Wlll J T Ginn be a dawg? Here are the stats
An earlier post on ED asked the question: How many first rounders end up playing college ball?
Here are the stats, of course, it definitely doesn't favor the maroon & white
MLB spring drafts - 1st round only
Years: 2009 - 2017
Total Players drafted: 295
Players unsigned: 11
Players unsigned status: 4 were in college
7 were in high school
Some noted winners/losers:
Win - Phil Bickford drafted 1st round 2013 by Jays, did not sign, played college ball at CS Fullerton, drafted 1st round 2015 by Giants for $2.3M bonus
Loss - Matt Purke drafted 1st round 2009 by Rangers (reportedly for a $4M bonus), did not sign, was a star player at TCU, drafted 3rd round by the Nationals and signed in 2011. Early Injury issues.
Based on the stats, the college experience definitely seem to take a back seat to dollars in hand. You be the judge.
