Alex Colome is 26 years old yet has just 8 big league appearances to his credit. He hopes that this stint with the Tampa Bay Rays will be the turning point for him, the time that he arrives to stay and pitches the way he know he is capable. Before he gets the chance to start that tonight, however, let’s talk for a little while about how he arrived at this juncture.
Who would have thought that Colome would be still an inexperienced big leaguer in 2015 after how good he looked in 2012? That year, the Tampa Bay Rays were planning to use Colome is a bullpen weapon on September and possibly the postseason like they had with David Price in 2008 and Matt Moore in the year prior.
