As day three of the MLB draft dawns, there will actually be a little real excitement to be had early on, before the draft settles into its final, monotonous form, that of disembodied voices over a conference call announcing, “Redraft, number 550826, such and such player from such and such school,” with the name and often even the school being utterly anonymous to 99% of us, even those who really care about the draft.
However, for the first couple rounds today, rounds eleven and twelve, we may once again see some modestly exciting players selected. I say modestly because, as a Cardinal fan, there is very little chance I will hear my team call the names of any of the players I really, truly covet at this point, even with the post-tenth round uptick in excitement.
