Tonight on the Front Porch, we're talking about the draft -- the baseball draft, that is. The white-knuckle season is over for hopeful baseball draftees, and six New Hampshire players are headed for the pros. We'll talk with a Franklin Pierce College grad who's swinging the bat for the Red Sox down in Lowell, and we'll find out how deep scouts go in determining the psychological make-up of a potential big leaguer.

We'll talk with:

Cecilia Tan, baseball guru and co-author of The 50 Greatest Red Sox Games

Mike Chambers, second baseman from Londonderry who recently signed with the Red Sox after finishing college at Franklin Pierce.

Pete Foley, attorney and adjunct professor of Sports Law at Franklin Pierce Law Center
