It is what it is
He's 40, and not a knuckleballer....Not many Bartolo Colon's out there getting outs at that age.
I agree on this. Sadly, the word on Bailey was that he was finally learning to pitch, which may have made that contract worth it. We may never know. Lots of very good pitchers started out that way. We don't need the list.There's going to be growing pains with most any young pitcher. Johnny Cueto didn't start out as a ace either. It's a process.
The only guarantee a team gets by waiting another year is that the prospect is going to be another year older.
