Reply to "Who develops a pitcher better?"

I find it interesting to go to the different teams and look at their first 10 picks...
And see the trend of some teams to almost exclusively pick college players(Oakland, Toronto, Red Sox) and then look at the large number of hs players the Yankees usually draft?

My example of Halladay wasn't a good one.
I didn't mean to turn the original question into a conversation about Cy winners out of hs vs.college.
It is just my opinion that MLB coaches do
develop...and I see the overuse, abusive pitch counts and excessive breaking pitches(due to aluminum bat fear) in college ball as a reason for concern. Chicks said it well...that there are obviously programs at both levels who do it better than others.
