The point is why use a top round guy as your whipping boy. Why not draft a kid who has no chance to sign a MLB contract and you know will play at some small college and just not pay him and nothing is harmed here?


because then they look cheap and what they are doing is obvious. they cant blame it on the guy being "unsignable"

It's only a dick move if they fail to offer him a contract that would be appropriate for the 28th player selected in the draft.

Lee says he wants $3 to $5 million, which implies he wants a premium to his draft slot in order to forego playing football at LSU. The corollary to that is that the opportunity to play football at LSU has a value to Zach that appears to be the delta between what a 28th pick should get and ~$3 million.
