It is the day before the 2013 MLB Amateur draft and I guess you can say that all is quiet before the storm. All MLB teams draft boards are set and so are the boards for the agencies. Final calls are being conducted to our prospects to make sure that they understand what to expect over the next three days. 7 Sports Group does not have any prospects projected to go the first day of the draft. The first day of the MLB Amateur draft only includes the first round. The first day of the draft is televised on the MLB Network and possible first round draft picks have been invited to New York to be a part of the televised portion of draft. Players invited to the first day of the draft were notified a month prior to ensure that the players chosen in the first round are present for interview. The importance of the first day of the draft for agencies is to see each teams first pick, which will determine how the rest of the draft will play out. If a team picks a player who is thought to sign for less than the slotted amount, then agencies can plan on negotiating more for their players who are chosen later in the draft. This means that teams will have extra cash to offer other players in the draft. Based on how the first day of the draft goes will help determine where 7 Sports Group’s prospects may be chosen. This helps by allowing the agency to be prepared and help manipulate one of our prospects into a higher round.
