Acta on the Draft
http://www.squawkingbaseball.com/?p=25Squawking Baseball interviews Nationals manager Manny Acta. I love his take on the international draft:
SB: How would you feel about an international draft?
MA: I'm not a fan of it. People talk about it limiting costs by stopping bidding wars for the top guys. But that's just the top guys. For everybody else, it could actually make things more expensive. There are so many kids down there that are dying to come up and be big leaguers. The system as it is is good for both sides. If you institute a draft, less kids get signed. That's bad for the kids obviously, and bad for the teams since the more players you sign the better chances you have of striking gold.
The same holds true for the domestic draft. Get rid of them both and go back to a scout and sign system.
