Colin Moran has talent and pedigree to be among top MLB Draft picks

Posted Jun 6, 2013
His uncle was a No. 1 overall draft pick and his brother was an All-American. So it’s easy to see B.J. Surhoff and Brian Moran’s accomplishments at North Carolina and assume that Tar Heel junior Colin Moran was fated to be one of the first players selected in today’s MLB First-Year Player Draft (7 p.m., MLB Network). Sure enough, Moran is listed as the sixth-best prospect by MLB.com. (Durham Herald-Sun)
