Somebody will need to chip in for the minor leaguer making $5,500 a year, after he's socked away that lifetime-of-income bonus of his, till he gets to the show, if he gets there. Who gets that bill?
If I was an scout, the last thing I would bring up is the money. Money comes and goes, most times very quickly. I would sell the opportunity, just as hard to the 1498th pick, as the 1st pick. The money will come if the opportunity is seized and exploited by those with the courage to play with the big boys.
I would ask my draftee "do you have what it takes? Do you have the rocks to put it all out there? Well... Do ya?"
Yes, take out the senior signs and the median goes up. High schoolers only signing for bigger money does not strengthen your argument though Shep. Besides, money is irrevelant (till you run out), imo.
