Unrelated to the Jays but Mark Appel signing below slot.

Nice for them. That gives them at least 1.2mm to spread around just from that pick alone. However looking at their draft list, they didn't really take anyone that would be a very difficult sign, even in the later rounds, and certainly no one I would want to give 1.2mm to.

 

10th-Austin Nicely, LHP

11th-Devonte German, RHP

35th-Kacy Clemens, RHP

 

I guess they could spread the 1.2mm to both Nicely and German, or give it all to Clemens who I don't think is worth it.

Probably the best place to put this, here's a video of Rodon interviewing after kicking UNC's ass.

How did Houston manage that???

 

You're the number one pick. Drafted by an absolutely terrible team. And you sign for less than slot value???

With Boras as the advisor no less... It has to have been a pre draft deal. Maybe Houston offered both him and Gray the same money, and said whoever accepts is the number 1 pick. Whoever doesn't likely falls to third (3rd slot is less than that value). They might also have a handshake agreement that he's called up no later than a certain date to start his clock too.

You have leverage when drafted as a junior. You have none as a senior!

This.

 

Mark Appel is a Houston native; Boras and Luhnow are good friends.

guaranteeing that he starts his Major league clock next year. Why fight for $1M when being called up this year might mean you hit free agency earlier and potentially a super 2. If he asks for slot he probably drops again...Boras isn't stupid. Only thing that might stop Appel from being up by September is the 106 innings he already pitched this year.

withholding their pool is huge leverage. He didn't have to sign by July 15th. Positive they had a pre-draft deal though

Good info on Appel and some on the draft signing intricacies. Thanks guys.

[Angrioter]

Pirates sign 1st-rder Reese McGuire for $2,369,000.

[ace3113]

5th rounder Daniel Lietz LHP signed for $200k -- slot was $334k

7th rounder Connor Greene RHP signed for $100k -- slot was $187.4k

10th rounder Garrett Custon C signed for $1k -- slot was $136.7k

Really? He doesn't even seem that bad. Beauty.

[StevieRay]

I have a hunch that all these savings from round 3-10 would barely be enough for the extra amount bickford is demanding. With 2nd rd signing for full slot, I think we won't be getting either Brentz or Tellez. Just a hunch.

[GD]

Please, please get Brentz. I would actually rather him over Bickford.

[GD]

I don't care one bit if they sign Bickford, next year is a better draft.

 

Lefty with plus velo + #10 in a weak draft > righty with plus velo

yea I like bickford, if we can sign him all the better, but if not its not the end of the world

[Angrioter]

Alex Azor signer for a hot dog.

Juan Nicasio for 1k

Known savings

Patrick Murphy: $150,800

Evan Smith: $96,100

Daniel Lietz: $134,000

Connor Greene: $87,400

Garrett Custons: $135,800

Total space created: $604,100

 

We need to get up to at least 1mm to get Brentz.

[jays_fever]

What happens to seniors if they dont sign with the team that drafted them?

[Angrioter]

What hauuppens to seniors if they dont sign with the team that drafted them?

 

Free agents bro. Jays signed about 6 players

[Angrioter]

$5,247,200 to 5 players (Bickford, Hollon, Boyd, Graveman and Girodo).

If we can saves 1M then Tellez/Brentz/Tewes will be there.

Used the wrong draft budget originally.

what is the running list? it doesn't seem to have been posted in an updated version for a while. anyone keeping tabs so they can post the list as it stands today?? it would be good to see the list every time there is a change.

 

thanks to anyone who can make it happen.

[DuckDuckGose]

IMO Bickford will be independent of Brentz or Tellez (who seems like a pipe-dream at this point). Frazier got $3.5M, Shipley $2.25M, Smith $2.6M, McGuire $2.4M, Bickford should be somewhere in that range as well.

 

If AA needs to save money for Bickford it will come from the few guys not yet signed. It's pretty clear AA is going over-slot after round 10, he isn't going to overpay Bickford and eat in to that pool. IMO Bickford will get inked around slot or he'll go to college for that reason.

A poster by the name of MjwW over at BlueBirdBanter has been keeping a running tab. This is his table;

[DuckDuckGose]

Bickford 3M, i guees

 

I can see AA going ~100k-300k over slot. No way Bickford should get much more considering the advantages of having a top 10 pick in next years deep draft (talent + budget space).

Trey Ball 2.8-3M
