As the Colorado Rockies season continues to dwindle down the drain, Aaron Cook continues to take the mound every fifth day.

According to various sources, the Red Sox have signed Aaron Cook to a minor league contract.Joking aside, Cook might be better than his won-loss record and career ERA of damn close to 5 (4.53) might look like. He's spent his entire career in Colorado, a notorious hitter's park. He's 32, old for this year's shopping list but young enough to surprise us. Welcome to Boston, kid.
