I was thinking about the draft pick system of American sports. In this system, a pool of players aspiring to enter in to major league will be picked by different teams. Typically a bad performer in the last session gets the first chance to pick. I really impressed by how the talent is evenly distributed. Otherwise, only rich clubs will have all the talent.
How a club handles a new player is depends on the league. If it is NFL/NBA, the player is directly inducted in to the team and in MLB they need to go through the support system, minor league A, AA, AAA. This again is a wonderful system where they groom their future players. I guess, an American sport is more of a well managed business.
Off course, there are first draft picks who failed after coming in to Major league and its hard to believe Magic Johnson was not picked in the first place draft when he was entering in to NBA!!
Recent NFL draft pick and current MLB draft pick made me to think about this whole system and grooming the future players.
