Reply to "Dilemma..Newbie with a drafted son?"

obxer...43rd round rhp...should get about $1,000.00; plane ticket to a short season team; and, a couple of coupons for a McDonald's Happy Meal.

If they haven't talked with you and cut a deal with you already, the money is not going to be there.

Take the college experience and tuition now.

My son played at Mississippi State...couldn't wait to get drafted...got drafted in the 8th round...bounced around the minors for a few years; and, "blew off" the money that they had set aside for him to finish his college education.

In 1993, if you didn't start using your money within 2 years after you were released, YOU LOST YOUR MONEY!

Tell your son to go to college.

One of the websters, who is a Major League Scouting Supervisor, had a son who was drafted in the later rounds; and, he's going back to finish his senior year. No significant money in the later rounds unless you were passed by in the first few rounds as "unsignable" and for some reason you had a significant change of heart or your favorite team was now interested in you.

Take the "emotion" out of it....Send him packing to college.
