Reply to "Draft Day Advice"

I tend to agree with you CD. And I think MLB has diminished leverage even more with the shorter cutoff date for signing and the compensation picks for the next year if the high picks don't sign.

Having gone through this with 2 sons multiple times each (plus their friends and teammates) I would say the one piece of advice that seems to catch most people off guard is when they ar told to be ready in Round X by Team Y. I know FAR more kids who were let down on that 'promise' than were not.

Do your best to roll with it. It isn't an integrity thing on scouts' part. Things change on draft day based on what's going on and it isn't personal if it doesn't happen the way you were led to believe.

Just roll with it.
