In an effort to jazz up the draft, every MLB team is going to have a representative at the actual event.  What they’ll do, I don’t understand.  The Reds will have Senior Griffey (Special Consultant to the General Manager) and Jim Thrift (not listed on the Reds site or Baseball America’s database).

A lot of teams have their “household names” there:   Robin Roberts for the Phillies, Tommy Lasorda for the Dodgers, Jim Palmer for the O’s, Dave Winfield for the Padres, Strawberry for the Mets…

… and yeah, Barry Larkin will be representing the Nationals.  I don’t like that at all.
