In an off season where the Red Sox have seen very little action, Theo certainly made a interesting move during Spring Training. Getting Bartolo Colon was a WHALE of a pick-up. He is obviously a LARGE piece of the puzzle. He has a BIG $1 mill coming to him for a minor league deal that some may say is BLOATED. Get it? He is a FAT ASS!!
He's so freaking big that El Guapo should be stomping up and down at the local Taco Bell. Sure Colon is only 3 years removed from a Cy Young award, but some stats like "whole cows eaten vs games started" since then are startling. Not numbers you want to see.
But honestly, when you look at how little the Sox are giving for HOW MUCH they are getting, by sheer poundage this could be a good deal.
As pointed out by my brother earlier, Colon used to be a big innings eater before he went down with injuries. Too bad innings are so high in calories.

They should change Venti at Starbucks. As in, "Can I get a Bartolo Vanilla Latte?" Or maybe instead of having to order a large at McDonalds I could say "Can a Big Mac value meal, and can I get it Colonized?" Or maybe J.T. Killer can show him the other, other, white meat (baby), which will cause him to lose weight as he runs from the police. J.T. Killer on the other hand runs from no man, and scares the Gods regularly.
I'm looking at this the same way Padres fans are looking at Mark Prior... It will either be the best move ever or a total disaster. Its absolutely a crapshoot
