One of the major highlights of the season so far is the possibility that the starting rotation, already widely assumed to be the team’s strength, could be even better than we thought. That is largely due to Jon Gray. In the course of a year Gray has gone from the presumed top starter in the Rockies rotation to third fiddle, with Kyle Freeland and German Márquez the numbers one and two. Now, it’s looking like Gray may realizing his promise — to at least create a three-headed monster at the top of the rotation.
But this is baseball, and we can’t focus exclusively on results at the expense of process.
