The Rockies see a bright future for right-hander Jhoulys Chacin. Chacin finished his rookie season 9-11 with a 3.28 ERA in 21 starts and 28 games total for Colorado. More impressively, he was 4-2 with a 1.44 ERA in his final nine starts. "There's no doubt that he possesses those qualities that can be at the forefront of the rotation," Rockies pitching coach Bob Apodaca said. "He has qualities of loving to compete, and the competition that he has against quality teams, because he does possess smoothness of stuff. "It's not only breaking pitches, it's a fastball that darts with movement, and I think this was also a season he felt not only could he compete here, he could win here."
