45 Prospects in 45 Days: Colorado’s Jonathan Gray
Profile Jonathan Gray may be the guy we’ve all been waiting for. The guy who tames Coors Field on a regular basis. Sure, some pitchers have fared well in Coors, Ubaldo Jimenez comes to mind pretty quickly, but the spacious high altitude field ultimately always seems to win. Gray’s power
