Rockies cull from college ranks on Day 2

Here's a look at the next five picks:

Round 6: LHP Jack Wynkoop, South Carolina: Wynkoop, the Gamecocks' junior ace, went 8-5 with a 3.27 ERA and 86 strikeouts against 14 walks in 104 1/3 innings this season. The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C., reported that Wynkoop was chosen later than expected, but he is likely to sign.

Wynkoop took to Twitter.
