Agreed. The pool is smaller. most people on this forum talk College and High School.

"Most of the people on this forum talk College and High School", but the draft includes those players: high school and college. If MLB reduces the rounds to 20 (as stated as a possibility), that reduces the number of players drafted by HALF. HALF! I remember when there were 50 rounds and my guy was just hoping to be drafted out of HS in the 50th round one day......(they reduced it to 40 before keewartson graduated from HS, and it wasn't a real possibility anyway)

It will definitely dash 21st-40th round player's hopes and dreams.

I wonder how/if the change will impact the foreign draft and unsigned free agents, or will that pool just be bigger?
