Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 2319888, member: 2133"] Absolutely have more picks. They could draft 18 year olds and develop them in the G-league. Although a lot of baseball draft picks who go back to school, do so because they feel the financial gamble is for the best. They're turning down $100k for a chance at $2m. Few actually do so. The other problem with baseball v. NBA, is that 18/19 year olds can do exceptionally well as rookies in the league. Professional baseball requires time to develop. Baseball, it doesn't matter how talented you are, nearly every player has to get some seasoning in the minor leagues to get used to just how great MLB pitchers and hitters are. Aaron Judge was a physical freak of nature and hit 50 HRs as a 25 year old rookie. He'd be out of the league in the NBA at 25. [/QUOTE]
