Simming a historical file with real minors and draft enabled to see results. I Started in 1920 and stopped at 1933 (plan to go to 2016) just to poke around and check a few things.

I noticed Joe DiMaggio was "purchased" by the Phillies organization back in 1931 as a 16 year old and played in the MLB at 17. Shouldn't he have gone into the amateur draft the same as everyone else? Looks like he was never drafted.
