Colorado Rockies first round pick Brendan Rodgers: 'Things couldn't be any better'

The Colorado Rockies first round draft pick -- and third overall pick of the 2015 MLB Draft -- shortstop Brendan Rodgers is young.

There was no shortage of nonsense about how his selection affects Troy Tulowitzki (hint: Drafting Brendan Rodgers doesn't affect Troy Tulowitzki any more than my beard does), but the reality is that for all the talent, for all the hype, and for all the polish this 18-year old has, the road ahead of him is long and winding.

And that is saying something considering the rollercoaster ride he has been on just to get where he is now.
