Sure it does, if teams don't feel he is worth what he is asking, then they should pay simply b/c they can? Baseball doesn't have a group think as far as going overslot, Selig would like for them to, but it doesn't occur.
I'm typically negative towards the Cards drafting, but I don't see them spending 2.5 mil on a sandwich pick nor do I see them drafting a pitcher that high espec. at that price. Yeah I am not that confident they would pick them either, but I am just hoping that since they are local guys maybe it would put some pressure on them to dish out a little cash. I would expect a slotted college arm. :wave:
