If you have a well off family and hate school, it could absolutely make more sense to choose your organization now instead of waiting 3 years and hoping to get drafted while playing for free at a university. I'd advise most of these kids to go Juco and re-enter the draft next year, when it's more than 5 rounds and there aren't these spending limits.

It's not that easy though. The JUCO's are going to be flooded. This is a case by case basis. What you're describing is what the majority of guys should do. I understand why some would take the $20K and start a professional career though.

What you're describing is what the majority of guys should do. I understand why some would take the $20K and start a professional career though. If you are good enough to take the $20k and wind up being successful, you aren’t going to have a hard time finding a JUCO that will let you play all the time. Worst case scenario is you get a year in school and some development, and if you get redrafted, if it costs you, maybe it costs you $10k. So what. The extra year in school is worth that. How much development are these signees going to get before next spring?
June 15, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! said: Not a single damn signing by the Sox today. So frustrating. It's not frustrating at all. This was never going to be some free agent signing frenzy that for some reason people thought it would be. They have until Aug 1 to sign players. There is no rush. The only players signed are sr signs and a couple dumbass high schoolers. Fear not. They will sign guys you've never heard of and will never hear from again.

I mean chances are that none of these guys will ever amount to anything, but it’s frustrating to me in the sense that there has to be young talent out there that is worthy of being signed, and yet the Sox are doing nothing.
June 15, 20205 yr Author Royals starting to sign some decent guys. still - most of the signings today are the guys you’d expect in rounds 11-30...not 6-10

I’m sure they’ll sign some guys. Shirley even said as much. They really don’t have a ton of room for players though. These guys they sign could ultimately end up released before even playing a game in 2021. It’s not something anyone should be frustrated about IMO

June 15, 20205 yr Royals: Saul Garza, C/DH, Louisiana State | Link | Scouting Report (No. 379 on BA 500) Kale Emshoff, C, Arkansas-Little Rock | Link | Scouting Report (No. 174 on BA 500) John McMillon, RHP, Texas Tech | Scouting Report (No. 357 on BA 500) A.J.

All for $120k. They had a game plan and they are executing it better than anyone right now.

June 16, 20205 yr Royals, Red Sox, Phillies, and Cubs seem like they're all doing well based on the BA tracker. Also, there are a ton of college baseball players in the transfer portal right now looking for a new school. I've got to think once it gets closer to August you'll see a bunch more guys sign who haven't found a landing spot on the transfer market

You're frustrated about "none of these guys will ever amount to anything"? What am I missing here? or are you just looking for something to complain about?
