If a player doesn’t receive any baseball money (with a handful of exceptions) the writing should be on the wall he’s a long shot. Even if he’s the 28th player on the team he’s not going to receive playing time. Chances are there are 7-10 players receiving 25% it’s not going to work out for. So why should a kid getting nothing believe he’s the outlier? The exception is the late blooming, fast rising, big velocity pitcher.
