On Tuesday night, World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. (WWE) held a draft to decide which of its wrestling superstars would be featured on Monday Night RAW or Tuesday’s SmackDown Live. With the momentous draft that WWE called “one of the biggest nights in WWE history,” it got us to thinking about what would happen if the Colorado Rockies had an internal draft.

Think about it … what if the Rockies played during the regular season like they did in spring training, using a split squad at times? What would that team look like? Who would be selected to go on which side of the split?

It was a question we posed to five different Rockies fans. We asked them to give us their top five picks from the current Rockies squad … or they could even reach into the minors if they wanted to select a future Colorado player to have on their team.

We took the opinions of those five fans and combined them into a “draft order” for the top five picks. We even threw in a few of their comments so you could see why they made the choices they did.

With that in mind, here’s a look at who our five Rockies fans chose as the five Rockies they would start their new team with. See what you think about their selections. Some of them may surprise you…
