MLB Draft 2018: A brief and uninstructive history for the Colorado Rockies

The Rockies have four picks in the top 100 of this year’s amateur draft, which begins tonight. While not all great to good non-international players are selected high in the draft, most of them are. Still, every year there are stars and good regulars selected among a bunch of guys who never contribute in the majors. This is particularly true after about pick number 10. The Rockies will add to the history of the 22nd, 42nd, 76th, and 96th pick over the next couple of days. The history of who came before doesn’t tell us whether or not the Rockies will draft a boom or a bust, but it’s still fun.
