I think it's hard to say that MLB draftees and minor leaguers have too much salary leverage.

If anything, they are the most boned of young athletes in the 3 major sports.

The ones at the top do. Year after year the smaller market teams have to pass on guys asking for too much or who have signed Boras. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 23, 07:45 6
- They really don't. If you're talking about players in general, sure, but not rookies/young players. - Callisto Apr 23, 07:49 4
  - They don't make the same as NFL or NBAers as rookies, but the high-end guys in the draft have repeatedly forced smaller teams to think twice about tak - Don Homer Apr 23, 07:50 3
    - Because the team isn't willing to pay $6M for a #1 pick. That's not the system's fault; it's the team's fault. -- nm - TFox Apr 23, 07:59 2
      - It's the revenue fault of the sport. - Will Hunting Apr 23, 08:01 1
        
        Guys, if you can't pay $1.5M annually for the top talent in the draft, no revenue fix is going to save you. -- nm - TFox Apr 23, 08:03
- It's not on the same planet. That Pedro Alvarez brouhaha was over a 4 yr contract worth about $8M. (details inside) - TFox Apr 23, 07:48
