In a perfect world, the Rockies will have Holliday manning shortstop and Kyle Karros, a fifth-round pick in the 2023 MLB draft out of UCLA shooting up their rankings, manning the hot corner to create a young, dynamic left side duo for years to come.

Colorado on Sunday selected 18-year-old Ethan Holliday — son of former Rockies star outfielder Matt Holliday — with the No. 4 overall pick in the MLB draft. Holliday, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound shortstop with power, was hardly a surprise pick entering the draft, as national draftniks universally had him coming to the team who drafted his father.
