MLB Welcomes two new teams to the fold
Today the Florida Marlins and Colorado Rockies filled out their rosters in an expansion draft that will allow the two teams to compete in the upcoming 1993 season.
The Rockies went with pitching first, selecting former Braves' farmhand David Nied with the first overrall selection, while the Marlins took former Bluejay outfielder Nigel Wilson with their first pick.
Both teams took different approaches to build their teams, and Rockies general manager Bo Vandy said he felt as though his team had been built into a group that might be able to compete right away.
