The Colorado Rockies' young lefty could move quickly if he proves he can handle late inning matchups.
Scottsdale, Ariz. -- When Mylz Jones hit a leadoff triple in a tie game in the bottom of the eighth inning, nobody told Jerry Vasto it was just a meaningless scrimmage, an intrasquad only meant to get the Colorado Rockies' minor leaguers ready for the season out on the backfields of the club's Arizona complex.
So when Vasto induced a ground ball back to himself and fanned the next two hitters to escape the man on third, nobody out situation and leave the score tied heading to the ninth inning, he walked off the field triumphantly.
