I think teams put to much faith and money into these 16 year old international players so much can happen between the time there 16 to the time there 20 alot of risk is involved in these deals

A lot of upside, too, and only one of them got paid like a first round draft pick, despite the fact that all thirty teams can bid on them.
Besides, betting two million bucks on an elite 16-year old hitter is safer than betting $90 million on a 32-year old pitcher with a relatively short record of success, like Cliff Lee.

The Seattle Mariners signed Felix Hernandez, David Ortiz, Shin-Soo Choo, Asdrubal Cabrera and Jose Lopez at young ages.

very true i didn’t say they cant pan out but there is risk involved here…not ALL of these players turn into MLB superstars but point taken there definitely can be a few that can make GM’s look like studs

Baseball, and sports in general, is all about risk. It would be a pretty boring game if no one took risks.
