MOD: Rockies

My thoughts heading into this... I'll try to go about the Rockies strategy as well as pick the best player I feel is left on the board. The Rockies have always drafted a mix of high school/college players in the first round and haven't really favored one or the other so I'll be doing the same. Anyways, on to the good stuff. As of now I'm looking at Josh Vitters, Mike Moustakas, Daniel Moskos, Ross Detwiler, and Jason Heyward for the Rockies first pick in the draft. At this point I'm not leaning towards any one of them. I figure two or three will at least be off the board at that point so that will narrow the list down.

As for the second round... again what's the best available. I might go high schooler in the second round. I'll list players later on as to who I'm considering at in each round. The Rockies have the 8th, 73rd, 103rd, 133rd, and the 163rd picks in the draft. Any suggestions would be nice.

Thank goodness it's time for the draft

Hello, thanks for being our "Scouting Director". This is my first post on this site, but I frequent purplerow.com quite a bit. We have just recently started discussing the upcoming draft over there. You might use that as a reference. There has been a lot of talk so far of Detwiler as the prefered choice in the first round, just so you know.

I think you are right about Bill Schmidt's best player available philosophy. It has really worked well for us in building up the farm system, and I look forward to him doing more of the same this year.
