Reply to "How Much Should Strasburg Get?"

The best method to determine what the true value of Strasburg is would be to allow him to negotiate with every MLB team, not just the Nats. The true market place would then determine his real value. However MLB doesn't want that to happen so they are allowed a special arrangement which is totally to their advantage. Given that fact, the draftees should be encouraged to get every penny they can.

The owners will make up for the Strassburg contract by dramatically underpaying other draftees (becasue of the leverage they have) and no one will ever say a word about it.
