Bad luck has cut short Jordan Lyles' first two years in Colorado. Will the third time be the charm for him and the Rockies?
Having lived more than a decade just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, I followed Jordan Lyles' career from the day he was drafted in the first round in 2008 by the Houston Astros out of Hartsville High School in Hartsville, South Carolina.
When the Astros (remember the really bad Astros? Yeah, those Astros) brought Lyles up to the big leagues just two (!) years later, before he'd even turned 21, I was surprised.
