I do not follow the MLB Draft closely at all. I wait until after the fact to see who the Mets drafted and what the prospects might be for the players. Thank you for cleaning up my analogy, since that one makes more sense. Excellent point Jordi… I do not follow the MLB Draft closely at all.

It was classic. But that's a post for another day. But I totally agree with the Mets comparison. But do you follow free agency or the draft? Because I would compare signing day to a draft. The baseball draft, as a matter of fact, is probably a great analogy, because you are not going to see most of those guys contribute for 2-3 years, like a college recruit.

I have two entirely opposite feelings evoked by the post. 1) It solidifies my feelings that the whims of young men and where they might play football in college is silly. Very silly. 2) I might actually be interested in the recruiting notes of OTHER things like the military and major tech firms. What's really funny is that, in perspective, I cannot understand why I don't mind reading / following MLB trades or signings for the Mets, but recruiting doesn't interest me. Is the money? The age of those involved? The level of professionalism? Oh, and btw, the National Job Draft would be awesome. Can you imagine if some super smart guy "fell in the draft" because he doesn't get along with teams and ended up in some sort of job that was unexpected? Bravo Jordi!
