First of all, even if you consider yourself a die-hard fan who doesn’t “get the draft”, it probably isn’t your fault. Major League Baseball really doesn’t want fans to pay attention to it. It is similar to Wall Street, in that the less simple they can make it, the better it is for them.
For example, the NFL makes their draft one of their biggest events in their leagues year. They make a huge spectacle of the event. This year, the draft will be carried on ESPN, NFL Network, and Fox, and will eat up 3 days of Prime Time television.
