Actually, something like 85-90% of all first rounders make the big leagues.  Not that many stick, but most make it.

 

My problem is that agents have gotten involved and players now get huge dollars before they have proven s***.  It seems as many fail to pan out as those that do.

my bad; my numbers were for 3rd rounders. nonetheless, having a significant major-league career is far from a sure thing even for first rounders, and you need to have that kinda career to cash in on free agency. so my point about why they wanna do all they could to obtain financial security for life still stands, i think.

 

also, if he doesn't sign, can't he pitch in an independent league? still a risk, obviously, but assuming he overpowered players in an indie league for a year, i wonder where he'd get drafted next year.

Off topic...

 

what happened to Drew's brother?  did he agree to terms?

 

He still hasn't signed yet. Another Boras cluster f***. I think the DBacks were hoping to use some of the quiche they got from the Yankees or something. The dude wants to be paid like Weaver....like he's a top 3 pick or something.
