        <body>Contreras is out until at least mid-summer with the ruptured Achilles tendon...its still iffy whether he'll do much at all outside bullpen work. I wouldn't count on him for 09.</body>

        <body>Colon's a better option THIS YEAR than Richard or Broadway.  What's the word on Contreras?  Heyman didn't list him in the Sox rotation.</body>

        <body>He pitched great for the Red Sox last year when they needed him.  Great signing, as long as he doesn't have to swing a bat and mess up his back again</body>

&lt;div class=&quot;photo&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://img.fannation.com/upload/si_blog_post_images/20241/bartolo_colon.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Bartolo_colon&quot; width=&quot;298&quot; height=&quot;365&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;photo_attributes&quot; style=&quot;text-align:right;&quot;&gt;Bartolo Colon was a workhorse for the White Sox in 2003.&lt;br /&gt;Doug Benc/Getty Images&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Six years later, &lt;strong&gt;Bartolo Colon&lt;/strong&gt; is returning to the South Side, SI.com has confirmed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pending a physical, the White Sox and Colon have agreed to a one-year contract. The deal was first reported by FOXsports.com.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Colon, 35, started seven games for the Red Sox last season, going 4-2 with a 3.92 ERA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2003, Colon went 15-13 with a 3.87 ERA for Chicago, logging a career-high 242 innings with nine complete games.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If healthy, Colon figures to compete with &lt;strong&gt;Clayton Richard&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Jeff Marquez&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Lance Broadway&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Aaron Poreda&lt;/strong&gt; for the rotation's final two spots behind &lt;strong&gt;Mark Buehrle&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Gavin Floyd&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;John Danks&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
