1 hour ago1 hr What is the theory behind taking the college senior in, say, round 8, and using the savings to pay overslot to a prep player in, say, round 12; versus taking the prep player in round 8; and the college senior in round 12.Can you not use the savings in rounds 11-20 to compensate for overslots in 1-10?

Rounds 11-20, you get $150 per slot, and that money up to the slot limit doesn't count against anything beyond its own slot. Anything under does not roll over. Anything over counts against total pool. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by WestEddy

Big time mistakes.I assume some facetiousness here; nevertheless, to replace departees, downturns in performance (as we know), injuries (as we know), trade for young players at different positions. Up the middle ballplayers are of extreme high value. And just upgrades.

If you pay him $300k, only $150k counts against your pool. If you pay a 5th year Senior a $7.5k bonus in the 11th round, that $142.5k savings is dead, and can't be spent anymore. Drafting cheaper players in the pool rounds (1-10) gives you extra money to spend overall. If you look at the 2025 draft, the White Sox tried spending every penny they could. They gave out one bonus under $10k in rounds 11-20. MLB Draft Tracker | MLB.com

1 hour ago1 hr This has been a fantastic draft. I may go as far to say the best draft they've ever had. I feel pretty confident the first 3 picks will be big leaguers. That really sets you up to take a lot of risks and go for development potential over floor. They might not have a single big leaguer with picks 4+ but I like they took a bunch of "if" (if x develops they might actually have something).

So taking the high schooler who may not sign makes sense in round 11+.

Mr Chris Sale.Dare I say that Roch may follow the same path? Come on up Roch! We need your right handed bat.I'm old enough to remember when Gordon Beckham was going to be our savior. I stated I'd be happy if he turned out to be as good as Tadahito Iguchi for several years and was laughed at and ridiculed for having such "low" expectations for this "can't miss superstar." He never even came close to being a Tadahito Iguchi.
