    Being lumped in with the Rays is good company if we are going with the whole "punt to a better draft class" theory.
  2. snoogans8056
    From what we've heard previously in the thread, we knew it would be a tough / impossible sign. We knew we'd have a ton of money available and thought we could influence that. We will get the same pick next year, it's not a total loss. Just pushing the pick back a year.

    But Broughton is rated higher than Letson was everywhere but MLB.com (who we don't seem to care about). I'll take another Letson or two. Malamazian also gives off huge Adamczewski vibes. I'll take everyone 11-20, gladly.
  4. snoogans8056
    Sounds like the choice is already been made for them. On the plus side, our Midwest scout has been responsible for Luke Adams, Bishop Letson, and Josh Adamczewski in the last two drafts. No misses. They went after 6 more midwest high schoolers in rounds 8-20 this year. I’d like to see all of them signed. Surely we can’t catch lightning in a bottle 9 out of 9 times…

    Is insane considered like late first round money? Cause we probably have that... Or is insane considered early/mid first round money? Cause that would truly be insane.

    Wonder if Meccage and Nunnalee both being Virginia recruits helps us any? Especially with him possibly being a catcher.
  7. snoogans8056
    It should be stressed that it's not just Nunnalee that we'd be going after in the late rounds. Travis Smith is a highly regarded pitcher who has had Tommy John and heart surgery derail his college career. Was talked about as an early round prospect.
  8. snoogans8056
    Well that settles that. Get Meccage signed, and try for Nunnalee and Smith which should be tough signs at 14 and 15.

    DeBery is a senior so he's a potential MAJOR under slot. I think the Levonas stuff is just seeing all that saved money and wanting more of it. I don't blame him, but I don't like it.
  10. snoogans8056
    My dream scenario. Throw big money at 14th and 15th rounders, $1M is tough to turn down. No idea what to do with the 3rd rounder. He could get $500k, he could get $10k. Kind of split the difference there.
  11. snoogans8056
    The 3rd round senior pick with a $788k slot is gonna be what makes or breaks the 11-20 rounds. Could be huge savings there…. That being said, the last time I got excited about big senior savings was our 2021 2nd rounder Russ Smith. He signed for $1M on a $1.44M slot (but an extra Covid year may have been in play there). Those 11-20 high schoolers in 2021 were draft eligible this year. One went in the 2nd round, and another went in the 4th.
  12. snoogans8056
    75% would be $2,023,725. I think it'll be around there. Maybe round up a little bit to an even number like Payne did. Payne got 75.87% of slot.
  13. snoogans8056
    I'd put Meccage and Levonas in the Overslot+ category. I'd imagine both get closer to $2M.
  14. snoogans8056
    It’s actually a woman named Ginger Poulson. Look at this years draft and take note of all the late round midwest high schoolers that she got drafted (9, 10, 13, 17, 19, and 20). Also Luke Adams from years past is a late steal from her as well.
  15. snoogans8056
    So having the recent draft currently in our minds,,,, How the heck does a 13th round college pitcher with a $100K bonus crack our top 5 in less than a year? What are they seeing in Wichrowski?
  16. snoogans8056
    So…. does anyone else feel like a junkie waiting for these bonus numbers?
  17. snoogans8056
    Morlando was pick number 16 and signed for $3.4M (the 75% would have been closer to $3.6M). Our pick is number 17 and 75% of that would be exactly $3.4M. I think that is gonna be the number.
  18. snoogans8056
    We only hear of minor league contracts in regards to signing bonuses, but what’s stopping teams from paying guys more during the contract itself rather than using bonus money? Example: Sign for 150k less, and we will pay you 50k more per year? Feel like this would come in handy in rounds 11-20, and especially with high schoolers. **EDIT** From what I’ve found on google, it looks like your first contract season is paid $1,100/month, and after that season it’s all open to negotiation (with higher minimums at each level).
  19. snoogans8056
    Paying him the minimum 75% of our slot would place him between the 25th and 26th picks slot-wise. Feels like a good compromise if a deal was made.
  20. snoogans8056
    Travis Smith (15th rounder, tough sign) being family friends with Chris Hook our pitching coach is an interesting development.
  21. snoogans8056
    Ah I’m old and thought it was June still…
  22. snoogans8056
    A quick reminder that he’s the youngest guy down there. Just turned 17 a week ago, looks like they weren’t playing him until then.
  23. snoogans8056
    Here is a quick comparison from last year to this year with projected signing bonuses to just get an idea of what our Day 3 warchest might look like. I feel like i went at the highest range we could expect with everyone except our first two picks (who I assume are taking a huge discount) and still ended up with near a million left over. ***EDIT*** After going through last years draft's signing bonuses, we may be looking at closer to $2.5 mil for the two high school pitchers. However, we gave Knoth $2mil last year at pick 33 and Misio $2.35 mil as the 63rd pick in 2022 so who knows?
  24. snoogans8056
    And you guys were worried we weren’t gonna draft like insane people…
