2007 MLB Draft

The 2007 MLB Amateur Draft will be held on Thursday June 7th and Friday June 8th. In past years, the MLB Draft was held on the Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s but it is one of the several changes they have made for this year.

For the first time ever, the MLB Amateur Draft will be broadcast live on TV. The plan is to have the First Round and ‘Sandwich’ Pick Round on TV on June 7th. Rounds 1 through 5 will be on the 7th, with rounds 6 through 50 taking place on the June 8th.

All Drafts picks have until August 15th to come to terms with the MLB Team that drafted them. The new ‘universal signing date’ replaces the ‘draft and follow’ process this year. In the past, teams held the rights to players attending Junior College until the following spring.
