This sounds racist(?) but I'm so happy to see so many black players being drafted early.

Baseball desperately needs blacks to come back towards the game. Hopefully with more stars in the pipeline... things will start happening!

wholeheartedly agree, and this might also sound racist, but this is the potential problem with the adjustment of the draft, inner city youth will not lean towards baseball over alternatives of basketball and football.  Baseball has always had problems getting natural athletes to choose baseball over the other big american sports, and these draft adjustments could further that.  As an inner city kid my entire life, it always pained me that more of the amazing athletes i grew up around never gave baseball a chance.
