[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 151396, member: 322"] I really don't think we are going to lose King ..... for a Jr to leave when not drafted in the top 5 or so rounds is rare. I think the economics and realities of minor league ball keep most in college. (see the MLB draft post). I have a co worker whose kid is the star pitcher for Liberty and now a Sr. So I was kind of interested in the future probabilities ....... I agree that after the first 6 or so rounds, you have no good idea. It's all about "potential". But from MLB's point of view, they basically take out of the money options at a very low price to see if any will pay off; low signing bonus and low yearly carrying charges for the players. And even if drafted >6th round, the odds of ever playing in MLB are probably <2% for the players. [/QUOTE]
