Red Sox fill their empty ‘fat pitcher’ spot

By Benjamin Kabak

With Curt Schilling out indefinitely, the Red Sox needed to fill that over-the-hill, fat guy spot in their rotation. To that end, they have reportedly inked Bartolo Colon to a minor league deal. Colon, coming off a shoulder injury, was unimpressive in winter auditions and probably won’t make the Red Sox anyway. But we can still make fun of him.

it’s real, look like he had those fat removing surgery done on his belly or something.

as for Colon, A-rod and his career 1.500 OPS against him is certainly looking foward to facing him a loooot :P
