Reply to "Help getting son drafted this year..."

Life is hard and the Milb lifestyle is harder. That $20k (generous and AAA level) a year is only while you are playing and not for the 4 months you are off. 

"The average salary for a minor league baseball player, whose contract is handled by Major League Baseball, ranged from around $6,000 in Single-A to around $9,350 in Double-A to nearly $15,000 in Triple-A in 2018, according to The Athletic. Those wages cover only the months of the regular season. Players are not paid during spring training or in fall leagues.

The poverty line in 2019 is $12,490, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services."

Most advice given here is in the best interest of the player and sometimes less digestible by the parents. It is what it is.

Best of luck to your son, everyone deserves a chance to chase their dreams.
