Hey! The MLB Draft is going to be televised on ESPN2!
Isn't that... the most boring thing you could ever think of?
Let's see -- nobody follows amateur baseball the way they follow amateur football or basketball. The teams are not able to trade draft picks. The draft order is set randomly. Players who are drafted get to report to the A ball affiliates.
Who will be the MLB version of Mel Kiper, Jr?
While this is a good idea to bring attention to the MLB draft, I have the feeling that this will be very very boring. The NFL draft has so much chatter and balderdash to begin with, can you imagine what the 50 round, 30 team MLB draft will be like?
