	MLB Draft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baseball draft picks cannot be traded; however, if a first- or second-round draft pick signs with a different team as a free agent, and the former team had offered the player arbitration, then the player's former team is entitled to a draft pick during the "sandwich round" of next year's draft.
		Of the major sports drafts in North America, (i.e., professional basketball, baseball, football and hockey), the MLB Draft is the least followed by fans.
		Unlike the other drafts, which are held in a central theater-like setting amid massive publicity, the MLB Draft is held by conference call out of the public eye.

	Draft (sports) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Draft order in the NFL is determined in a reverse-record order (the previous season's worst team picking first, the Super Bowl winner picking last).
		The draft is held in November, with a pre-season draft in December.
		Other related forms of drafts are the expansion draft, in which a new team is allowed to pick a certain number of players from those of teams already in the league, and the dispersal draft, in which players contracted to a now-defunct team are allocated among the remaining ones.

		With fifty rounds, compared to two for the NBA and six for the NFL, the MLB draft is far too big for all but the most fanatical fans to follow.

		Any draft-eligible player who is not drafted becomes a free agent and is allowed to sign with the team of their choosing.
		The minor league Rule 5 draft is primarily a roster-filling exercise and players taken rarely reach the major leagues, not to mention establish themselves as big-league players.
		Once a team has acquired a draft pick by losing a Type A free agent, it cannot lose said pick by signing other Type A free agents; the only picks a team may lose are the ones which it had before the free agency period began.

	Dissect Draft
		The 2001 draft crop does have a few players that can legitimately effect the makeup of the current 25-man and 40-man rosters, thus, with the first pick we must consider the ramifications of adding a talent that can possibly have very immediate impact on the Major League team.
		After our scouts have turned in their final draft lists and we have our meetings, we proceed to rank all players that we have in for the upcoming draft.
		I think the entire purpose of the draft is to select guys where you need to, in order to get them, whether it is in the first or second rounds or as late as the 35th or 36th rounds.

	Not That You Asked With Blair Lybbert
		The recent June baseball draft is just another example of baseball staying with a system that has woefully failed to meet its goal of improving competitive balance in the sport.
		There are many, many rules governing the draft, but the concept was to allow the teams with the worst records the previous season to draft amateur talent before the better teams selected their choices.
		Currently, MLB strictly forbids trading the picks prior to the draft and, indeed, for a full year after the prospect has signed with the club.

		A player who is drafted and does not sign with the club that selected him may be drafted again at a future year's draft, so long as the player is eligible for that year's draft.
