Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen

Angels - Dled Colon
Los Angeheim Angels - Placed P Bartolo Colon on the 15-day DL; recalled P Kevin Gregg
Not the news that Angel fans like to see. Colon’s looked awful this season and I’d bet he’s been pitching through a sore shoulder for some time now. The current plan appears to be to shunt Hector Carrasco to the rotation, as they were going to do before they signed Jeff Weaver, but I still don’t think that’s a very good idea. Keep Carrasco as a solid reliever who can go a few innings and maybe give Jered Weaver, who’s certainly their best starter option not on the team, a taste of the big leagues. There’s no firm diagnosis on Colon’s arm so far, but it could very well be a bad one.

1. Slinger Francisco Barrios (Dr. Memory) Posted: April 20, 2006 at 04:00 PM (#1976627)Of course, there is little worse than a dead Colon.
He has? He did have one horrific start, but in his other 12 innings he has a 3.00 ERA and 8 K's to 2 BB's (though 16 hits, for a too-high 1.50 WHIP). I missed his last start, but he apparently looked pretty good in it.
The MRI was encouraging in that it showed he just has some inflammation, and not a tear. If things turn out badly long-term, I'm sure Jered Weaver will be brought up to take his spot in the rotation; part of Carrasco's role is to be a spot starter, which he did today. I doubt Carrasco is viewed as a legit rotation alternative in the long-run, though I guess I could be too optimistic on that front.
