Talking to both of them, the incentive to turn pro is extremely high. I believe Mike was taken by the Expos out of HS and even at his position in the draft the money offered him was more than tempting. Mind you this was 10-11 years ago where those sums have grown even larger. Upon coming home from their missions, the opportunity was just too great to pass up.
Yes I know Dave, his brothers, sisters, mother remarried, her husband, his father and his new wife.

Dave is out of pro ball because he wasn't that interested in it in the first place, not because he probably couldn't have made it. His brother is now finishing dental school. We have another local who's giving it his final year try.

Law has not done a good job. Don't know why but his teams have not fared well.
