What's more fascinating - that Bartolo Colon pitches impressively or that he actually impressed the Yankees coaching staff with his first outing of the spring? This is the 26 time World Champion New York Yankees and they are actually getting excited about a 37 year old pitcher who hasn't pitched in the major leagues in 18 months. This guy actually lost some weight in the off-season and he still came into camp at a whopping 267 pounds. Colon has a better chance of opening holes for Brandon Jacobs than he does at pitching effectively at the back end of the Yankees rotation. Bartolo makes Boomer Wells look thin. I'm sure he will be a good mentor for Joba Chamberlain, who has no plate discipline of his own at the dinner table. Joba got big on Nebraska's beef and potatoes. You can only imagine how big Joba is going to get after Bartolo introduces him to rice and beans.
