Preconceptions abound.  ... it's also heresy to hire a $75,000 coach to make sure that Albert Belle's head is right, even though you've just laid out $50 mill for the player...
The first 10 picks of the amateur draft is CERTAINLY no place to pinch pennies, if you have a sense of proportion about what ML vets cost... my contention was that Strasburg was worth more like $50M than $15M, but ML teams do like their salary slotting where they can get it...
