in other news.... there's 50 rounds to the MLB draft????
that's got to be freakin' tough on the scouting department.
Mike Piazza got drafted in the 62nd round of the 1988 draft by the Dodgers .... as a favor
MLB scouting teams are the most taxed in sports. Not only do they have to pore over tens of thousands of draft candidates every year, looking not only at their games, but their character makeups and signability, but they also have to scout everyone else's minor league systems for trade targets. The minor league affiliates I can think of are AAA, AA, A+, A, Rookie Ball, VSL, DSL, extended spring training, and short-season ball. Each affiliate has a roster of about 25 players. That means that each of 31 other teams in the league have at least 225 players who can be scouted.
I tell myself daily this is why I never got past being carded ... they didnt look hard enough to find me
