Three observations …
• If MLB wants to build interest in the draft, give it the spotlight. Schedule a leaguewide off day for the first day of the draft so all the attention will be focused on the draft.
• Speaking of the draft, six African-Americans were selected in the first round, the second most since 1992. This comes as baseball ponders why African-Americans made up only 8.5 percent of Opening Day rosters this year.
• Let's see. The Angels have traded Mike Napoli (left), Patrick Corbin and Jean Segura in recent seasons. That explains it.
… and two predictions
• Kohl Stewart will make his Twins debut in June 2017.
• The Rangers will take over first place in the AL West by July 4.
