The Rockies scouts Southern California well; it's where scouting director Bill Schmidt was born and raised, and it's where special adviser Dave Snow is based. So with Peter Tago there at 47, the Rockies pounced on the athletic prep righthander. Tago was sitting 90-95 mph late in the spring, and is a great pick at No. 47. [Editor's note: This reflects a correction.]

The Tigers at No. 48 pop Chance Ruffin, son of Bruce, and have choice. He could start or relieve and was much better as a closer this year, where he was essentially the best reliever in the country. He's also just 6-foot-1, 185 pounds.
