Day 2 of the 2012 MLB Draft came and went yesterday. The Indians made 14 selections and were split right down the middle selecting seven high school players and seven college players. Tony recaps the day with tons of quotes from Director of Amateur Scouting Brad Grant on several of their picks and their strategy with their picks, provides several comments from scouts outside the organization, and gives his insight into the draft with the Indians strategy and what he likes and maybe dislikes about what they have done so far.
With their 15th round pick in the 2012 MLB Draft the Cleveland Indians select catcher Nelson Rodriguez out of George Washington High School in New York City.
