2008 DRAFT PREVIEW
Daily Schedule

Perfect Game Crosschecker plans extensive coverage of the June 5-6 draft, complete with regular updates on the elite prospects, comprehensive rankings and scouting reports on hundreds of top prospects, extensive regional and state-by-state coverage, Daily Top 10’s and columns by the Crosschecker staff, led by PG draft experts David Rawnsley and Allan Simpson.

We’ll begin our formal coverage on Thursday, May 1, though Top 10 has a draft theme and we’ll provide you with an early sneak preview of the nation’s top 100 junior college prospects. Our coverage will continue through the draft—and our draft experts will actually be part of the live draft-day coverage on ESPN and mlb.com.

Though we’ll have a significant amount of free content on the PG Crosschecker website, our highest-priority draft preview content will be available only to PG Crosschecker subscribers and we’ve noted the subscriber level needed to access the content.
