Distance wise, Jon Gray is further away from the 25 men on the Rockies major league roster than he's been at any point since being drafted by the organization, but don't let that fool you. While nearly 3,000 miles of American landscape separate the beaches of south Florida from the forests of the Pacific northwest where Gray turned in his most recent impressive start for the Albuquerque Isotopes, they might as well be connected by a baseball wormhole.
