Colon Pitches Well In Florida

El Gordo pitched well today going 3 scoreless innings, he did not walk any batters and had 2 K's while giving up 4 hits. You have to take the results with a grain of salt because he was pitching against a Single A team. He is not about to join the Red Sox rotation but it is a step forward after his disastrous performance against the Yankees. Red Sox minor league pitching coach Goose Gregson said the following about Colon's outing: "I thought overall it was a very good outing. He warmed up extremely well. He elevated a few fastballs that put him in some hitters' counts, thus there was a little hard contact early in the game. But what I liked most was he stayed in his delivery, made some adjustments, got big outs when they had runners on base So I thought, overall, it was a very good adjustment to the pitches that he did elevate. He threw some very, very good two-seamers today. The two-seamer is the one I think he blew up two bats, [and] got a couple of weak ground balls out there. But, overall, I would assess it as a very good outing; a positive in the right direction."
