Sox Fan In Husker Land Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 So assuming the 10th round pick is a $10,000 pick again and if the Sox signed the first 4 picks to slot here is the savings available for later picks: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaDoc Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I think penalties kick in if you go beyond 5 percent of your pool so almost 550k more if 1-4 net at slot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would take up pretty much all of the savings at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackDoorBreach Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 So, when are we going to draft actual prospects again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I don't know why Vaughn would sign for anything significantly under slot. Thompson maybe, he seemed to be taken a bit higher than predicted so there may be some savings there.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The Sox haul seems kinda underwhelming after the first 3 picks to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 So how quickly does the excitement of being drafted in the 5th round as a college senior turn into the realization of "shit, I'm still only getting a 10K bonus"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if we didn't take him he was probably falling to 5, so we should be able to offer just over that slot and he would be getting more than if he doesn't take that.

Sox need to sign these legit prospects. It's not like this is an unusual approach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha. all you have to do is look at the MLB draft tracker since round 5. rounds 6-9 have like one top 200 pick per all teams per round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
