Since the network’s coverage of the MLB draft fails in comparison to that of the NFL draft, the website will be providing updates on the draft in the form of breaking news coverage on their draft page.

Currently, ESPN has a host of draft-oriented pieces that will help you understand more of the eligible players. From blogs to Twitter feeds from the prospects themselves, ESPN’s coverage has it all.

Twitter will be one of your best sources for live coverage of the 2012 draft.

If you do not have a Twitter account, it’s easy to register and it’s also free. Plus, you can follow all 30 ball clubs, which will come in handy since draft updates will most likely be tweeted by their social media peeps.

You can even follow the draft on Twitter @MLBDraft and join in on the draft conversation by live-tweeting using #mlbdraft.
