He was drafted in the 10th round in 2009 and offered bteween $150-200k from the Twins (per his father). He was drafted in the 8th round in 2010 and signed for $35k with the Dodgers. It's not that we don't think he's going to get drafted later, it's that the only way to get more money by returning is if you move up into the first 2 rounds


The what is the point of slotting money in the first place if a team can just pull a number out of thin air?

The older you are the less power you have.... teams have X amount of dollars to spend on all draft picks. The ones they really want they offer above slot money an the ones they don't really care for are usually offered under.
Teams have scouted him since he was a junior in HS they know what he brings to the table by now.
