Renck: If any franchise deserved a Holliday from misery, it’s the Rockies. On pace for the worst record in modern MLB history, they were gift-wrapped slugger Ethan Holliday in Sunday’s draft. Projected to go first overall, he fell into Colorado’s lap with the fourth selection, making him an auto-pick given his family ties to the organization. Holliday is advanced for a prep player with his plus makeup, benefitting from a supportive mom and All-Star dad with Popeye forearms who taught him to hit. At 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, Ethan is built more like his father, Matt, than his brother Jackson.
