I'm Jonathan Mayo and I've been toiling for MLB.com since April 1999. Each year, we get bigger and better at covering the draft. This blog is part of the next step in expanding our coverage. As I get information about how the draft is taking shape, you'll read about it here first. My son, Ziv, will be eligible for the draft in 2017, though I'm already telling scouting directors he'll be a tough sign because I'd like him to get a college education first...

Prospects, dizzy bat races, politics (which one of these is not like the other?)
