MLB Draft 2012 Live Stream: Online Viewing Info and More for Day 2
Just because the first round is complete doesn't mean all of the MLB draft suspense is over until next year. There's still plenty to look forward to on Day 2.
And we have 14 entire rounds to get through on Tuesday, so be sure that there's a lot of excitement on the horizon.
Just because a player wasn't selected on Day 1 of the MLB draft doesn't mean he's worthless. In fact, going in the first round means essentially nothing; it doesn't even mean a player is assured of being all that good. The MLB draft is one big guessing game where some teams have the kind of personnel that is better at guessing than others.

Best Remaining Players
Ty Buttrey, RHP, Providence Senior HS (N.C.)
Rated as the No. 35 overall prospect by MLB.com, Buttrey isn't going to last long on Day 2 before he's swooped off the board. The high school righty is the perfect size at 6'5", and he can reach the mid-90s on the radar gun—a scary prospect, considering his talent is still very raw and he has a high ceiling. That, in itself, is likely to have some team biting early in the second round.
In addition to his heater, Buttrey also has a good curveball and a changeup that still needs a lot of work, but should develop into a decent pitch.
Alex Wood, LHP, Georgia
The sophomore has a lot of velocity on his fastball—he regularly lingers around the mid-90s—and he's been able to stay successful in the ultra-competitive world of the SEC, so he's likely to get plucked off the board early. He's 6'4" and is as athletic as they come, and he's working with two pitches in addition to his fastball: a below-average changeup and a decent curve.
Wood probably didn't go in the first round because his command is still iffy, especially for a college sophomore, but he has a lot of potential.
Adam Brett Walker, 1B/OF, Jacksonville
He may not have major-league pedigree, but he has the toughness of an NFL running back in his blood: His dad, Adam, played football professionally. At 6'5" and 222 pounds, Walker looks like a future corner-infield slugger, but he hasn't been able to get there yet, even as a junior.
Time seems to be running out for him, but given his raw power and his physical build, a team is definitely going to take a chance on him sooner in the second or third round. Defensively, his arm strength needs a lot of improvement as well.
