2018 Draft Results | Signings, Bonuses and Rumors

[THANOS]

I got a new phone and for some reason I can't see embedded tweets right now, anyone know how to fix that?

 

Samsung? If so, the samsung browser won't embedded tweets due to the ad blockers, but if you use Crome you'll be fine .

They are running out of space to recoup that 500k they are over.

You understand that all of these bonuses are predetermined at the point of selection, right? Why people worry over this boggles my mind. If they were going to be over, they wouldn't have selected the players that they selected.

Why people react to an observation on a discussion board with vitriol and assumptions boggles my mind! No where did I say I was worried, I am curious to where they are going to find the savings. From what I have read Conine was not expected to need to go too much under slot. Since this is a discussion board perhaps we can discuss it instead. :-)

Lol, yup. Especially since going over their pool by more than allowed would result in penalties they certainly don't want to incur.

[Krylian]

Zomg!! Three jayzzz ar going to exceed the cap!!!1!!1!

The two Seniors (Bec and Brodt) are the only ones who haven't had their bonus announced yet, so obviously the savings can only come from them LOL.

[Slade]

Anyone know if they are starting Wymer or leaving him in a relief role?

[BlueRocky]

They’d probably pull a Biagini and let him start till he fails, but I rather see an elite reliever. His college performance in starting role vs bullpen wasn’t even close

[Krylian]

In the minors? Starting, without a doubt. The point is to get as many innings under his belt as he can to develop and hone his craft. Get the innings under his belt so he's ready sooner than later.

[Brownie19]

We'll probably get all the savings from Bec. College seniors get like $5K - $10K

[burlingtonbandit]

Lol the agents of those players could screw the entire draft up for the Jays by demanding more $.

I highly doubt that these no-name Seniors have agents. These are dudes that are just happy to get a chance to play. Even if they did have agents, you realize that agents have their own reputation to uphold, right? That is why they don't pull crap like that (ie: all of a sudden demanding more money).

Oh I know it wouldn't happen but I think one of those senior players didn't sign a couple years back with the Jays and it cost them over 200K in pool space.

 

Conine would have an agent for sure.

Zack Zehner? If he's the one you were thinking of, he had eligibility left and went back to school.

[Mikeleelop]

i would guess that jays got the remainder of the required savings from the signing of Senior C Chris Bec. He is already playing in Vancouver. But that is just my opinion because i can't find any information online

 

Conine deal is close to done but nothing finalized. Maybe he's going to Bluefield?

Safe to assume the majority of savings came from that pick, but if I'm reading it all correctly, Conine will be coming in slightly underslot as well.

Round 02 - Griffin Conine: Signed for 1.35M

Conine in the GCL lineup today

[Todd]

Here is a question for you. Is Ryan and Patrick Thurston the same guy

or are they brothers signed by the blue jays

I think they are Jays prospects 104 and 105 for you.

[Krylian]

No. They're ahead of Alford. 102-103.

[Krylian]

As long as we've signed Christopher Bec for no more than $76,897 we'll stay within the 5% overage.
