There are quite a few high school baseball players who are pretty good and if drafted need to be sold by the college baseball coach that an education can be pretty valuable. Not all of those kids drafted get a ton of money. The best high school baseball player out of Cleveland is going to Georgia Tech and he was either a 1st or 2nd round draft pick.

2. Baseball in the snow is a hell of a lot different than football. Baseball isn't meant for three inches of snow on the ground and 30 degree days.

Again, you have to sell the kid on the program and you don't always have to get kids from the warm weather states. There are plenty of states that border Ohio where there is good high school baseball played. How does Minnesota and UM get so many good players?
I differ. I think he has gotten a little lazy when it comes to recruiting.

4. Don't really understand this argument.

As I stated above, there are so many rounds in the MLB draft you have to so kids on the college program. Not all of these kids that are drafted are ever going to make it to the major leagues and you have to sell a college education.

5. The program is never going to be a Florida or Cal. We should be swinging for best in the Big Ten, though.

Bad example. I think you might mean Texas or LSU or even the Carolinas and Georgia. Maybe Florida State was certainly not Florida or Cal.
Todd needs to get off of his butt and sell the program. He is living on laurels that are 10 years old or more.
