The 2012 MLB Draft takes place on Monday and the Arizona Diamondbacks will be hoping to make a splash. The three-day event runs through Wednesday, but the first round on Monday will naturally be the main event.
As one of the few drawbacks of being the reigning National League West champions, the Diamondbacks will have one of the lower picks in the first round. They hold the No. 26 overall pick, but luckily the talent pool is quite deep this year. Some teams, such as the Los Angeles Angels, will be without first-round picks this year, so the D-backs can consider themselves lucky.
