re: Why should Laird settle for $100 K rather than return to LSU?

Your assumption that players would then be paid "slot value" is a huge leap that doesn't follow logic,

no it's not a huge leap at all. if everyone was forced to declare, then everyone drafted would be 100% going into pro ball. players would then be offered what they're actually worth as baseball players (slot) and not paid on their leveraging power (age). they would, more or less, be paid based on how high they are drafted. i don't see how that's a huge leap on logic at all.
