Reply to "MLBPA Announces 5 Round Draft"

I don’t think you are seeing the big picture. Not only do seniors have the option of coming back but with MLB draft reduced to what appears to be 5 rounds many juniors that would have been drafted in a normal year won’t be. Most wont want to sign as a FA for a fraction of what they expected so many of them will be back too.  I’m going to use a specific D1 school as an example.  They have 10 seniors and expected 2 or 3 of them to be drafted. With only 5 rounds maybe none of them get drafted. They also expected one Jr to be drafted. That’s also not likely. They signed 6 HS seniors and are bringing in 5 Juco transfers. They already had 3 redshirts. In the fall they could have 49 guys competing for 35 roster spots. It will take years to clean up that mess and this situation could be typical not isolated. And you think this will be easy for coaches to resolve? Couldn’t disagree more. Has the potential to be a fiasco. 

Good one.
