Alexander Colome - S - Rays

Rays recalled RHP Alexander Colome from Triple-A Durham.

Colome still has his control issues, but overall he had a nice year between Double- and Triple-A, posting a 3.44 ERA with 90 strikeouts over 91 2/3 innings. The 23-year-old could see the majors sometime in 2013.

Alexander Colome - S - Rays

Rays optioned RHP Alex Colome to Double-A Montgomery.

Colome allowed one run across four innings over three Grapefruit League appearances. The 23-year-old was added to the Rays' 40-man roster in November after posting a 3.82 ERA and 123/72 K/BB ratio over 157 2/3 innings between High-A and Double-A last season. He was ranked as the organization's No. 5 prospect by Baseball America during the offseason.

Alexander Colome - S - Rays

Rays purchased the contract of RHP Alex Colome from Double-A Montgomery.

The move protects him from December's Rule 5 Draft. Colome, who turns 23 late next month, posted a 3.82 ERA and 123/72 K/BB ratio over 157 2/3 innings this season between High-A and Double-A. He has issues with his command, but still has the ceiling of a mid-rotation starter in the long run.

Alexander Colome - S - Rays

Alex Colome allowed just one hit over six scoreless innings Tuesday for low Single-A Bowling Green.

Colome, who was signed out of the Dominican Republic three years ago, went 7-4 with a 1.66 ERA and a 94/32 K/BB ratio in 76 innings for short-season Single-A Hudson Valley last year. He’s definitely an injury-risk, but he’s another big-time arm in a Rays system that keeps coming up with them.
