Not necessarily.

Deichmann and Lange were Top 200 draft prospects and fell like stones once they started telling the scouts no.

Ditto for Hess.

All of these kids have a number. We don't know what that number is, and for some of them it might be high enough that it isn't reachable in the 2nd round, or 4th, or 8th or whenever, and you'll just see them tank. Deichmann and Hess went in the 30-somethingth round, and Lange wasn't drafted at all. You just never know.

And the bonus structure has leveled out quite a bit, and I believe the total to spend might even be down this year over last.

THe bonus leveling will make it harder for a team to go way under slot for a guy and bankroll a bunch of money for later picks. Outside the first few teams, you won't see a lot of that anymore.

Thanks, I'm playing catch up on this class because I've been traveling so much. Wasn't there rumors that one of the pearsons or Cabrera have a very financially stable family and they want them to go to college first regardless? Or did I imagine that?
