I like it. With a guy in his 40s I'd prefer to go with a 1-year deal, but the reality is damn near every pitcher is getting a multiyear deal this offseason, so you're going to have to pony up the extra year if you want somebody good. I'd rather have Colon for 2 years than Bronson Arroyo for 3.
Hopefully he can provide quality innings and help make the transition to Harvey's return in 2015 a bit easier.
Zack Wheeler
Jon Niese
Bartolo Colon
Dillon Gee
Jenry Mejia or Stopgap. Rafael Montero or Noah Syndergaard by June or July
That's not bad at all.
