Today, the first day of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft, there's nothing else to think about. "[Today] will be the day where you start thinking about [the draft] a lot more," said junior Kyle Seager, a projected second-round pick. Several Tar Heels should have their names called in the draft. Juniors Dustin Ackley and Alex White could become UNC's first pair of top-10 selections. (Raleigh News & Observer)
