Rosscup, Patterson, Cuevas dark-horse candidates this spring for Rockies

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Lefty relief pitcher Zac Rosscup dominated left-handed hitters -- 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts -- last season, but it takes more than a small, stellar sample size to impress the Rockies.

The Rockies have veterans Jake McGee and Adam Dunn, plus versatile Chris Rusin, as lefties in the bullpen. So Rosscup, 29, who appeared in one game for the Cubs last year before arriving in a trade for righty reliever Matt Carasiti and appearing in nine Rockies games, finds himself lower on the depth chart but still with high hopes.
