Everyone's favorite crapshoot gets underway on Monday, as Major League Baseball's First-year Player Draft begins with the first of a mind-numbing 40 rounds that will take place over three days.
You have to credit MLB for trying to generate some excitement around this event, but really, outside of a select group of baseball nerds, does anyone really care who their team is going to pick in Round 1, let alone Round 40?And by the way, by the time your team does take someone that late, it's all done over conference call at rapid pace. And trust me, it's someone you never heard of and more likely than not will never hear from again.For a look at some of those future stars check out The Sports Network's MLB Draft package here http://goo.gl/8ikzZYou want a draft overview for your favorite team?
