I know I'm beating a dead, dead horse here, but the NBA Draft tonight PROVES that MLB could do a televised draft if they wanted to. Every objection is killed by tonight -

"But baseball draftees are years away!" Yeah, and we just saw Shawn Livingston go at #4 and a number of other high schoolers that will likely never do anything will go in the first round (at high cost).

"But we don't know these guys!" Yeah, and I'm betting you don't know Pavel Podkolzine, Beno Udrih, or even the lower-level high schoolers. More baseball fans know Jered Weaver than they will whoever the #12 pick is tonight.

Heck, just a draft blog would be an improvement. That said, Jonathon Mayo did a great job on the webcast of the baseball draft. Maybe they're just way ahead of the curve.

(The kid that left after his frosh year at Stanford's favorite class is listed as "Art History 101". That sounds like a bogus class to me, but it IS Stanford.)

Finally, baseball needs a Mark Cuban in the worst way. Or at least a Gavin Maloof ... hmmmm.
