Rolison will report to the Rookie level affiliate of the organization, the Grand Junction Rockies, who begin their season on Friday. Rockies’ vice president of scouting Bill Schmidt says that the team has been scouting Rolison since high school, and stuck with him as he went on to pitch collegiately at Ole Miss. Schmidt says that the Rockies will closely monitor Rolison’s innings as the talented 20-year-old left-hander becomes acclimated with the coaching staff.
