Lo Ching-lung

Lo was signed out of high school by the Colorado Rockies for $1.4 million. He debuted as a professional in 2002 with the Casper Rockies, going 5–5 with a 4.95 ERA and .290 opponent average as the young man on the staff. Baseball America rated him as the number 13 prospect in the Pioneer League, between Jonathan Broxton and Ubaldo Jiménez among pitchers. They also ranked him as the number 14 Colorado prospect entering 2003. In 2003, the teenager had a 3–7, 2.85 record for the Tri-City Dust Devils. He tied for the Northwest League in losses but much of that came from poor run support as his club only scored 9 runs in his 7 defeats. He was 10th in the Northwest League in ERA. Baseball America ranked him as the 10th-best Northwest League prospect. Lo had a 4–3, 5.05 record for the 2004 Asheville Tourists.
