Expand I'm not a fan of this class. Konnor Griffin is my preference because he has the most upside in the class. I'd be fine with Montgomery or Wetherholt as quick movers though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted July 1, 2024 Share Posted July 1, 2024 That's what I'm afraid of. Really need Colorado to take a pitcher that way they only need 3 teams to be really dumb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Collazo was a guest on a pod I was listening to this am was saying how he thinks Rockies may be more prone to go Burns because it’s so hard to get FA SP to come and pitch in that thin Colorado air.

Expand They took pitchers the last two years (though the Hughes pick looks awful) so you can definitely see them keeping that trend going.

Boopa1219 Posted July 1, 2024 Share Posted July 1, 2024 The Rockies have started to realize that they should draft the best player available and not the player who projects to be a fit for Coors, which is how they made decisions for the longest time. A pick this high, they do need to draft the top arm because of how hard it is to sign pitchers there in FA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 Yeah it’s definitely a bad draft. The guys at the top are fine but it’s thin on high school position players. Really lacks HS talent and shortstops. The prep pitching class is really good but that’s frightening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted July 2, 2024 Share Posted July 2, 2024 I think it fits well where they are as an organization. The vast majority of their top pitchers are in the upper minors so it will be good to get some HS arms to start filling up the lower minors. I don't know how many but I think they're gonna use at least a few of their top picks (2-7) on pitching and likely HS pitching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
