Question: The Major League Baseball Draft is the process by which organization, their teams select athletes to play for their organization, as opposed to the National Football League Draft which appeared on ESPN, no network aired the MLB Draft?

 High school seniors, college juniors and seniors, and anyone who had never played under a professional contract were considered eligible for the draft.  The 1987 MLB Draft took place as a conference call to the Commissioner of Baseball's office in New York from June 2–4.  As opposed to the National Football League Draft which appeared on ESPN, no network aired the MLB Draft. The Major League Baseball Draft is the process by which Major League Baseball (MLB) teams select athletes to play for their organization. <SEP> The Houston Astros, originally called the "Colt .45s", are a Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise based in Houston, Texas.  They play in the American League West division.  Since the institution of Major League Baseball's Rule 4 Draft, the Astros have selected 56 players in the first round.  Officially known as the "First-Year Player Draft", the Rule 4 Draft is Major League Baseball's primary mechanism for assigning amateur baseball players from high schools, colleges, and other amateur baseball clubs to its franchises.  The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, and the team that had the worst record receives the first pick.  In addition, teams which lost free agents in the previous off-season may be awarded compensatory or supplementary picks.  The First-Year Player Draft is unrelated to the 1961 expansion draft in which the Astros initially filled their roster. <SEP> The Rule 5 draft is a Major League Baseball player draft that occurs each year in December, at the annual Winter Meeting of general managers.  The Rule 5 draft aims to prevent teams from stockpiling too many young players on their minor league affiliate teams when other teams would be willing to have them play in the majors.  The Rule 5 draft is named for its place in Major League Rules.  (It is sometimes erroneously referenced with a Roman numeral.)  The June Rule 4 draft, known as simply "the draft", "amateur draft", or "first year player draft", is a distinctly different process in which teams select high school and college players. <SEP>  It serves as the league's most common source of player recruitment.  The basic design of the draft is that each team is given a position in the drafting order in reverse order relative to its record in the previous year, which means that the last place team is positioned first.  From this position, the team can either select a player or trade their position to another team for other draft positions, a player or players, or any combination thereof.  The round is complete when each team has either selected a player or traded its draft position.  Certain aspects of the draft, including team positioning and the number of rounds in the draft, have seen revisions since its first creation in 1936, but the fundamental methodology has remained the same.  Currently the draft consists of seven rounds. The National Football League Draft, also called the player selection meeting, is an annual event in which the National Football League (NFL) teams select eligible college football players.  The original rationale in creating the draft was to increase the competitive parity between the teams as the worst team would, ideally, have chosen the best player available.
