text: When did Jon Gray become Cy Young? In his rookie season last year he went 10 and 10 with an era of 4.61. The word to describe that performance is mediocre. Perhaps that makes him the ace of the Rockies staff, but it doesn't lead me to believe he is going to make a big impact on the team or season. If the Rockies are going to make a run at the wild card (the last two weeks pretty much flushed the dream of winning the west) the Monforts are going to have to spend some money and young players to bring in veteran players.
