Speaking of the Sox, if you've been following the mystery surrounding Sox hurler Bartolo Colon's whereabouts this week, you might be curious about whether he ever turned up and took the mound last night. Colon did eventually surface in Charlotte to pitch for the Knights against Norfolk, and pitched and impressive game. Going five innings, he allowed just two hits and one run while earning the win in the Knights' 7-1 victory. For the Sox front office, it must be a relief that Colon seems to be on track to return to the active roster soon -- after Clayton Richard's one-inning, six-earned run outing last night his days in the rotation may be numbered. more ›

Don't worry about that mysterious disappearance of White Sox pitcher Bartolo Colon. While his exact whereabouts still aren't public knowledge but according to the team, he will make his scheduled rehab start in Charlotte tonight.

Said Williams, "Efforts to contact his agent have been successful. Their efforts to contact their client have not been so successful." more ›

From the folks at the Sports Hernia come these shots of major league baseball players on spring training photo day. This shot of Bartolo Colon is all the reason you need to know why Ozzie Guillen insists on being the face of the White Sox (although Lance Broadway could give him a run for his money from a photogenic standpoint) and probably has scores of Grant Park softball league wizards thinking they might have a shot at a spot in the Sox rotation. more ›

While we were happy to see Javier Vazquez and his inflated salary depart from the White Sox's starting rotation, we were concerned about the team's ability to round out its pitching staff in '09. GM Kenny Williams hopes he's plugged at least one of the holes with his latest move. Reports are that the Sox have reached a deal with former Cy Young winner Bartolo Colon. Having pitched for the Sox in 2003, this would mark Colon's second stint on the South Side. more ›
