An apologist might say the draft system is excusable because professional athletes make so much money, or that such rules are essential for balance among teams.Bells and whistles were ringing for me. The first excuse was just a distraction to present two issues in hopes that he could hook the reader into thinking he's being semi-reasonable. He wanted to attack the idea that the draft was a fair system, and anyone who thought so must be an "apologist" (although it's not clear for whom).
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
