Why don't they televise the MLB draft like they do with football and basketball?
I understand that football only has 8 rounds and basketball only has two, as compared to the 40 rounds for MLB, but you'd think they might at least televise the first two to three rounds anyway.

Yeah he was the first player from the SEC taken. Did anyone happen to see where any Ole Miss' players have gone?***
Yeah I just found it but it's not the spectacle that the other drafts are and is
not on a major channel.
not on a major channel.
This is the first draft where I have ever just hoped that someone attached to State does NOT get drafted. Yes, I am looking at you, Cord.
The fact that he completely ruins the Home Run Derby is more than enough Berman in baseball.
Post of the day.
Can't help being excited about the baseball weekend coming up. We've definitely got some game to bring to the stadium that we might as well give Thomas Jefferson credit for designing. UVA is a stupendous campus in an awe-inspiring area of America. I know the State fans who make the game will not regret the trip.

1. The MLB is behind every other sport as far as fan interaction. Every sport. Bud is an old fart. For the #1 pick tonight he came out and accidentally read "With the first pick of the 2000 amateur draft..." The best thing the MLB could do to become more visible is tell Bud "Thanks for your contributions to baseball's highest level, but we need you to retire next week." Immediately following that they need to hire anyone from the NFL's brass and begin drawing in the next generation, something the NFL has a PhD in.
2. The MLB draft sucks. The NFL draft is popular because people like us glue ourselves to our recliners with our best friends and a ton of beer to hopefully see guys we idolize on saturdays for 4 years move onto starring on sundays, whether it's MSU guys or players at Alabama we hope go to our favorite NFL team. Exposure. Same to a smaller extent for the NBA draft. Half of the guys drafted in the 1st round tonight were high schoolers. How exciting is that? To take it a step farther, outside of MSU and a couple other schools, who cares about college baseball? Even at MSU where baseball players or that of legend its 3rd fiddle to football and basketball. It's even less appealing when you think that a grand total of like 2% of baseball players ever make the majors. It's a wasted investment to watch.
That being said, I watched it tonight. Picks 1-13. I watched the entire 1st round last year waiting on Stratton's name to be called. Next time an MSU player is expected to go in the first round I'll do the same. I did it because I'm a fan and wanted to see first hand where he went, but watching it was the most miserable hour of my life. Every player on there is "the best player I've seen in 10 years" and "the best in the draft at [insert ******** category]." I had never heard of any of them and I consider myself pretty well educated in college baseball.
