Does baseball have a draft?
it's a LOOOOTTT different than other drafts. 40 rounds + compensatory picks of largely unknown kids, of which maybe 2 or 3 will make the top club.

Are the Indians considered a "top club?"
I think when he says top clubs, he means the majors, the lesser clubs being the farm teams. You probably know this though, as I am sure you are just ribbing scootsy.
Actually.. I really did think he meant the best teams. I was also unsure whether the Indians are any good.. meaning, now.
I know embarrassingly little (nothing) about baseball.
I hope you're kidding.
But I'm sure you're not.
Exactly. I find it funny when the holier than thou crowd preaches finishing college... when we supposedly go to college, mainly, to learn a trade and earn a living.
Irony.
How much money did Barkley lose going back to USC his senior year? Matt Lienhart as well.
I hope you're kidding.
But I'm sure you're not.

Lol... I thought you were arguing with me but it turns out you were agreeing. I thought you were trying to say kids do better by staying in school and when I saw your examples, I was like ho-leeeee ****!
Glad to see I was wrong.
Scootsy, educate us on baseball
Personally I don't buy into it. Since I've been visiting Jazzfanz.com I've heard this notion put forth one way or the other every year. I'd love to see a breakdown of talent 4 years later from a "weak draft" vs a "strong draft."
Strong Draft:2000 top 5 players selected: Kenyon Martin, Michael Redd, Mike Miller, Jamal Crawford, Hedo Turkoglu,
Weak Draft: 1984 top 5 players selected: Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olijuwon, John Stockton, Charles Barkley, Alvin Robertson
Buy it now?
