Today, the Tampa Bay Rays will send Alex Colome to the mound to take on Cleveland Indians right-hander Cody Anderson, who will be making his major league debut. You probably have not heard the name “Cody Anderson” in a Rays context before, but it is actually quite appropriate that his initial big league outing will come against the Rays. After all, they drafted him in the 17th round of the 2010 MLB Draft before the Indians drafted him again and signed him in 2011.
Baseball America is the most respected public available scouting source at this point, but they didn’t know what to make of Anderson back in 2010.
