OBP way too low and poor-fair OPS. Looking like a completely wasted pick at this point.

Colon seems like a guy that would be a good throw in for a trade next season for a pitcher if we can't get a top FA. Colon was picked before we acquired Escobar, who is now looking liking a legit SS of the future. And assuming we still Giovatella, Colon becomes expendable. However, I suppose if you like Colon better you package Giovatella and move Colon to second base.
That just gave me a conspiracy idea. Perhaps the Royals do like the idea of keeping Colon and dumping Giovatella which is why they won't bring him up. That way he doesn't have a chance to fail at the major league level and his value stays high for outside teams looking at a potential trade. Just typing out loud and throwing it out there.
