Question:
Answers:
Are the toronto blue jays finished? first ryan, now! holladay is out!?
Because the MLB Draft has so many rounds, and the players dont even get to play in the MLB for at least 1-2 years after they get drafted, and they may not even end up playing for the team they got drafted by, due to trades and stuff. I dont know anything about the NHL draft, so I couldnt tell you.mainly because college hockey and baseball are not very popular and most people are not familiar with most of the players being drafted.
Will Papelbon get to face A-Rod?
Because even after the MLB and NHL drafts many of the players do not play for the teams right away. Also in MLB if a player gets drafted and doesnt like the team that drafted him then he can just not sign and he gets thrown back into the draft pool the following year. In the NHL many of the draft picks play in the AHL or another independent hockey league before they make their appearance in the pros. So unlike the drafts of the NBA and NFL the players are not usually an immediate help to a franchise so not as many fans are interested in these drafts.Because both MLB and NHL have a really developed minor league system in place. The majority of players drafted spend several years in the minors before the get their ticket to the show stamped.
minor leagues most of the players are highschool that you neevr heard of and after they draft him he wont help the team for a couple years
Baseball fans.. Are you going to opening day?
because those 2 leagues have huge developmental programs and players drafted tend to disappear into the minor leagues for many years before they get a shot at the Bigs, if they get that far.What is the difference between loge seats and box seats at a baseball game? Which are better?

Who's more important to the Yankees, A-Rod or Roger Clemens?
The MLB and NHL drafts are not as popular because the players coming up aren't as widely publicized like in NCAA basketball and NCAA football. Both the NCAA Tournament for Basketball and the BCS for Football are so widely publicized and the players are talked about more.The NCAA Frozen Four is taking place in St. Louis this weekend at the Scottrade Center. How many of you can name players or the teams that are in it without looking it up? The college level sports for baseball and hockey aren't the same as football and basketball.
In football and basketball the draft can affect the pro team either that year or the next. The drafts otherwise in other pro sports don't matter directly as much or matter as fast to the pro teams.
Because NFL and NBA draftees all play on the teams in the upcoming season and have an imidiate impact.
What's the big deal about Matsuzaka facing Ichiro?
MLB: First, there's a ton of rounds. Second, there are sooo many different places drafted players come from, it's way too hard for the common fan to track. Do you know the High School player of the year in California or Texas? Probably not, but MLB scouts doNHL: Tragically plain and simple: nobody cares about hockey anymore. It's a dying sport. This kid Crosby in Pittsburgh may be the best of all time when his career is over, and nobody will care.
College baseball/minors and college hockey are not showcased in this country like college football and college basketball which are huge in this country.

Two words: MINOR LEAGUES.No one cares about the minors. They just want to see the big boys. Why do you think the NFL draft is so widely watched? You got it! No minor leagues in football. They take too many rounds and it takes too long for those players to get to the show, if they even get to the show.
