RandyMarsh Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Brandon Inge could hold a baker's dozen and hit a golf ball 300 yards while doing so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sign 18+ of the 21 drafted I will be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't even throw one for a strike early in his career. He was a better pitcher after 30 than before 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may just be expectation setting in the event that something doesn't work out. I just think if they bring in Anderson for closer to $1 mil versus $1.9 (his slot value), along with the fact that there are probably a couple of other underslot candidates mixed in, they can make up some decent ground in all likelihood. Some of it will depend on what McGonigle gets as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edman85 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Some of the under slot guys HAVE to be signed already, just not reported. You can't sign the over slot guys first just in case everybody is hit by a bus and your denominator is thrown off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at things though, we know Clark got appx. 700K less than slot, Hamm 42K, and the JUCO catcher got 250K of that. So going down the list say Anderson took 1M (bank 900K), Lee takes 200K(bank 145K), Minton and Sears take 100K each ( bank 150K) that gives you appx 1.6 mil to throw around. You may be able to get Minton for less because is he an SR signing. Will be an interesting 11 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee, Sears and Minton strike me as being underslot guys.... the Day 3 High Schoolers, like Andrew Dunford or Ethan Farris, seem like the challenge to me. Can they cover all those guys plus McGonigle with the money leftover? Ed is probably right that they probably have a good idea of that answer already based on having contracts in place that we don't know about.

As a said, get your under slot guys signed first so you know how much you have to work with, and in case everybody is hit by a bus so you aren't over 105%. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB Pipeline disagrees. 2 (45): Max Anderson, 2B, Nebraska -- (Pick value: $1,906,200) Anderson has signed for an undisclosed bonus, believed to be under slot. “I was just looking for a team to give me a shot, really,” he said on a call with reporters. “I mean, money wasn’t really a question for me, in all honesty. I’m a baseball player; I’ve got an advisor to worry about the money side.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
