If their is no monetary "bonus" for the top notch high school kids what is their incentive to go pro out of high school. Why would they want to ride buses and stay in second rate hotels for 4-5 years when they can go to college be treated like MLB players?

The salaries for minor league players is next to nothing so the bonus is the only carrot. Relative to other sports 1-4 million dollars for the top picks isn't so out of control. A few have gotten a lot more but they are the exceptions.
