The Colorado Rockies have long touted their commitment to a draft and develop philosophy, but recent years have raised serious questions about the effectiveness of this strategy. With a dismal track record in both the draft and international scouting, fans are left wondering: can the Rockies truly turn things around?

The Rockies' international academy in the Dominican Republic is considered one of the best, yet the results have been underwhelming. Over the last decade, only a handful of international signings have made a significant impact at the major league level. With 71.4% of their international signings failing to even reach A-level ball, is it time for the Rockies to rethink their approach?

Ezequiel Tovar stands out as a beacon of hope, showcasing the potential that can come from their international efforts. But can one success story overshadow a decade of mediocrity? What changes need to be made to ensure that the Rockies can consistently develop talent from their international classes?

Moreover, with the Rockies' recent signings and the potential of players like Cole Carrigg, is there a light at the end of the tunnel? Are we witnessing the beginning of a new era for Rockies baseball, or are we simply setting ourselves up for disappointment once again?

Let’s dive into this discussion! What are your thoughts on the Rockies' scouting and development strategies? Do you believe they can turn their fortunes around, or is it time for a complete overhaul? Share your predictions and insights!
