Astros are interested in Bartolo Colon

Article is in Spanish but basically says that the Astros will have two of its top scouts in Santiago to watch Bartolo Colon pitch in the Caribbean Series. Ed Wade is also there and he says they are interested. Colon says he is healthy and expects to sign next week and he prefers to pitch in the National League. I still think the Astros will sign one from Colon, Kyle Lohse, and Livan Hernandez.

If Colon is healthy he could be a pretty solid pickup. Probably wouldn't cost much so it's a low-risk move, and he has the potential to be quite good(if he's healthy).

Wouldn't hurt to get him I guess. Those other 2 are terrible, atleast Livan eats up alot of innings(and burritos), but he's awful.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

yeah i agree, i would take a gamble on colon...he is a good pitcher when healthy, but he gets injured alot
