Hey everybody, it’s Draft Day!
Wait, you forgot that MLB decided to turn this into an amusement park week ... beginning on a Sunday (?), now combining Futures Game, Home Run Contest, All-Star Game and MLB Draft all into three days. It’s the first time since the amateur draft began in 1965 that the baseball draft has occurred outside of the month of June.
The draft begins tonight, at 6 p.m. CT (an hourlong preview on MLB Network begins at 5 p.m. CT). The first round will be broadcast on MLB Network and ESPN. With four minutes between picks, the White Sox should be selecting around 7:30 p.
