One Sexy Pitching Option Nobody Has Mentioned

by Mick Lite

Mozeliak mentioned that the free agent choices would take a month or so to ramp up and by then they would have guys coming back from injury, so they were going to look outside the organization for pitching help that was ready now.

A reunion with Shelby Miller has been brought up for Memphis depth with the chance he can contribute at the MLB level.

A few big names via trade have been tossed around by fans like Scherzer, Berrios, Marquez, etc… but what about Big Sexy?

He pitched for 21 seasons in the majors. Made his major league debut in 1997 with the Cleveland Indians at the age of 24 and last pitched for the Texas Rangers in 2018 at the age of 45. You would think the guy would be enjoying retirement by now right?

Last night, in the Mexican League, he threw a complete game. Dude is 48 years old and still dealing aspirin tablets.

Héctor Gómez on Twitter: “Last night, at 48 years and 19 days old, Bartolo Colón pitched a complete game for the @AcererosOficial in the @LigaMexBeis. He made 90 pitches, of which 70 were strikes.pic.twitter.com/jNWpQxVTHP / Twitter”

If Julio Franco could play outfield, I’d say call him too!
