    Bartolo Colon still needs a translator?

    The Indians signed him in 1993 and the guy still can't speak English.

    Definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. This is his last chance to play major league baseball, and he shows up to camp out of shape. Can't believe the Yanks are that desperate for starting pitching that they call anyone with a pulse to spring training.

    He should have followed CC and stopped eating all that Captain Crunch.

    These were my exact thoughts. He looked hungry and out of breath today while pitching.

    i'm sure he can speak it, but maybe uses a translator in interviews to make sure he doesn't **** up? especially when he's trying to get one last paycheck?

    i haven't had spanish since high school, and being in Cancun for a week 2 months ago brought it all back pretty quickly. being in-country you learn (remember) much quicker.

    i guess it just comes down to the persons desire to learn the language, yao ming was speaking great english after his 2nd season in the nba after he hardly knew a single word his rookie year!

    he can speak it. hates interviews. can't believe someone signed him. totally washed up with boston a couple of years back. give some triple A 28 yr old a chance instead. cheaper and same result.

    They were saying on the radio that's why the Mets clubhouse had such a rift.

    After a bad loss all of the beat reporters come to the player to ask the hard questions. What did all of the hispanic players say? "No Speaka".

    So the beat reporters go to David Wright, Francor and all the white player and grille them for a 1/2 hour why the team lost the game.

    Yeah, that pissed people off.

    I see, a fellow cereal connoisseur! I agree with your sentiments, and to think that it used to be my favorite cereal.

    Why would he speak English if they have a translator for him?

    If your boss provides limo service for you every day to go to work will you drive your own car?

    Point is if they never gave him a translator he would have been forced to learn how to speak English. That's how most people learn a foreign language. Necessity is the mother of invention.
