So I don't look at getting drafted as a special circumstance if an agreement was made. We put too much importance on the fact that baseball is more important than anything else in the world. That was what I was questioning.
I know we all love the game and want our sons to play at the highest level, but once you really understand the magnitute of the difficulty of reaching the highest level you might understand. Even those new ss guys understand that concept.It's just not a year, or two, or three, even for the best prospects in the country. So what determines how long someone can wait to put off what they promised. I never said he would not, that was not teh point, it was the importance of baseball compared to serving our country. I think the latter is much more important and I think they feel that was too.
