The 2016 MLB First-Year Player (Rule 4) Draft begins tonight, and the Colorado Rockies will be picking three times on the first day. Here is what you need to know about this potentially franchise-changing, a three-day event for the Rockies.
The Rockies have four of the top 81 picks including the fourth overall pick in the draft, it is the fifth consecutive year they own a top-10 pick and the club has drafted in the top five in three of the past four drafts. 41 of the 51 players taken at four have made the majors, most notably Barry Larkin, Dave Winfield, Kevin Brown, Kerry Wood and Ryan Zimmerman.
