He should just go strait to the farm system. He'll develop faster which means make the big bucks faster... The school will just hold him back

Jim, why not let the kid get a good education along with livin out his dream. You always need something to fall back on. He's made the right decision when most kids don't get the chance to choose.

Stanford baseball is on the decline. They're behind consistent Top 25 schools like UCLA, USD, Fullerton, and Long Beach in California now.

Yeah an athlete should always have a back-up, something to fall back on. You have to watch your back in the game of college recruiting.

The Nationals provide a good example that going to college is most important. Hopefully other teams will catch on in the near future.
