"On your best D1 teams, Arizona State or USC, there are maybe a couple to a few kids that will ever make it to AA."

The only ones I see drafted and making it to the show are all pitchers. Seems the college stars are known for striking OUT as much as hitting HRs. The position players got a BUM rap after Bob Horner fizzled back in the 80's. Great college players usually lose the FREE RIDE, never find the WOOD POP, and miss the NEW MAMAS. The PROS don't want to pick it back UP from the bottom, either.

Seems the good kids were drafted for their baseball talent or athletic skills right out of high school. College interferes with the REAL GAME and learning all about GRAVITY (sinkers, sliders, cutters, and 12-6 curves). The high school kids definitely have an advantage going to school early.
