Reply to "Minor League Poverty"

If my accounting firm along with other accounting firms could create an "accounting graduate draft" where accounting graduates had to work 4 seasons for us before they are eligible to change firms, we'd could save a lot of money with really low pay and we wouldn't have to pay them to get training during the off season However accountants don't have a draft and accounting firms can't force them to sign 4 year conrtacts,, so accounting firms have to be competitive with pay starting the first day,

MLB doesn't have to worry about MiLB players leaving for other teams, so they can pay whatever they want as the player has very little leverage. Do away with the draft and standard minor contract tying players to teams and the pay will increase substantially. Yes there are lots of players willing to take the place of any MiLB player for free or less, however most don't have the skill to be competitive at that level.,
