The Colorado Rockies sign Jesus Colome

The Rockies have signed 33-year old righty reliever Jesus Colome to a minor league deal. Colome pitched in 12 games (0 starts) for the Mariners last season and he was 0-1 with a 5.29 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP. He has now pitched in 341 games (0 starts) in his first 10 years in the majors and he is 19-27 with 6 saves, a 4.69 ERA and a 1.51 WHIP. Colome has always had a great arm (and he still does) but he has never really learned how to pitch. If the Rockies can coach him up they might have something in him.
