Any relation to John Rocker?

Rocker's dad played football at Auburn and was recently fired as Georgia's defensive line coach.
I know it is too early to start the "watching the draft pick" thread, but the Reds have a pretty good shot at getting the #2 pick again (or #3 pick).
We are 2 games ahead of the Padres.
We are 4.5 games ahead of the Giants. It is reasonable to expect the Giants to play a lot better for the rest of the year.
The Reds rotation is in a shambles, and it is finally catching up to them after the good start they had.
It is going to be tough to catch the Phillies.. We are 7 games ahead of them. But we could catch the Giants and/or Padres.
I think we are going to be picking before #5.
Note: I realize I am responding late.. At the time, we were #5..

Kumar Rocker electric here at #PGNational. 95-98. 200 inning body. Freak athlete.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Really like Rocker, but I suspect he's going to be gone when the Reds draft, IMO.

Phillies last 10 games? 1-9, same as the Reds last ten games. The Phillies are...resilient in their being bad.

I believe that going into the last two games of last year the Reds were set up to draft 5th or 6th. Then the Reds lost twice and everyone else won once or twice and since the Reds had tiebreakers they jumped to #2. Things can change quickly. I wonder how happy everyone would be with the draft if the Reds had drafted 5th.
