Reply to "SEC vs ACC - draft opportunities"

I believe the draft has reduced to 20 rounds, plus 2 comp rounds going forward. With 5 rounds, 20 rounds and 2023 being 20 rounds, so far that will be 2,200 kids that would have been drafted that will not get the opportunity.

I think it's the reduction of affiliated minor league teams - so I guess that pushes better talent into independent ball? It also makes improving affiliated minor league team conditions and increasing pay easier for the MLB teams to swallow.

I believe short season A ball and low A ball are a things of the past - 30 teams, less 30 players is a reduction of 900 minor league slots. I can vouched that multi levels are needed, but it did seem bloated - many kids skipped levels.
