There savior has arrived...... If he has an ERA under 5.5 during his stint, I'll be shocked.

Ponson must've been really disruptive for a team who gives up as many runs as the Rangers to dump him. If I remember right, he did have a respectable 4-1 record with a 3.81 ERA in 9 starts

It has as much "weight" as Colon signing with the Sox. Two over the hill fat pitchers whose only role is to hold down the fort until the other guys get back.

Except for the fact that Colon is a good pitcher when healthy and Ponson just flat out sucks the entire time. There is no way you can say that Ponson is equal to Colon.

Yeah, that.

Ponson's numbers are amazing. He's only had one good year in 10 (2003). How is this guy still around? Tim Wakefield's a stud compared to Ponson's career numbers.

 

Really, based on name recognition alone, I thought Ponson was maybe ok - a fat gem in the rough who never conformed to the MLB standards - but the dude just sucks. The numbers don't lie, though I cant figure out how his lifetime ERA is only 4.9 with all those years of 5+ ERA..

 

GO YANKS!

Oh..true that. In that case, my apologies.

No disagreements there.

There is no doubt Colon WAS a better pitcher than Ponson. Now, they are about the same.

I agree. They both suck.
