A Well-Heeled MLB Draft?

Posted Jun 9, 2009
Dustin Ackley kept his attention on North Carolina's baseball season all through the weekend during NCAA Tournament play, but today he can be occupied with his professional future for at least 24 hours. Major-League Baseball will start its annual first-year player draft at 6 p.m. in Secaucus, N.J., and Ackley, UNC's first baseman, is expected to go quickly, possibly by the No. 2 pick.
