To all the people that were complaining about High School Draftees getting paid too much money out of high school....the real question is this, would you pay 100 million for a unknown free agent in a forein market, or would you pay an 18 year old throwing 98mph $8 million. If you had a businees model, which one would you pick.

Everyone was always up in arms about the high school kids getting 8 million in the first few picks of the draft, but in reality it is a freaking steal for the major league ball clubs and owners.

Now they are having to fork a ton of money over to someone just as much an unknown.
