[QUOTE="78pike, post: 880406, member: 4030"] what you say is true, but there are also several instances where coming back drastically improves your draft slot if your performance improves. Fortunately at programs like Tech there is plenty of national exposure should you show out. In one year Borden went from a platoon infielder to a major threat at the plate. Another solid year at the plate along with moving from DH to a fielding position could help him immensely. Personally I think he could be a corner outfielder with his speed and strong arm. Also, I remember when Varitek spurned a high draft position to come back for his senior year. It sure didn't hurt him. I understand the "age tax" and that certainly does happen. But if you are looking at being a 10th round pick and another year bumps you up to a 4th or 5th rounder I think you take that chance. And guys at Tech, I think, also have to consider that if that extra year gets you a degree from Tech it may be worth much more than an improved draft slot. The majority of players that get drafted will never even get a sniff of the show. If they have a degree from Tech to fall back on they are much better positioned to have a successful life. [/QUOTE]
