Not sure why any first round junior would go back to school...
Rays found something they didn't like with his MRI and couldn't reach an agreement

Posting this here, because I just posted in another thread, and this thread is better. Was in response to someone saying the ONLY benefit was getting an education.
That is where you are dead wrong. He was drafted late in the first round, with a slot of around 3 million. If he goes to school I believe it's super realistic to expect him to be drafted top 5, which is anywhere between 5-2 million more in slot value.
So, let's put in all in prespective, since you say getting an education is the ONLY benefit to coming to LSU.
1. Obviously the education
2. Moving up in the first round allows him to make a lot more money. Obviously, there is no guarantee he moves up in the first round, but chances are he does.
3. Three years in college will make him 3 years older, wiser, stronger, playing against great competition. Similar to the level of minor league ball.
4. Is a combination of 2 And 3. While his signing bonus would be nice, his journey through the minors will not result in a big pay check. So, as he works his way up, that signing bonus will slowly (or quickly if he isn't smart with it) disappear. So, going to LSU could potentially both earn him a much much larger bonus plus get him closer to playing in the MLB quicker (see Bregman).
Now....all that being said, he probably will sign with the Brewers. However, it isn't as far fetched and as crazy as some of you think.
