MLB Draft - Day 3

[57stratdawg]

Gridley drafted by the As in 11th round. Seems doubtful he returns.

I would think Mangum comes off the board quickly today too.

 

[57stratdawg]

Hutchinson taken in the 12th round by the Mets. Fingers crossed there.

 

[8dog]

He told faulk he is signing. Killer

 

[57stratdawg]

Big blow.

 

[MSUDC11]

So that's at least six signees we will likely lose: Holmes, Rivera, Bacon, McMahan, Reed, and Hutchinson.

Still have a lot of really talented guys coming in, but no doubt those are some big losses.

 

[57stratdawg]

Anyone know the breakdown of that between Cohen and Cannizzaro?

Reed was a recent commit. So, he's a Cann guy. Everyone else Cohen?

 

[8dog]

Hutchinson was really a henderson guy

tanner allen is cann. I think cole marsh is too

Was he a kid that leaned turning pro even if not selected very high? I obviously know zero about his family situation or desire for the college experience. But if I'm a stud player with confidence in my ability, why not roll the dice for a million + signing bonus in a few years? His current bonus would be in the 100k area possibly? It's a personal decision and I obviously wish him the best, but I always find those choices interesting from strictly a business/money point of view.

Past round 10, I'm pretty sure teams can go significantly over slot

 

[Dawg73]

Gotcha. That makes more sense then.

I think Dale Burdick took advantage of that a couple years back. Late round signee, but still got pretty big money.

 

[8dog]

Its a 100k limit per player after ten. But teams can use unused slot from the first ten rounds on those guys. If you fail to sign a player in the first ten rds that doesnt count as unused slot

He got like 150k.
