[Rockies] 2013 MLB Draft - Rockies Edition

[Broncoholic3233]

Well, rounds 1 and 2 start tonight...now I know the draft isn't a big deal for most baseball fans...but when you have the 3rd overall pick...it is a little bit more exciting.

Cinnamunmun is MIA and likely the only one who would talk to me in this thread....but I'll just talk to myself if no one else chirps in.


A lot of mock drafts have us taking Kris Bryant, 3B/OF from San Diego. Big kid.... 6'6 215.

Austin Meadows is another name I know they've had us liking..but not sure we'd take him 3rd overall.

Appel and Gray are definitely options...but likely to fall 1 and 2....

Shipley another potential option.

It'll be interesting to see what happens...

What time does it start?

[Broncoholic3233]

6ET i think

I'll check to see who we took first but I won't watch the draft.

Baseball draft just isn't that exciting since a majority of players either pass on MLB or spend years in the minors.

I've read about Appel and Gray, read gray could be character issues. But like you said we likely get neither even though we need a can't miss pitching prospect.

But most likely whoever we draft I will forget about until they hit the Rockies level.

And when they do I won't remember they were drafted tonight.

Fingers crossed for Kris Bryant. He will be a great fit at 1st base in coors. Appel and Gray would be option 2 but, this organizations ability to develop pitchers has me nervous about them.

[Broncoholic3233]

We are on the clock..

[Atwnbroncfan]

BA! I hate you stupid Cubs

[Broncoholic3233]

Cubs take Kris Bryant...

[Broncoholic3233]

Gray it is it appears

[Atwnbroncfan]

Need to take Gray here then

[Broncoholic3233]

Rockies select Johnathan Gray, RHP, Oklahoma. Sweeeet

[Atwnbroncfan]

I'm surprised the Rockies didn't mess this one up

[Blondie79]

Not dissapointed with the pick

[Broncoholic3233]

Finally a POWER arm

[Atwnbroncfan]

I'd expect to see him in the majors in 2015
