bbscout,
I am sure you never tell any HS players that only 10 % of the minor leaguers ever play one day in the MLB. or 50 % of HS 1st rounders never reach the majors. Players drafted out of college earn more money than hs draft picks.
Remember Matt Harrington Offered 5.3 million, Matt White 10.2 million or Josh Hamilton 3.95 million. All supposely cant miss or best prospects ever
No one has a gun to the MLB scout head and says you have to pay this amount or else.
MLB would to a much better job scouting if they cut 1 million of their inflated mlb payroll and hire additional 15 scouts. I know of plenty of scouts that have 5 -10 states to cover plus they have them work pro coverage too
