Outfielder Zac Veen and catcher Drew Romo, two of the Rockies’ prized prospects, were sent down to minor league camp on Tuesday.They impressed, big-time, during spring training but they still have a lot of tuning up before they are big-league-ready.When reporters asked manager Bud Black if either player could make their big-league debuts this season, Black answered: “I could potentially see it happen. But both of those guys have a number of things to take care of, to clean up, to polish, for sure. But their skill level can compete at the major league level.”Black added that both Veen and Romo are not ready to be consistent, everyday major league players.“Are they equipped to play 30, 40, 60, 100 games? I don’t know. Not right now. That’s why they are in the minors,” Black said.In 20 Cactus League games, Veen slashed .271/.314/.375 with one home run, two doubles and eight stolen bases.

When our conversation turned to roads less traveled, David Carle clearly did not give a fork.“Flattering?”Is it flattering, I’d asked, when folks whisper that the DU hockey coach, with two Frozen Fours and an NCAA national championship on his resume by the age of 33, is NHL material?To this, a ginger eyebrow raised quizzically. Those sea-blue eyes narrowed into a salty squint.“Flattering?” Carle replied, chewing on the premise like a piece of rotten fruit. “I don’t know. I don’t know how to answer that.”From the heart, ideally. Surely it crossed your mind, back in the day?“Yeah, I mean, maybe when I got into coaching (initially),” Carle told me in November just outside the home locker room at Magness Arena, from which his 30-9 Pioneers departed Tuesday for the NCAA men’s regionals in Manchester, N.H.“But I felt like getting the Green Bay assistant job (in 2012) was my dream job at the time. And then getting back here as an assistant coach happened way quicker than I ever thought it ...
