If someone sidled up to you and asked you, 'Hey, guess what year Bartolo Colon won the AL Cy Young?' - well, you might look at them a little funny, be that as it may though, would you know what year it was?
2005.

Bartolo, still not speaking English to reporters, still devouring cheeseburgers faster than Jabba the Hutt and Vince Wilfork combined, had a pretty decent outing for the Red Stockings in spring training yesterday, and now the word on the street is he might be the front runner for the fifth starter spot in the Sox pitching rotation.
Let's have a peek at Bartolo's brilliant resumé
