This means that Greg Oden, and most of the rest of the franchise HS talents for the class of 2006, will be forced to go to college (as most will be 18 on draft day).
From what I've read, here are some of the changes:
-- 19 year old age limit
-- Shorter contracts
-- Increased cap
-- True minor league
