ESPN recently announced that it will be televising the baseball entry draft on ESPN2 on Thursday, June 7th beginning at 2 p.m. The NFL and NBA have had live draft coverage on ESPN for years with much success. But can MLB match that success? Are baseball fans willing to sit around for four hours watching each team make their first-round selections?
According to ESPN SportsNation poll, nearly 80 percent of fans said they would not watch the MLB draft. It seems to me that fans have better things to do with their time than to watch the draft live — like watch an actual game.
