The Colorado Rockies got a gift on draft night. Sitting at pick No. 4, they had whom many people consider to be the best player in this year's class fall to them, adding prep standout Ethan Holliday whose family knows a thing or two about this franchise.

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.
