Astros eye Colon

Ed Wade continues to amaze.

Wade has been the Astros general manager for about six months and he continues to have Astros fans scratching their heads. His latest free-agent foray -- a look at Bartolo Colon.

This isn't the Colon of 2000-2005 either. This is a worn-down, overweight Colon, who reportedly has struggled to hit 84 mph in winter ball.

I know the Astros' farm system is thin -- much thinner now since Wade dealt several players to Baltimore for Migue Tejada -- but you have to think someone, anyone, would be more worthy than a washed-up Colon.
