The two have known each other since Profar was a talented 11-year-old player in his native Curacao.“He really wanted me to come here, so I listened,” said Profar, who got some exhibition games under his belt in Arizona before joining the Rockies.

Profar played for Curacao in the Little League World Series in 2004 — the year Curacao won it — and also in 2005.“He ...
