SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - — Rockies' pitcher David Hale is an anomaly. Not many players would display the persistence he's shown after the three injuries he sustained over the past year. Headed into his fourth year of big league service, the Princeton graduate is hoping his rehabilatation and the changes he's made will translate into a bounce back season.
Before the 2015 season started, the right-hander went down with a left oblique injury. After rehab he was promoted to the Rockies from Triple-A Albuquerque but soon after was on the disabled list with a left groin strain on July 9.
