The Best Paragraph I've Read:Big League Advance uses a proprietary algorithm to project the performance and earning potential of players, in order to establish the set amount it would be willing to pay a player in exchange for each percentage point of future major league earnings that player is willing to give up. For instance, if Big League Advance offers a minor leaguer 100,000 up front for 1% of his earnings, that player can then decide to accept 500,000 in exchange for 5% or 1 million for 10%. A player valued as highly as Mr. Tatis could receive a couple million dollars from Big League Advance.This paragraph comes from the Wall Street Journal. The article is titled: "An Investment Fund Mines the Diamond." The article is written by Jared Diamond.
