Player comparison for Draft pool prospects

offerman7 · 06-06-2013, 07:49 PM

I think this feature would be a nice touch to the draft. Compare the prospect to a current or formal MLB Player.

Example

Cleveland Indians 2013 1st round pick
Clint Frazier

Player comparison according to MLB Network:
Mike Trout.

Though hopefully the comparisons would be a little more accurate than that!

Or than the three Chris Sale comps that MLB hung on different guys

So yeah, comps would be good, but only if they were of better quality than the moronic MLB Network ones.

Please no..I can't stand when they do it in the MLB. I would like to see the draft redone with signing bonuses for each position and if a player doesn't sign they go back to their college and if in HS..they go to a Uni or JC. And that implements the draft rules that would make the players wait a few years if they go to a major college..

And if they go to JC they return next season. That would be awesome.

A lot of that is already implemented. If a player doesn't sign, they reappear in the draft pool the next year, or if they're in HS, go on to college.

I have seen that there is no deadline for signing a college senior. I don't think that is accurately represented in game. There is no way a guy who can't go back to school should not sign eventually. In reality it doesn't happen.

I read an article about the draft the other day that said a lot of college seniors wait til later in the summer to sign.

Not with the MLB rules I mentioned for JC and DI baseball and definitely not signing bonuses for each selection.

That's why I said "a lot" and not "all."
