Reply to "How much does it take?"

Agree with what CD said "If you stay in college four years, unless you are a very high draft choice, the money is almost nil". Take a look at the numbers below - these are from the top 10 rounds (1-10) of the 2009 MLB draft. I think 14 (of the 22 seniors) got 40k or less - and don't forget, these are top ten round guys...
