Tampa Bay Rays: Rasmus Having a Rough Time at AA-Montgomery

Take it for what it is, but Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Colby Rasmus has looked completely over-matched by AA pitching this week in Montgomery. Granted, he was facing the best pitching rotation in the Southern League, belonging to the Mississippi Braves.

In 14 plate appearances thus far, Rasmus, 30, is hitting .071 (1-for-13) with the one hit being a double and striking out four times. Last night, I was in attendance for the Biscuits/Braves game in Montgomery and Braves prospect Mike Soroka made Rasmus look foolish, popping out to the infield and displaying a lack of approach at the plate.
