About to get into their pen in 4th inning of first game. Couldn’t ask for better. Looks like they are a little hung over from their weekend’s emotional high.
Have you read Tito’s book? He had no doubt given another year or two he would have been an impact player.
let’s just say I’d opt for 5 tools over 2 or 3 if I had to chose.
I think it has to be a combo of both. If you are a 4 or 5 tool athlete it’s not attractive to do an internship for 2-3 years before getting paid. No other sport does that.
Baseball has to find a way to attract the “next level freak athletes” if it wants to compete long term with other sports. MiLB minimum wage of $100k-200k might be able to sway some kids away from the other sports. I know it will never happen .
