Hope what I read was right. Picked up a gold refractor last week

Giolito added to OP. (It was originally slated to be another pitcher.)

Sheesh. Now MiLB's site shows a different guy on the mound today, and Reed scheduled for tomorrow. Not weather-related this time, though.

Nice line!! All the scouting reports I read say they don't think Sheffield will make it as a starter because of his height, but 5'10" or not.....this kid can pitch. I foresee a lot of Sonny Gray comps in his future, which is not necessarily a bad thing!

Kyle Freeland's line - 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 3 K

Very nice. Met him and seemed decent in Modesto but I'm always skeptical promising Rockies pitchers are really gonna make it
