That was fast. Torres didn't fare well in his major league debut Monday night against the Yankees, allowing one hit and three walks in the top of the ninth. He took the loss for walking in the go-ahead run. The 23-year-old will be back eventually, but some more work on the minor league level wouldn't hurt. | ||||||

Torres, 23, has a 3.27 ERA over parts of six seasons in the minors. He was 6-6 with a 3.23 ERA and 99/51 K/BB ratio over 18 starts with the Bulls this season. The southpaw could be the first option out of the bullpen if Alex Cobb runs into any trouble in his start against the Yankees on Monday night. | ||||||

| Sat Mar 5 2011 | 11:19 | Torres to begin year at Triple-A | ||||
Rays manager Joe Maddon said Alex Torres will begin the season as a starter at Triple-A instead of competing for a bullpen spot. | ||||||
"The stuff is really good; it's high-end stuff," Maddon said. "You get a young pitcher like that, once he finds fastball command, he will take off." Maddon said Torres, 23, is viewed as valuable starter depth at Triple-A in case injuries should strike. The lefty went 11-6 with a 3.47 ERA over 27 starts with Double-A Montgomery last season. | ||||||
