[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 435746, member: 2843"] THIS! An MLB club losing a high draft pick to his college of choice isn't in any way an indictment of GT. It's on the MLB club for a colossal failure in doing its due diligence. Related... but not specific to these MSU guys (that I know of)... to think the calculus is about the money & that's pretty much it, is way over-simplifying things &/or painting with a very broad brush. There could be a LOT of reasons an 18 yr old decides to stay out of a professional environment & opt for college.... even the elite of the elite. Most that age are not close to being ready for that. ...& the downside is REAL & long term.. potentially. Of course, the MLB club SHOULD be clued into a prospect's situation & not draft a guy who isn't locked into going pro. [/QUOTE]
