no I don't feel your condescending at all im just stating the facts. Its 100k for rounds 11 to 40, not 50k. and they could get more money if the team has leftover from rounds 1 to 10 or pay a penalty if they don't. This is a chance of a lifetime for a lot of these kids and they can always go back to school later. An injury might negate their chance at the majors and that's why a lot opt to go. As far as school goes have you heard how hard it is for these kids who graduate college to get a job now aday. The student loans are crushing them to death and to find a job in the field that they went to college for is difficult at best. Im not anti education but I am for taking a chance in life and these kids need to make the best of a once in a lifetime chance.
