Third Time's a Charm

After two failed attempts to bolster the White Sox starting rotation, GM Ken Williams finally seems to have made a good trade! The Sox picked up Bartolo Colon from the Expos as part of a 3 way trade also involving the Yankees.

Let's hope this one works out and they Sox can find a way to sign Colon to a long term deal. Williams has already unloaded three promising young starting pitchers (Mike Sirotka, Josh Fogg, and Kip Wells) to land veterans who haven't panned out (David Wells and Todd Ritchie), and to give up yet another young starter (Rocky Biddle) for 1 year's work by Colon would leave the Sox's rotation under-staffed in future years.
