Draft Day: Open thread for rounds 1-2

The 2013 amateur draft begins tonight at 7 p.m., but I'm posting this at 6 p.m. for any of you who are tuning in to MLB Networks pre-show. I'm not entirely sure what the pre-show will entail, but my guess is that Harold Reynolds will be gleefully comparing every black prospect to Ken Griffey, Jr., every Latino prospect to Alex Rodriguez, and every pitching prospect who can't throw over 90 to Greg Maddux.

The draft will last three days, with just round one, the weird "competitive balance" round, and then the second round happening tonight. The Orioles will pick at #22 in the first round, #37 in the sandwich round, and at #61 in round two. You can see the complete draft order here. If you are only interested in what the Orioles do, please note that their first pick is expected to take place at approximately 9 p.m. Their third pick will be at about 10:45. I don't know when the second pick will be so stop bugging me.

You can follow along with the draft on MLB Network or by streaming it on MLB.com. If you want to get a feel for who will be drafted tonight, check out MLB.com's top 100 list of potential draftees.

Feel free to chat about the picks here (and/or make fun of Bud Selig). I'll update this page with the picks as they are made unless I have to go eat dinner or do something else more exciting.

Even if you won't be following the draft closely, be sure to stick close to Camden Chat tonight as we will be posting information on all three draft picks. We'll follow that with quotes and reactions from the Orioles Director of Scouting, Gary Rajsich, straight from his conference call at 11:00 p.m.
