He was available yesterday to pinch hit.

Boy, from the tone of those comments, signing him for a THIRD year would have been thought impossible. But yet, here we are.

Wait, this deserves some recognition. On December 12, 2013: Benjamin Grimm wrote: I like it. It's a risk, but if you avoid risk entirely you never get anywhere, both in baseball and in life. I do think they need Colon more in 2014 than in 2015 when Harvey is expected back and guys like Syndergaard and de Grom and whoever else all have another year of experience. If Colon is still productive, and the Mets don't need him in 2015, he can be traded. If he's awful, then of course they've blown ten million dollars of their 2015 money, but as I said, risks are unavoidable. Andy Martino last night on Mets Hot Stove said that this makes the Mets a contender, at least for a wild card spot. I'm not sure if I'd go that far, but if it turns out that he's right, then the second year may just be the price that you pay for the first year. And who knows? Maybe he'll be pitching for the Mets in the 2015 World Series. Our rocky friend mentioned deGrom before his breakout rookie season. And predicted Colon pitching for the Mets in the 2015 World Series.

My favorite from the second thread: LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Dec 11 2013 06:18 PM Re: Bartolo Colon is so fat... ... his signing should help draw other free agents... gravitationally.

We would have said the same thing even last year when he looked to be on his way out of the rotation. Even at the start of the off-season, it seemed a long shot. Only after the Niese-Walker trade did it seem like a possibility.
