@LPierce24 @TrojanWallF5 lol!! All-Americans don’t make the cut.

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@PackTheRic @CBCJakeMck Yes. Based solely on talent level spread, agree. Alot of very good baseball minds (scouts, MiLB coaches, staff) get the 🪓. Doesn’t grow the game we (I assume) love. Big Pharma is licking their chops if this happens.

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@PackTheRic @CBCJakeMck Yes. Definitely would. Better not be a late bloomer though. Or get hurt. Or fail a class. Or have a bad year “developing”.

Point being, a billion dollar corporation is putting the bill on college. That no program has turned a positive profit ever.

@danielb31841318 @BaseballAmerica They? Which ones are they?

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@PackTheRic @CBCJakeMck Boom? Who is going to fund all the “high talented players” in the JUCO/NAIA/D2/D3 levels? You’re not getting “more players”, you’re getting the same number of players, less places to put them. Hence 240 players don’t get drafted per year with 20 rounds going to 12.

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@Jsudds44 Well, I don’t want to go there. IF, I was to get recruited, I hope they could HELP DEVELOP me to get to the Big Leagues.

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@EarleyBurn False. But I appreciate the back and forth all day. Helped get through the work day. 0% this passes anyways. But who knows, we put a man on the moon, or did we?

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@EarleyBurn And let college baseball get 105 scholarships like NCAA football does. This would go over like a lead balloon.

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@EarleyBurn Apples to Oranges. Name a single player in the MLB that could play any position other than kicker in the NFL right now? It’s a whole different animal. But fine, increase the MLB roster to 69 players like the NFL, sounds reasonable.

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@EarleyBurn Which school in all of NCAA D1-D3, NAIA, and JUCO that play baseball has a positive ROI currently? But, yes, you’re right let’s put more cost on them as well. Big League Scout? Yep, you’re unemployed. Single A manager climbing the ranks? Go to the house. 240 players cut out!

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@EarleyBurn Great way to grow the sport of baseball.

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@EarleyBurn You’re comparing apples to oranges in MANY different avenues with baseball vs. football. But off the cuff, roster size being one. Longevity of a career would be another. A 19 year old can play in the MLB (Trout, Griffey, Griffin), a 19yo would get man handled,literally in NFL

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@shegone03 @MLB I’m against the proposal. But that’s a hard take.

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@SayHeyJose0 Are they?

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@EarleyBurn Actually not, D1 baseball only had 11.7 scholarships before this year. Now they have 34. Which HS players could get drafted. Which opens spots for others. Log jamming a system that’s already log jammed.

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@williegandalf According to Mansfield, the HOUSE

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@EarleyBurn So basically put it on the tax payers and not the multi-billion dollar owners of MLB?

*Most states pay taxes for STATE funded institutions, that give the scholarships, which is MOST of them.
*Also, IF that institution gives all 34 scholarships, which a lot do not.

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@EarleyBurn Talent-wise, I agree. Financial-wise, I disagree. And I feel like your argument was about finances not talent.

[Tyler Buckley @MSbaseball39]

@eastonfreeze Yes. PLEASE stick to writing about football. This is a thinking man’s game
