In response to "The MLB Draft is the biggest roulette in sports. Don't ever sweat the picks. It's almost entirely projection. -- nm" by David

One of my big issues is that it would be a signability issue.

I don't have a problem with them passing on Bubba Starling, who I expect to go to college. I don't want them taking an inferior player because he'll be cheaper. Which is what they would be doing. I think I might actually prefer them to take Starling and have two high picks next year when they might have more cash.

So many of these high school kids who are hard to sign wind up washing out of A ball. I never worry about it. - David Jun 6, 16:26 4
- How many of the players picked for their signability have done well? - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 6, 16:31 2
  - It's the inverse, actually. How many of the massive bonus guys have done well? - David Jun 6, 16:34
  - Storen might be one of the few. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:33
- True, but this is supposedly one of the best drafts in 2 decades (just under 2005 and with 2002) - Will Hunting Jun 6, 16:28
