#84 Vince Colbert

Big 6’3”, right-hander.....As some young Indian arms were brought in 1970 or 1971 had decent MLB careers....examples Ed Farmer, Steve Migori ...Sad but true, Vince was not one of them...Short career for the starter/reliever....a call up in 1970 was unsuccessful with ERA over 7.00...rebounded in 1971 and sported a winning year on a 100 loss team going 7-6....chipped in with 10 starts and two saves to the effort.....1972 after 6 appearances without surrendering a run put  in the starting rotation.....struggled in his new role....went 1-7 although ERA only went up by half a run from the year before....finished seasons in minors with inflated ERA....spent 1973 between AAA and AA clubs.....some strong results but Indians had moved on....no interest from other clubs....finished professional career in Mexico....Born in Washington DC.....attended Eastern Utah University and East Carolina University
