Colorado Rockies look to add talent through 2015 MLB Draft

The Rockies have the third, 27th, 38th and 44th picks in the first couple of rounds of the 2015 MLB Draft.

That gives them nearly as many top 50 picks as they had between the years 2005-2008. In three of those years the Rockies were a bottom-eight team in MLB. In fact, in the non-Troy Tulowitzki division, all the players the Rockies signed combined for 2.3 rWAR (though this number would have been greatly helped if 2007 21st rounder Chris Sale had signed). The last time the Rockies had four top 60 picks was 2009 -- the year they ended up with Tyler Matzek, Tim Wheeler, Rex Brothers and Nolan Arenado -- and they have never had 4 top 50 picks before this year.
