According to Baseball America, Colla throws a fastball that edges into the low 90s, but his secondary stuff is fringy and he lacks "pitchability."  He'd obviously be a project.  He signed in late June and joined the State College bullpen in late July.  The results were about as bad as it can get.  The Pirates cut short the carnage after four miserable appearances, probably to try to work out whatever the problem was.  Unless Colla makes some dramatic strides, he figures to return to State College or possibly even the GCL in 2009.
