I don’t mind it at all. You could never count on Colon to throw strikes and get people out. He had plenty of chances the previous two seasons to make his mark here and he wasn’t up to the task. Besides, we got Miner out of that Farnsworth deal as well as Colon. Miner is looking to be the more valuable of the two thus far. So in essence we got Miner and a PTBNL for Farnsworth and have rid ourselves of a middling relief pitcher with anger management issues. Where’s the problem?

Wheres the Gary Sheffield’s comment posting!!?

I don’t likt this deal, when the Tigs traded Farnsworth, the main persn they wanted was Colon. Colon has a ton of potnetial, just personal issues.

Oh well, Tigs got a lot of good young pitching.

“Also interesting - Maroth had a higher OPS than Monroe, Infante, Rabelo and Perez.”

We really threw away our offensive depth with that trade

Quick note about Thames batting in the two hole. I understand we want a righty against the lefty, but I questioned why Pudge wouldn’t bat second.

But a quick glance at the stats shows that Thames has (among other things) a higher OPS, and a higher RC/27 than pudge.

Also interesting - Maroth had a higher OPS than Monroe, Infante, Rabelo and Perez.

That “punch his ticket” pun is just irresistible.

There was no spot for Colon anyway, but most certainly not in the entire organization after what he did to Jason Karmuth.

Hmm, like none of us here didn’t see this coming. I’ve no sympathy especially after hearing about the permanent damage done to Jason Karnuth’s face.

Wonder if he’ll have a “no headphone clause” in his KC contract.
