The MLB Wakes Up And Televises Its Entry Draft 

Posted on May 07 in MLB Players, MLB Teamsby Darren HeitnerPrint Share

Summer interns rejoice! No longer will you have to sit for two whole days in front of a computer screen, tracking pick after pick to see where your agency’s baseball players are drafted. Instead, relax on the company couch and watch part (4 hours) of the MLB entry draft this June on ESPN2 [Coming this June: The MLB draft on TV].

I remember 3 years ago as I sat in the CS&E office, one browser window open with the MLBTv commentary, the other window displaying live scrolling updates of who got picked and to what team. It’s no NFL draft, but it still lasts long (up to 50 rounds worth of players!).

Hopefully I will be able to act as an actual agent this year instead of as an interested intern. We shall see if Dynasty has any players in this summer’s entry draft.
