2009 Draft LiveBlog: Day One

The draft broadcast starts at 6pm on MLB Network (simulcast on MLB.com), and will run until 8:30 or so. From what I understand, the first round will be televised, then coverage for the remaining rounds will jump over to MLB.com. In all, 111 picks will be made tonight, covering the first through supplemental third round. The Yanks will be making just two selections (#29 & #76) tonight while the Diamondbacks lead the way with eight picks.

Use this as your open thread to talk about all things draft. We’ll have a regular game thread along a little bit later on for you to talk about the Yanks and Sawx. Please follow our ground rules and keep your conversations in the appropriate places. Thanks in advance.
