Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 2979960, member: 285"] That’s not truly the MLB/College system. Leaves out that a ton of baseball players play at the JUCO level and they are eligible to be drafted after each year and unlike basketball, kids playing JUCO baseball actually do get drafted. If those JUCO kids go on to a four year school they can be drafted after each year at the four year school. A kid who spends 2 years playing JUCO and 2 years playing major college, could potentially be drafted 5 times. The real difference between the basketball and baseball system is that the NCAA doesn't make baseball players give up their eligibility to go through the draft. It's great for the NBA, they know the drafted player has no leverage because he can't return to college. Why the NCAA does this to hoops players really doesn’t make a lot of sense, at least not to me. [/QUOTE]
