Rockies senior vice president of Major League operations Bill Geivett said it wasn't an easy decision to demote starting pitcher Drew Pomeranz to Triple-A Colorado Springs, but he said the club feels it will be a beneficial move for the left-handed hurler.
"You also know that it's the best thing for him and it's the best thing for our club, and you've got to make those decisions, no matter how badly you really want him on the club," Geivett said, per MLB.com. "Where he's at right now, he's an attacking fastball guy but with limited use of his secondary pitches. We've got to get that back in order so he can handle a game plan and handle a lineup and do the type of things that I think are not that far away."
