You think yesterday was a long day, with 202 players selected? Today there will be well over 1,000 more players picked, over about 40 more rounds. Just like I tend to dork out over marginal major leaguers will little chance of sticking, this is the part of the draft that I really like. Not that I know much about many of the players, but if you look at what an organization does over 45 picks, you get a much better idea of their philosophy than you do from day 1 alone.
Also, I went to every game at the D3 World Series last month, and a few of the players who starred there are likely to be chosen today. If that isn't exciting, I don't know what is.
The coverage starts today at 10:30 CT ...I'm not sure whether that means that the punditry starts then or pick #203 is right at 10:30. I don't know how long it will last, but I'm guessing it will take us all the way to game time.
A few links to keep you in the know:

Also, if you're just catching up, there are tons of links to coverage of our draftees in the two draft threads from yesterday. Just scroll down.
Go Jack Z!
