I agree. Fans want to see who their teams are selecting. It's the start of the fan relationship with those new players. Some fans want that to be in person. Those that aren't in person don't want to suffer through embarrassing interviews with other teams and hosts talking over their own teams selections. It was an awful presentation this year and the fact they've already decided its what they're doing next year after all the complaints is telling.
