Draft Day

So the New Year is upon us and January is flying by.  We are 33 days away from pitchers and catchers.  It is a good time to start speculating about Draft Day/Time.  I would like to get this nailed down early so that those who choose to travel can make their arrangements.  My initial thought is that the two best weekends are FRI-SAT, March 18-20 or March 25-27.  Opening Day is March 31st this season, so we those are the final two weekends in March before the draft.

Please post your comments.

....and yes Joey, this one is for real.
