There is no need to beat around the bush, the baseball draft is boring. Super boring. Mind numbing boring. I’m surprised any part of it is televised.

Its not that I don’t care, well. Not entirely that I don’t care. I understand the importance of restocking the farm system. I grasp that these prospects do in fact come from somewhere. But as far as that process is considered, lets face it, most of you don’t really give a damn. Sure, all six Andrews that write for this site, and that new guy all seem pretty excited. All giggly and giddy like school girls, making their predictions. Me, I couldn’t even name one college baseball player, and I know a guy who plays college baseball.

Here’s the thing. College football has all these long standing traditions (like Duke sucking), and old school rivalries. College basketball has March Madness and young phenoms that will go straight to the NBA after their freshman year. Baseball….seriously, can you watch college baseball without physically being at a game? I spent a good, lets call it five, years in college. Baseball games I attended: 0. I even went to more college hockey games. When push comes to shove, no one cares about college baseball. Which means, no one knows college baseball players. So basically, the draft to me is meaningless.

I don’t know Ike Davis or Brad Holt. I didn’t know who David Wright was till he joined the Mets organization. Anyone who gets drafted today most likely won’t be seen at Shea for at least two to three years. So who cares about all the hype, let Omar do his job and wake me up in two years when its time to misspell their names in posts.

If next year they expect me to get all excited, I expect the draft to be exciting. Maybe they can wear really ugly suits, Jalen Rose style. That sometimes makes the NBA draft worth watching. Do they have a draft room? Can we watch top prospects cry when they keep getting skipped over, then end up signed by Kansas City? I promise all of you one thing, I will never write about or watch the draft ever again, until it becomes un boring. Starting….now.
