GM,
just some background on others posting in this thread:
TPM's son was a high pick, very high, from Clemson;
njbb's sound was a 6th/7th rounder out of HS and is now at the AAA level;
20dad's son was a higher pick out of HS who had TJ;
Dad04's son was a terrific college pitcher...terrific Rajun Cajun.
justbaseball had one son who would have been a very high pick, except he was committed to Stanford..now in AA, with a younger son headed to the Pac10 in the Fall.
I know my hope is to provide a breadth of experience to those who post about the draft and what it means, and what comes after.
I really respect those who post in this thread. They truly have experience, from the player/parent side, are very knowledgeable, and truly want to help. We are not scouts. We don't evaluate players.
But, for parents, I expect those who post here have some pretty darn practical knowledge of what happens once the scouts put the rating on players.
