Seems to me there's a lot that get drafted right out high school and just wind up playing minor league ball and that's it!! Money's money and I get that but damn!!
Well, he is from Puerto Rico.

Statistically speaking it's more ideal and you have a better chance of making it to MLB if you go to college first. And actually interestingly enough if you go straight from JUCO to MLB you have an even worse chance of making it to MLB than you do if you go straight from high school.

But some people need money desperately and have to go with the lesser odds.
