Thing with the baseball draft: MLB teams need bodies to fill out the minor league system. they know the vast majority of the players they draft will never make it to the majors, but they need the bodies. A guy I know pitches in the Phillies Minor-league system. He's at Triple-A this year, but he's not on the 40-man roster, and in another year, he'll become a 6-year minor-league free agent. He knows the odds are against him, but he doesn't want to give up the dream.

(1) MLB teams seem to be drafting more and more college guys to fill out minor league rosters. If you're a high school kid not drafted in the first ten rounds, you're better off going to college (unless it's a really rare circumstance).

(2) Good luck to your acquaintance. You never know with pitchers. Something clicks and the dream becomes a reality.
