It's cool that this is on TV (MLB Network), but they shouldn't have scheduled it at 6 PM with a full schedule of games including Sox/Yanks if they wanted people to watch. I probably won't watch unless there's rain in Boston, but I'll be following it. I'm hoping Strasburg isn't taken first just to stick it to Boras, but he probably will be.

Honestly, a Nationals fan should have started this thread. They have the #1 pick. Of course Devil started the thread first.
How does someone else announcing draft picks next year sound? Is that something you might be interested in?
