Or perhaps that player has yet to be drafted. I'm guessing that both 2nd rounders are overslot. Prep players are expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Well this is probably half a million in savings in the last few picks. Hopefully that means they have a bead on someone in 10 or 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It either means Hagen Smith was much closer to slot than we thought, or they have someone set up after the 10th round. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaDoc Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I think Smith was very close to slot. Burns went 2 to Cincy. Bet he took a big discount. Slot value 2 vs 5 difference was 2 million. That's how after 5 rounds and 6 picks, Cincy had 6 MLB top 80 while Sox had 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the rule after the 10th? They can pay whatever they want just don't go over the 5% overage before losing a pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything over $125k counts against your allotment. Anything at or under that number does not. So a million dollar signing means you have to find $875k in savings somewhere else. That isn't counting the 5% overage which can also be utilized, and for the Sox looks like $730k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Everything over $150K counts against the pool. So like last year, they paid Mathias Lacombe $450K. $300K counts against pool. If they made that selection in rounds 1-10, it would cost $450K against the pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was 125k, but yeah, the idea works the same even with a different number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its likely that anyone else exciting will be a Round 11 or later pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
