To be honest, I don't see the benefit from doing so. The fee for current-day teams is trivial—it's just one-eigth of the minimum major league salary. In other words, pocket change to a major league club.
That said, if you go back to earlier years, then yes, the fee paid for drafting a player was more substantial in terms of its proportion to the minimum major league salary.
