Soothsaying for Sixteen: Bartolo Colón

I challenge you to put down what you think my 2016 season will look like, because everything about me confounds expectations. I'm old. I'm portly. I learned a new skill in my forties. I was signed with the idea that I'll last until I don't and then be tossed over, but I doggedly stuck around through the course of my contract. If I pitch stinky for a few weeks and look like I'm done, I turn a corner, like, EVERY TIME.

Bartolo, you will have a good year. Not your best, but not too shabby. We fans will love you because, as we age, we need more heroes that hang in there.

9-8, 4.10, lotsa laffs. Moves to the pen without complaint and excels when Zach takes off the training Wheels.

10-9, 4.25 ERA, 10 "holds" after he moves to the bullpen when Wheeler arrives mid year, and at least one game-winning RBI.

All fun? No, compadres. He'll get hammered a little in July, a few weeks after moving to the pen; but, yeah, he'll right the ship by August. The buoyancy probably helps wit-- [is clobbered by low-hanging fruit]

If he ever did that in a regular season game, CitiField would collapse.

.500 pitcher with 1-2 of the losses not his fault (no run-support or errors).

Is Bartolo Colon the Best 43-Year-Old Pitcher of All Time?

Among all the statements of respect in this thread, nobody respected Colón enough to predect the magnitude of the season he had I think the closest we come is some combination of cooby, LeiterWagner, and Ashie. But even then, we're not particularly close to the season he had.
