That's awesome. Well done, Carson.
July 3, 201510 yr That's slot value. What to do with remaining pool and potential overage? Read about the scenarios here, including possibility of grabbing one more significant prospect. Draft Tracker also updated.

I can't see them sitting on that extra $100,000
July 3, 201510 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 3, 2015 -> 03:13 PM) Fulmer will throw out the first pitch tonight and he has signed for slot money. Supposedly on advice from Chris Sale, he has asked for Flowers to catch his first pitch.
July 3, 201510 yr QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 3, 2015 -> 08:39 PM) Supposedly on advice from Chris Sale, he has asked for Flowers to catch his first pitch. In true Sox fashion, he'll allow an early run.

I was hoping for some savings, but I will take getting Fulmer into the fold.
July 3, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 3, 2015 -> 02:41 PM) I was hoping for some savings, but I will take getting Fulmer into the fold. If they didn't have a plan to go a bit over though, wouldn't they have given him the extra $100,000? It doesn't really make any sense to sit on that $$. They can offer Hickman or one of the other guys over $400,000

They may or may not go into that 5% range, though I sure as heck hope they do since it is probably the difference maker here. At worst, I bet they grab one of the other two who might sign for less. But it probably takes that full 450k or so to get Mike Hickman.

July 3, 201510 yr Nice to see Fulmer sign hope they get created with money left and get a good player over slot. Edited July 3, 201510 yr by Soxfest

I hope they get him too, but remember this is a high school catcher we're talking about. Would be shocked if he reached the majors in less than 4-5 years, if ever. Won't be helping any time soon.

July 3, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 3, 2015 -> 04:03 PM) It is 20-15. Rodon didn't get a #14 last year though. It's just weird.

July 3, 201510 yr Willing to bet Fulmer is #15 when he eventually gets promoted (unless the Sox sign someone in the off-season who would wear 15).
July 3, 201510 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 3, 2015 -> 04:49 PM) Where do we think he starts the year? Great Falls? Kannapolis? Kannapolis.
July 4, 201510 yr Er, strike that. Fulmer just said he'll be reporting to Arizona on the 10th. Weird.
