MLB Draft Open Thread: Rounds one and two, 6/9/16

Tonight begins the 2016 MLB amateur draft, with the first two rounds—and their respective competitive-balance rounds—occurring this evening. The Mets have the 19th overall pick in the first round with an assigned value of $2,378,800. They also have the 31st pick, compensation for losing Daniel Murphy to the Nationals. The assigned value of that pick is $1,972,100.
