In your experience(s) what does: "Looking for a guaranteed MLB contract. If not, he'll probably take the scholarship and play DI baseball," mean?

I did get this guy in the draft and offered his demands. I assume I'll have to use an option to send him to the minors instead of starting him in the majors. Will this stunt his progression?

No, it will just burn options as long as you leave him on the 40 man roster.

If you want him sign him and you can designate him with out waivers to remove him from the 40 man and keep him in the minors saving 2 option years

I thought designate without waivers pretty much meant he was being released....???

What does this really mean?

As long as he has options, it's fine. DWW immediately removes a player from your 40 man. With options, you can assign to minors.
