"He'll still work on mechanics over the last couple weeks with [pitching coach Steve] Foster and [bullpen coach Darren] Holmes. And he'll have a typical offseason," Weiss said. "He should be built up and ready to go for a full season next year."
Gray's season ends on a sour note -- nine hits and five runs in 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Pirates on Monday. Afterward, Gray expressed frustration with not being able to succeed at Coors Field (0-1, 8.27 ERA) the way he did on the road (0-1, 2.70). Club officials believe he will further develop his offspeed pitches, which could make him successful in any venue.
