Casey, who served in a reserve role for the Red Sox in 2008, hit .322 with no homers and 17 RBIs in 199 at-bats. Colon spent more of his season rehabbing from various injuries than he did on the mound. When healthy, he was effective, going 4-2 with a 3.92 ERA for the Red Sox. When the Red Sox informed Colon in late September that he'd be used out of the bullpen for the rest of the season, he left the team and went home to the Dominican Republic. At that point, the Red Sox put him on the suspended list.
News: Red Sox SP Bartolo Colon filed for free agency Friday. The right-hander was placed on the Red Sox restricted list when he left the team in September for personal reasons. He was out from mid-June until early September with a lower back strain.
Analysis: Colon went 4-2 with a 3.92 ERA in seven starts for Boston. He showed he still has some Fantasy appeal when healthy and making starts, but he'll enter 2009 as nothing more than a deep sleeper. Cut him in all leagues
