HOUSTON -- Neil Walker was 8 years old in 1994, when his hometown Pirates left the National League East and moved into the Central Division. He's too young to have memories of the club's epic battles against the Phillies and Mets in the 1970s, '80's and early '90's.

The topic will be part of Collective Bargaining Agreement talks between major-league owners and the players' union.

Recent cases of fraud and potential corruption involving the signing of baseball players in Latin America have cast new attention to the possibility of a worldwide draft in major league baseball. Increasingly, there is a call for baseball and its union to adopt an international draft in the next collective bargaining agreement in 2012 as a way to streamline and clean up the way players from outside North America are acquired, particularly in talent-rich places like the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. Moreover, supporters say a draft would provide an equal playing field among teams that recruit in Latin America.

Bud Selig has faced many challenges in nearly 13 years as baseball commissioner. The biggest issue facing Selig now is steroid use in baseball. He has initiated many changes to the collective bargaining agreement regarding steroids but critics have charged it is too little, too late. Thursday, Selig, 71, addressed major- league owners at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Pasadena and later spoke to reporters.
