After round 20 do they just look for athletes and hope they can turn them into players? Yes and no. Sometimes they'll go for raw athletes and try to mold them. Quite often they'll take guys who will go to Junior Colleges and let them show themselves at a higher level of competition and for an extra season, and then sign them before next year's draft. The Brewers did that with Manny Parra in 2001. He was a 26th round pick that dominated JuCo so much that he would have been a 1st rounder had the Brewers not signed him the week before the 2002 draft.
