Inbox: Is Gray Rox best homegrown pitcher?

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Rockies couldn't go wrong on the day of the 2013 MLB Draft. Picking third overall, they were going to end up with either Oklahoma right-handed pitcher Jon Gray or University of San Diego slugger Kris Bryant.

Of course, the Cubs took Bryant with the second overall pick, and he helped them make history. If all goes as it has so far, the rest of Gray's career could be a highlight in Rockies history.

Where Gray eventually will fall in the Rockies' annals is the subject of the first question in the Beat Reporter's Inbox presented by Edward Jones:

@DanielRutter1 -- Will Jon Gray be the best pitcher homegrown to ever put on a Purple uniform?
