Getting Jared Dickey for $150k just doesn't seem right.

Another year of school could make him a lot of money.

They’ll have to come up off that.

I feel like they will dig into their bonus pool a bit to exceed the 125k that usually is paid out with these picks.

Isn't there a rule that if they offer more than that, it counts against the bonus pool?

But the $150,000.00 doesn’t after round 10, look at the run on 4 year Jr.’s right now…KC is hoping to save some money early to pay Dickey over slot.

 

[Weezer]

I will not so secretly hope they can't afford him.

Yes, I know that's just wishful thinking.

Round 13

 

[Volfan1000]

Great question. Been asking it myself. It's a mystery. Could be coming in the portal? I'm wondering if Tony will play his best defensive SS given the power in his lineup, or opt with a better hitter/lesser defender? I'm not even sure who the candidates are besides Jazzy and Kendro. Would he play a freshman at short? I doubt it.

Vitello should go with the best defensive option first at shortstop and the rest of the lineup should be good offensively to take up the slack.

Galanie goes to the White Sox in the 13th Round. Will be interesting to see what ends up happening there.

 

[Weezer]

Galanie taken by the White Sox.

 

[vol66]

Galanie to White Sox

 

[Weezer]

Do the Sox pay him, or is he a Vol?

This is iffy. He’s a fourth year senior.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

13th round. Interesting. This will be a close one. Not exactly a high draft pick, but we have no idea what the number he is looking for is. I would guess he is gone just due to his age but you never know.

 

[931Vol]

White Sox have a similar situation to the Royals, in that, they have invested in some older college guys meaning that they should have some money to potentially go overslot with Galanie if they really wanted to. Doesn’t mean they will, considering he’s a 4th year senior.

[Weezer]

Me right now:

 

[vol66]

Oops, Round 14

 

[6-4-3]

They’ll have to come up off that.

Honestly, if he is offered the $150k he should take it. He may get above slot, but not sure. Outside of his offensive metrics, he doesn’t grade out very high in other areas as much as some people think.

Zach Joyce

 

[Weezer]

Zach Joyce drafted by the Angels. Reunite the brothers.

 

[931Vol]

Zach Joyce goes to the Angels to be reunited with his brother. Pretty cool

 

[vol66]

Fitzgibbons too

 

[Weezer]

Fitzgibbons to the DBacks.

 

[931Vol]

And Fitzgibbons goes right after him.
