Default Re: Sox, Colon reach minor league deal
I agree with SITN, Jacko. It wouldn't hurt to have him, but it probably wouldn't help either.

I heard Gammons say that the Red Sox don't want Lester and Buchholz to throw 200 innings. If Colon makes the team, he'll be that spot starter/long relief guy. If he can give them 100 innings, that 50 less for Clay and John.
