Bartolo in 04

[Ridgerunner]

Predictions? i just traded for him to go behind Pedro and Schilling in a deep league. What do you think he'll do after a big payday? I'm banking on 18 wins 3.5 ERA 1.15 WHIP and 180K. What do you think?
Thanks,
RR

You have Pedro and Curt and you're banking on 18 wins from Colon? I guess that'd be nice, but I wouldn't be worried about SP's if I had those 2 to front the rotation.

I think he'll be OK but since he started getting really fat he hasn't been getting many K's. He should be good for 15-20 wins with a good ERA and WHIP. The K's seem to be going south though. But his WHIP has decreased each of the past 3 years, which is a good sign. Needless to say he's a very nice 3rd SP to have.

bump?

He'll get the W's but he has lost it over the past 2 years. No dominating fastball anymore. High ERA all the time. If you only need your predictions to happen then your fine, those are pretty reasonable numbers to expect.
