Delmon Young, Major League contract?
odawg13 replied to Nefaste's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
There is an update on the top four draft picks and the negotiation process. It is for subscribers only, but it sheds some light on the Weeks situation. -
Friday, Josh Boyd of Baseball America mentioned in his chat room that there might be an update on the top four draft picks and their progress, or in this case, lack of progress in signing in an updated draft notebook by Jim Callis. Their should be some info concerning Weeks, so keep your eyes open for that.

The Disappearance of Rickie Weeks
odawg13 replied to deeswan's topic in MLB Draft & International Signings
One thing that has not been touched on in this discussion on why Rickie Weeks has not signed is the increased involvement that the Commissioners Office has over draft picks being signed. This year any contract exceeding the slot money allocated by Major League Baseball has to be approved by the Commissioners Office. So far only one first round draft pick has been allowed to sign for above his slot amount, Michael Aubrey, and that was for 60,000 more. This was the main reason that Adam Lowen signed with the O's, rather than re-enter the draft. He was well aware that MLB was going to be very strict with forcing teams to sign players for their slotted prices. Peter Gammons reported this week that one team came to terms with a player for 100,000 over the slot amount, and had that turned down by the Commissioners Office. Right now, I think that the top picks and Jeff Allison are holding out hoping that MLB caves on this new strategy, but most likely they will have to come around to signing for the slot price.
