So... Are we Still Counting on this Guy?

With the first week of Spring Training in the books, easily one of the biggest stories from Glendale has been the amazing comeback of Jose Contreras. 30 pounds lighter and somehow ready to pitch to live batters, he has thrust himself into the fold for a job in the starting rotation. All of this, has pushed Bartolo Colon out of the spotlight, but just a few weeks ago, he was all but a lock to be the Sox's 4th starter. Now, that's not so certain. From The Daily Herald,
The timetable for veteran RHP Bartolo Colon, who had elbow chips removed last October, is not as clear.
Regardless of how his elbow feels, he sure looks like shit in this photo; his official mug shot taken last week in Arizona. No surprise that the guys at Deadspin love it.

Colon's stayed out of the news this Spring. Whether or not that's a good thing, I'm not sure.
