MLB Draft Preview: Day 1

This Tuesday, the MLB First Year Player Draft will take place. On Tuesday, the MLB Network will cover the draft from 5-7:30 CT. After that, MLB.com will have Live coverage for the rest of the draft. Tomorrow I will take a look at the Cubs draft history, but right now let's take a look at some notes for this year's Cubs draft:
  • Cubs MLB.com draft preview video.
  • Billy Williams will represent the team at the draft.
  • The Cubs first pick will be 31st overall.
  • The Cubs lost a supplemental round pick (44th overall) for signing Milton Bradley.
  • Here is the full first round order.
  • The Cubs are focusing on doing well deep in the draft according to Carrie Muskat.
  • The Single-A Short Season Boise Hawks will open their season June 20. A lot of the Cubs draft picks will go to Boise.

That's it for now, tomorrow our draft preview continues with a look at the Cubs Draft History, including updates on the guys they picked in recent years, and guys they could have had instead. On Wednesday I will have updates on the draft and a full Cubs Draft recap Thursday.

I'll keep you posted on the Draft!
