| Bartolo Colon's former team gets the best of him |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com (5/9/13) Athletics starting pitcher Bartolo Colon had nothing working during a 9-2 loss to Cleveland Thursday. Colon (3-2), who was facing his former team for the first time since 2005, allowed a season-high six runs on eight hits, while striking out four in four innings.
The right-hander got into trouble early, as the second batter in the first inning, Jason Kipnis, connected for a two-run homer following Michael Brantley's leadoff single. The Indians added three more runs in the second inning and Nick Swisher hit a solo home run leading off the third inning.
Colon's ERA rose from 3.62 to 4.57. It was the third straight start he allowed three or more runs. It was the second time in three starts he allowed at least five earned runs.
Colon is expected to return to action Tuesday against the Rangers. Colon was 1-1 with a 2.40 ERA in two starts against Texas last season.

| Bartolo Colon hurt by big inning |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com (4/28/13) Athletics starter Bartolo Colon gave up a big inning in the fourth against the Orioles in Oakland Sunday afternoon. That was enough for him to be saddled with the no-decision.
Colon was lucky not to take the loss as the Athletics regrouped against Miguel Gonzalez and the Orioles pitching staff. They came back from a 5-0 deficit after five innings to tie the score.
Colon allowed five earned runs on nine hits and no walks over six innings. He struck out three over 75 pitches. Colon's ERA is now at 3.38 as his record remains at 3-0.

| Bartolo Colon not getting enough credit |
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer (4/24/13) I know. He's 39, doesn't get the swings and misses he used to and is coming off a 50-game suspension for using performance enhancing drugs, so he doesn't exactly deserve the red-carpet treatment.
But the numbers speak for themselves: Bartolo Colon is an effective pitcher. Has been for a little more than three seasons now.
And after three straight start of six-plus innings with only one walk between them, he deserves to be rostered in more than 42 percent of leagues.
I'm not recommending him over Derek Holland, Jose Quintana, Julio Teheran or anyone like that. The upside just doesn't compare. But as long he's healthy, Colon will be a reliable streaming option for the occasional two-start week. Think another Jeremy Guthrie, who's owned in about 60 percent of leagues.

| Through mid-August, Bartolo Colon was making his one-year, $2 million deal look like a masterstroke for the Athletics. In 24 starts, Colon had garnered 10 wins with a 3.43 ERA, and he saved the bullpen by being highly efficient and going deep into games. Unfortunately, two dozen starts were all Colon gave the A's, as Major League Baseball handed down a 50-game suspension for a positive test for testosterone. He not only missed the last month and a half of the regular season and the entire postseason, but Colon will also miss the first five games of the 2013 schedule. That won't impact his value much, but it remains to be seen whether Colon can master the strike zone as effectively as he did last season. While Colon was worth starting in standard mixed leagues at times in 2012, he is best left to owners in deeper mixed and AL-only leagues this time around. (Updated 12/4/12) |
