The 15th rounder gets released after the first sign of failure, or directly written off while the 1st rounder gets his failures amortized over a period of time where the signing bonus starts meaning less and less to the club. Using $10,000 a pop, that first rounder will over a hundred chances more to prove himself. The difference between a 1st rounder and a 15th rounder is this.

Does McGuire always give up long fly ball outs? That turned me off a bit. Harvey's stuff looked pretty nasty, especially in the second when he was just blowing fastballs by hitters. Control is obviously the issue with him, but he looked like a first-rounder in that brief look. I watched the first 5 innings of that game on Friday (via webcast).
