The modern-day MLB amateur draft is full of picks and spans the course of three days, which must be the reason it's not covered nearly as much as the NFL and NBA drafts are.

It's hard to keep track of everyone who gets selected throughout the years. Some play out their careers in the minors, others bounce back-and-forth and then there are a few who manage to rise quickly into big league roles (and sometimes superstars). For that reason, we rarely discuss how things have played out because situations differ from one another and can change quite rapidly.
