If he isn't, we could possibly throw another $290k to Del Castillo or Montgomery to see if they bite. Jim Callis just tweeted out that Martin was only $5K overslot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del Castillo "Strong prototypical catcher's build. 7.11 runner, has a very good arm behind the plate and makes accurate on line throws, good athletic looseness to his defensive actions, 1.86 best pop time. Left handed hitter, uses his hands very well in his swing, creates bat speed and has some barrel whip, quick hands, ball comes off the barrel hard and has some lift on his pitch. Interesting left handed hitting catcher with some pop." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While there is not scouting report on Montgomery, he is ranked 81st in the nation. For comparison sake, fellow HS lefty Drew Rom who is ranked 84th went 4th round to the Orioles and signed for $650k. Looks like it will be a long shot for these two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without redoing the math, I want to say we can offer up another 200 to 225k on top of the 125k without losing a pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't check the math, but it was mentioned earlier that max we can offer Bush is $450k. Since him and Martin were only $170k vs pool, the max we can offer right now should be $280k.

That's the max the Sox can offer at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I wonder if Davis Martin could have gotten larger bonus if he had signed before Walker and Madrigal got their money. Or, did the White Sox cause the delay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Montgomery shows to be going to Texas Tech on his Twitter feed. EDIT: in February. He's gone ghost from Twitter since. Del Castillo appears headed to U of Miami. They say that the signing deadline is today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Draft Tracker updated. As it stands now, the only draft picks we don't have definitive answers on are those same two, Del Castillo and Montgomery. As for bonus pool, the Sox currently stand $369,500 over pool. So they have roughly $160k to play with still, meaning the max they could offer either is about $285k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly do not want to lose draft pick(s) in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, probably using it as a rehab assignment when he gets back from injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The odds that he is good enough to be a top ten again are incredibly slim, he’s missing out on a lot of money even if the Braves are only offering him a max of 40% of the slot value for the eighth overall pick. Did he not see Brady Aiken? With being said, I do like players who bet on themselves and I’ll be rooting for Stewart and watching him closely next year.

I'm assuming Stewart goes to Juco to get drafted again next year. Will be interesting to see if he becomes a top 3-5 pick next year if health and his year check out.

NorthSideSox72 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Going to add one more post here. Between Baseball America and MLB Pipeline, we now know bonuses on all players signed. So I did some math and put the final numbers near the top of the Tracker here, in case you want to reference that. The player bonuses are all updated too. Good for later use if needed. Here's a fun stat - our back end at FutureSox keeps track of how many times you revise a live article. Our Tracker had 134 revisions this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
