One of the ways in which the Indians have been able to build a stable base within the organization has been an improved return on investment from their top selections. They’ll look to continue that Thursday, when Major League Baseball begins its amateur draft.
The Indians hold the 14th overall pick in the first round, which begins at 7 p.m. and is being aired on MLB Network. They’ll make two additional picks Thursday night, as they also hold the 55th overall selection (second round) and the 72nd overall selection (competitive balance). Rounds 3-10 will be on Friday and rounds 11-40 will be completed on Saturday.
