Maybe I am not looking at this right, but I don’t think MLB hold all the cards here, however is in a stronger bargaining position than MILB for sure. What I see as part of the problem in player development is the drafting of players who need time to develop more slowly and who would have benefited from playing the college game.

Not all HS players are ready for the next step, especially if they routinely did not play or dodged elite caliber competition in high school. Once those guys get into rookie ball, they get exposed pretty quick (Twins #13 pick this year is a shining example).
