Despite his initial struggles with the Bulls at the plate, Figueroa is slowly and patiently learning the different nuances of Triple-A pitching and seems on track to take the next step forward in his development. http://rays.scout.com/2/1191234.html 2047 Ben Christoph http://rays.scout.com/2/1191234.html Fri, 01 Jun 2012 17:41:00 GMT 1 322 Tampa Bay rays This first month of the season is in the books and we are happy to announce that Montgomery Biscuits infielder Cole Figueroa has been named the 2012 season's first Player of the Month by Rays Digest.

Part of the problem has been the team’s inability to consistently hit but the main concern is the team’s pitching staff. The Biscuits carry the highest ERA in the league, have walked the most batters and have struck out the least in the league. http://rays.scout.com/2/1182586.html 2047 Will Sammon http://rays.scout.com/2/1182586.html Mon, 30 Apr 2012 20:55:00 GMT 1 322 Tampa Bay rays Montgomery beat writer Will Sammon checks in with his latest Montgomery Biscuits notebook and shares notes on Hak-Ju Lee, Alex Colome and more. http://rays.scout.com/2/1178834.html 2047 Will Sammon http://rays.scout.com/2/1178834.html Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:03:00 GMT 1 322 Tampa Bay rays What started out as a joke in spring training, has jumpstarted Montgomery Biscuits Cole Figueroa's offensive production through the season’s first 8 games.
