I think they need to do away with international free agents. I think if foreign players want to get into MLB they need to enter the draft like american players.
 
While I think they need to improve the system, throwing them all into the normal draft would probably hinder many from ever coming over. There is still the fact that not all players can simply leave at their leisure. And, for those that don't really become good prospects until later, they could be suck at lower compensation levels for their entire career.
