2 hours ago2 hr Those are my two favorite picks this class. Weingartner's hit tool might not get there but the upside is immense.

"Congratulations we are drafting you to be an Atlanta Brave! By the way we are going to pay you $500". They didn't get 500k, they each got 500 bucks. I think I might refuse to sign on principal and let them lose about 200k from their pool. I guess that ends your career but wow.I thought you were being facetious but just looked it up. They literally paid some college kids $500 bucks each. That’s just straight up shitty of them. Would it kill you to give them 10k each, let em take their family to a nice dinner and buy some new clothes or whatever?

Secondly you need to know what the $ value is so that you can offer #11 (and hopefully more picks 12-19) a firm amount. The implication being that 1-10 are done deals as well.So what happens if one of your, say, round 8 punts, decides to go back to school for a 5th year or just give up baseball rather than take the 10K. You lose the whole allotment? I would think the $500 Braves might be at risk.
