Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 3178564, member: 549"] Rather than start a separate thread I’ll drop this here (you should be able to access - not $$): [URL='https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/draft-system-has-pushed-teams-to-pick-more-college-players/']Baseball America: Draft System Has Pushed Teams To Pick More College Players[/URL] >> Fifty-one of the 78 total selections on the first day of this year’s draft came out of four-year college programs, or roughly 65.4 percent of the pre-third round draft pool. That is the second-highest rate of four-year players selected in that portion of the draft. Only the 1981 draft (69.2 percent) is higher, and that was at a time when junior college players were selected in a separate January draft. But it’s not just the top of the draft in which teams have begun prioritizing and drafting college players. It’s throughout the top 10 rounds, and it’s through the entirety of Day 3 as well.<< Goes on to talk about how changes in signing bonus/slot $ impact things. [/QUOTE]
