The Colorado Rockies have been struggling with their draft and develop strategy, particularly when it comes to their first-round picks. With only one first-round selection since 2015, Brendan Rodgers, managing to accumulate a WAR of 1.0 or more, it raises some serious questions about the team's scouting and development processes.
As fans, we often look to the draft as a beacon of hope for the future of our teams. But what happens when that hope is repeatedly dashed? The Rockies have had 17 first-round picks in the last decade, yet only five have made their MLB debuts with the team. This leads us to ponder: Is it time for the Rockies to rethink their approach to the draft?
Bold prediction: If the Rockies don't start seeing significant contributions from their recent first-round picks, they could find themselves in a prolonged rebuilding phase that could last for years.
What do you think? Are the Rockies' struggles a result of poor scouting, or is it a failure in player development? How can they turn this trend around? And for those who have followed the Rockies closely, do you have any personal experiences or insights into how the team can better utilize their draft picks?
Let’s dive into this discussion and explore the future of the Rockies and their draft strategy!
