Texsox Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 The only issue I have with Kruk's argument is why should anybody settle for less money then they can get? Do you think Kruk told ESPN, hey I've never done this before. Give me $25,000 for the first year and we'll talk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Thanks for posting that article. I enjoyed reading it. I think Kruk has some really good points about the draft and other misc. stuff in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I read this earlier. He said good stuff in there. The problem with baseball goes deeper than draftees wanting more money than they deserve. It starts with the agents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I read this earlier. He said good stuff in there. The problem with baseball goes deeper than draftees wanting more money than they deserve. It starts with the agents. Part of the problem is they are drafting high school kids and enticing them to skip college and play pro ball. Sometimes that takes more cash. I've read stories where kids say no, then the team starts offering what sounds like a great deal, the kid has no professional representation, and gets screwed. It certainly isn't all fun and games.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Wow, that was actually a really good article. Who knew that would come out of Kruk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redandwhite Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Everything he says is correct, but its something that isn't going to change by one article. Players will continue to be millionaires before even doing anything, and there isn't a damn thing we or Kruk can do about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnB Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 I've always had a question about the draft, maybe one of you could answer it. I know alot of teams draft HS kids, but then the kids choose college instead of going to the minors. Do the teams that draft those HS kids who choose college instead, get anything in return? since they don't get the player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
