The thing is that MLB has finally seemed to learn the value of letting colleges develop talent. It think Jordan is a very good player - but he is one of 3-4 dozen with similar stats and talent metrics spread across college baseball and high-end high school kids. Jordan has a leverage year, and teams aren't as willing to pay high $ for a kid who still needs to show he can hit the curve and be patient at the plate. They have 30 16 year olds in the DR who can do the same for less.
