NorthSideSox72 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 That's slot value. What to do with remaining pool and potential overage? Read about the scenarios here, including possibility of grabbing one more significant prospect. Draft Tracker also updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didn't have a plan to go a bit over though, wouldn't they have given him the extra $100,000? It doesn't really make any sense to sit on that $$. They can offer Hickman or one of the other guys over $400,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may or may not go into that 5% range, though I sure as heck hope they do since it is probably the difference maker here. At worst, I bet they grab one of the other two who might sign for less. But it probably takes that full 450k or so to get Mike Hickman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Nice to see Fulmer sign hope they get created with money left and get a good player over slot. Edited July 3, 2015 by Soxfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they get him too, but remember this is a high school catcher we're talking about. Would be shocked if he reached the majors in less than 4-5 years, if ever. Won't be helping any time soon.
