Bartolo Colon

With the Angels, Colon got a 4 year deal for $51 million, which tells me thats about $12.75 million a year.

The Red Sox are paying him $1.2 million this year, and that only became guaranteed once he made the 40 man roster. So far, in two starts, he's 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA and 8 K's in 12 innings pitched. Monday night, he out dueled Mariners Ace Felix Hernandez, who would be a household name if he didn't pitch for Seattle. So far so good.

The Red Sox are in second in the AL East, a half game behind the Rays. I refuse to believe Tampa Bay is for real. If it were any one else, I'd be following their games daily, checking up on them. But, they're Tampa Bay. Enough said.

The Yankees are in 5th place in the American League East. Joba Chamberlain is being converted from a reliever to a starter to try to stop the bleeding. They are hosting the All Star game this year. Imagine if they're still a last place team come July? Even better, come September? I couldn't think of a better way to send Yankee Stadium out than with a last place team whose sole claim to fame is hosting the All Star game which will be managed, mind you, by the Red Sox Terry Francona.
