What puzzles me is the difference in opinions between pro ball players and scouts.

My husband and I have talked personally with two pro players (in minor leagues) from different organizations and had a friend who talked to a major leaguer. The advice all three gave were nearly identical. [If you don’t go in the early rounds and get BIG money -go to college.]

If going to college hurts your chances of making it why are so many pro ball players giving this same advice?

Edit: And to clarify “early rounds” is like 1st – 3rd.
