The Rockies signed righty Bobby Cassevah to a minor league deal, MLBTR has learned. The 27-year-old will report to Major League camp tomorrow.
Cassevah had been outrighted off the Angels' 40-man roster on Thursday, after which he elected free agency. He spent most of 2012 at Triple-A, where he posted a 6.22 ERA, 5.4 K/9, 3.7 BB/9, and 0.58 HR/9 in 46 1/3 relief innings. Prior to the 2011 season, Baseball America ranked Cassevah 24th among Angels prospects, noting that he "may be the most extreme groundball pitcher in the minors." Indeed, he owns a 65.9% career groundball rate in the Majors to date.
