The dream of most ballplayers is to make it to the Majors. But the reality is the the chances of 99% of all players making it to the MLB level of baseball is so very low that it is best to plan for the future without baseball. Getting drafted is really the easy part, making it is virtually impossible. Not only do you have to have the skill and mentality to make it, more importantly you have to be in the right situation. Just think of a SS being drafted by the Yankees during the Jeter years. It ain't happening!
So I wish the best for all of them, but most of the time they are better off playing in college, enjoy the experience and prepare for life after baseball. Besides Ron Guidry and Lucroy, do any of you recall any others that have had a significant career at the MLB level in the past 50 years?
