Let's keep in mind he's 35 for the 2008 season, and he hasn't been consistently good since he was 30. He did have a good year in 2005 (although voting aside, it certainly shouldn't have been a Cy Young Award season!), but look at the three seasons that surround 2005. In three of his last four seasons, Colon has posted two seasons with ERA's above 5.00 and another one above 6.00. Maybe the baseball fairy will come and sprinkle magic dust on his right arm while he sleeps and he'll have a rebound season, but the odds are slim. And that's the only time you'll see the word slim when talking about Colon.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462391291425816004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-1998629658378408162008-02-24T21:18:00.000-05:002008-02-24T21:18:00.000-05:00Just got done looking through his top ten statisti...Just got done looking through his top ten statistical comps through age 34. Of the ten, seven of them were completely done at that point, and none of the other three enjoyed what you'd call a good season after that point, unless you count Mike Flanagan's fluky good year as a reliever at age 39. Combining that with Colon's body type and ungood performance over the winter, and it's pretty likely he's done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
