They make the playoffs every single year as an 8 seed and they lose in the first round every single year. They will never be better than that, but they will never be worse than that, because they're trapped in this limbo that no team wants to actually be in. (never is of course relative, the Bucks could certainly find some luck and become excellent in 10 years or something)
There are 40 rounds in the MLB draft. Drafting isn't that big of a deal, and making the playoffs is everything.
