The first pick in the first round has more value than the 20th pick (heck it has more value than the second pick in the first round). Just because signing amateur players is an inexact science doesn't mean it is the same as gambling.
The history of the draft shows more early round picks have successful careers than those taken in later rounds.
Absolutely.
But it is not as exact results as other sports.
no doubt. It goes to show how hard hitting and pitching a baseball is.
