, but New York backed off out of concern for the condition of his pitching arm.

Colon suffered through an injury-marred 2007 for the Los Angeles Angels, posting a 6-8 record and a 6.34 ERA -- the worst of his career.

In his 11-year career, Colon is 146-95 with a 4.10 ERA. He is a two-time 20-game winner, and he won the Cy Young Award in 2005 with the Angels.

Not at all. Bartolo never took care of his body early in his career and I doubt he is now, so I don't know how much of a recovery he'll make.

That's a nice low-risk, high-reward signing.

I just hope that fatass has nothing left in the tank

I don't think you have anything to worry about....

He decided years ago that instead of steroids he would inject saturated fat.

Its a good deal for the Red Sox. They didn't guarantee any money to him so if he works out, it will be great for the Sox to be another good pitcher.

This is a great move. I know everyone believes he shot and he probably is but think.. he's only two years removed from winning the Cy Young. If he could be a halfass 5th starter it'd be considered a steal..

Pretty much agree with the general consensus here. It's a good signing as if he doesn't pan out everything's still ok.
