1st ROUND

Bud Selig is kicking this Draft off, I dislike this guy with a passion...he angers me, but that story is for another time...let's get to the first pick.

Today I'm going to be live blogging the first ever MLB draft that is being shown nationally, I'm still trying to think of a reason why i'm live blogging it other than for shits and giggles. But anyways, I'll be your stop for all the drafting shenanigans today.
