The MLB Draft begins tonight. We’ll have an open thread tonight for the session. I’m taking time off work to be available for the draft, so look for a new post, Monday through Wednesday, as proceedings are ready to begin. With the value of “cost-controlled talent” at an all-time high, these 40 rounds are a prime chance to get quality talent at virtually no cost.
The MLB June Draft (officially the “Rule 4 Draft”) consists of 40 rounds. The Cubs will draft 42 players, and be represented on Opening Night by Andre Dawson and Keronn Walker, who is a first-year scout for the Cubs and Chicago-area native.
