I don't understand what advantage a kid would have in telling a MLB scout that he's 17 instead of 19. not much of a difference between the ages in terms of talent

It might not make that much of a difference at age 17(19) but when he's put in his service time and he's eligible for free agency at a younger age, it makes a huge difference.
ESPN is not making many friends. Calling in a player for an interview and pretty much taking a shit all over him. I'd imagine you'll see some agents telling their players to avoid ESPN like the plague, which I'm all for.

ESPN is a necessary evil for us sports fans. I wouldn't lose any sleep if they tanked ala Enron.
