The overwhelming majority of the players in the league with multi-million dollar contracts were all first round picks. The highest paid player drafted outside of the first five rounds was being paid $3.9 million and his stats in the first three years of that four year contract are:
year record GS IP ERA WHIP
1938 9-19 35 205 6.28 1.68
1939 6-5 15 79.1 6.13 1.40
1940 2-13 21 137.2 6.01 1.72
I consider this a very debilitating balance issue that will keep me from playing the game until it is addressed. There has to be more basis on stats/variance/randomness in player progression, otherwise the future of the franchise relies almost solely on how high you are picking in the first round.

I agree and think its important to be looked at. Too many first rounders become stars while there seem to be a dearth of late round surprises coming through. There should be way more risk involved with drafting
