"He's getting wiser about how he uses his pitches and approaches the game." - Pedro Martinez
"He's (Bartolo Colón) going to bully you with his fastball. You've just got to be patient with him and get a good pitch and allow him to make a mistake." - Craig Monroe
"He's got the perfect pitcher's body. He looks like a bigger guy, but he's very athletic, very agile. I wish I had his body. The body takes the brunt of the force, the wear and tear." - Jarrod Washburn
"He sets a standard to where everybody wants to get to that level." - Bud Black
"I feel good for Bartolo-he did a great job." - Johan Santana on Colon winning the 2005 Cy Young Award
"It's bad enough that he throws hard...but none of his pitches is straight!" - Scott Brosius
"The deeper into the game he goes, the harder he throws. I've never seen anyone else do that." - John Hart
