Bart Colon  
Starting Pitcher | Chicago White Sox

Pitching
He can get groundballs when he needs them in a jam. His slider is sharp and breaks both horizontally and vertically. His fastball is just average, and therefore he relies heavily on placing it in different parts of the strike zone or setting it up with his slider. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.

Defense & Hitting
Colon remains one of the best fielding pitchers in the game's history. He's average in terms of controlling the running game. Colon is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Colon has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
Colon performance in AAA is making it difficult for the Chicago White Sox to ignore him much longer. Expect his name to be on the September call-up list. I really like what this guy brings to the table.
