Think about that statement for just a moment. Last year, it was Jon Gray who was bounced to Triple-A Albuquerque. This season, it’s Kyle Freeland, who finally had shown enough to the Colorado Rockies after another rocky start on Thursday that things weren’t going to get better without a major shift in Freeland’s dynamic and surroundings.
Now comes the biggest question of all: How does Freeland respond to the demotion?
The 26-year-old southpaw, bearing a 7.13 ERA, was all class at Coors Field on Friday afternoon after learning of the demotion.
