Just a quick note on that 2012 draft: new CBA, a lot of teams were drafting college seniors with no leverage for low moneys to save money after the 10th round to go spend their draft pool on bonus babies. In the 10th round, 7 teams went slot (including the Giants with Brown, the Reds went overslot to the tune of 500K, and the remaining 22 teams were far under, including a few 4 figure deals.<br /><br />Why does this matter? There is value in playing the draft straight and getting your guy. Trevor Brown is the only guy in that 10th round to have made the show. A guy we liked around here named Ron Miller played 2 years with the Marlins, and then fell out of baseball. <br /><br />Interestingly, about half the players in the 10th round are still playing pro ball. Some have dropped out or are playing independent. That's pretty remarkable after 3 full years.Shankbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803824507120403397noreply@blogger.com
