MLB Draft televised for first time today

For the first time, the MLB Draft will be televised.  Apparently MLB is trying to get on the coattails of the NFL's success with the draft.  I personally hate all the hype around the NFL Draft, but I'm a huge baseball fan so I'll watch.  Will you?

By the way, the draft is on in just over 30 minutes (2 PM ET) on ESPN2.

I think they should leave the draft hoopla to the NFL.   If they are going to do it on live TV . .  .why on a Thrusday afternoon?

It's not like the NFL draft where you're sure to see these guys next year.  Many of these guys you'll never see again and if you do it often isn't for a few years while they prepare in the minors.
