- Tomorrow night at 7:00 P.M. EST the draft will kick off with just the first round and first round compensation round only. The first round will be televised tomorrow night by MLB Network (coverage starts at 6:00 P.M. EST), but MLB.com will be carrying the draft live on-line all three days.

- There will be several minutes between selections for the first round because of TV, but for rounds 2-50 the picks will come fast and as furious as always via conference call.
- Here are the overall placements of the Indians' picks through the first ten rounds: 5, 55, 87, 120, 150, 180, 210, 240, 270, 300.

I think on tuesday and wednesday night you mean rounds rather than picks. I know this but it might confuse some people.
It is confusing, but I'm pretty sure he means picks. We have the 5th pick, and then the 55th pick, etc. There are only 50 rounds, total.
