2016 SEC MLB Draft Thread

They are still going to need more just to sign Rutherford. His slot is 2.4 and they will need 3.3+

They have over that saved now.


@jimcallisMLB: 5th-rder Dom Thompson-Williams signs w/@Yankees for $250k (pick 158 = $341k). South Carolina OF, power/speed combo, some ? on bat. @MLBDraft
 
I've got the Yankees saving roughly $850,000 which is basically what Matts said they would need to get Rutherford.
 
@jimcallisMLB: Srs: @Athletics 9th rd D.Sawyer $45k; @Padres 9th rd J.Scholtens $1k; @Yankees 9th rd T.Lynch $10k; @Reds 10th rd L.Benenati $5k @MLBDraft


Look at that. 1k for a 9th rounder
 
I would not expect Vincent to get any where near $100,000.00. He was a senior and simply does not have much negotiating room. I hope I am wrong and the Cardinals are getting a solid prospect. Good luck to him. Great young man and great family.

More than likely got 1-5k.

The 1st post is as up-to-date as I can get it to this point. Some of the last guys left may take some more time before signing. I know the Anderson kid hasn't graduated HS yet.

Yes, & he can't sign until he graduates. I can't believe any high school in the United States hasn't finished the school year yet.

Thanks a million 31.
 
The Twins have agreed to sign supplemental second-rounder Jose Miranda and 11th-round choice Tyler Benninghoff, writes Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com. Miranda, a Puerto Rican shortstop, will land $775K. That’s a good deal less than the value of the 73rd pick ($878,500).

BA had Miranda as the 113th-ranked player in the draft and praised his offensive abilities, though the outlet expects him to move to second or third base. Benninghoff, BA’s 201st-rated prospect, will collect the highest bonus ($600K) thus far of anyone outside of this year’s first 10 rounds.

$600K? For an outside the top 10 round pick? How in the world did this happen?
 
If someone drafted was a senior, I bolded them to show they would not be returning to school. In a twist, would-be-senior pitcher at Ole Miss, Brady Bramlett has decided to not sign, but instead focus only on academics his senior year. No baseball.

Tony,

Going to try to make this make sense with hypothetical numbers.

Team has 10mil in pool $. They use 9mil to sign top 10 round picks.

They saved 1mil.

Anything over 100k after round 10 counts against that pool $. So they can go sign 2 other picks for 600k outside of the top 10 rounds.

This is the reason we are still worried about liggenfelter because so far the Yankees have saved about 1mil in the signings. Good news is they still have their 3 top guys left to sign

Wow. That's surprising!

Thanks for the explanation buddy.
 
And NS got more than the overall number 1.


@jimcallisMLB: No. 1 overall pick Mickey Moniak signs w/@Phillies for $6.1 mil (pick value = $9,015,000). California HS CF, plus bat/run/defense. @MLBDraft
