He gone

He probably doesn't even know, but Bartolo Colon was released by the White Sox before Tuesday night's game at Seattle.
Colon's whereabouts have been a mystery for the better part of three months, and the 36-year-old starting pitcher has been on the disabled list since July 25 with right elbow inflammation.
The Sox never should have signed Colon in the first place, but here is what they got for 1 million bucks _ a 3-6 record and 4.19 ERA in 12 starts.
So long to one of the stranger guys I've run across in major-league baseball.
Then they shouldn't have signed Garcia or let Contreras back in the rotation either. He was a low risk, high reward signing and it didn't work out. No harm done. JR has enough to cover the million owed.
