I’m excited for the melt on the rant when Johnson is taken in the 14th round

Reminds me of all the “know it alls” that swore Noot would never step on campus last year.

Johnson will more than likely get drafted in rounds 17 through 20 but will not sign. Several years ago, the Mets drafted Kumar Rocker 10th overall, but he failed his physical and didn't sign. They received an extra pick in the next draft, but they lost pool money allocated for that pick that could have been used for another player. Now, clubs draft unsigned top 100 players with their last few picks as "insurance" just in case something like this happens. Two LSU commits were drafted by the Brewers in last year's draft for this reason.


MLB teams have to sign the players in the top 10 rounds to use whatever leftovers they have. There is no “I didn’t sign my second rounder I have all of this to use”

Edit: I think we’re in agreement

Yeah he contradicted himself in the next sentence. Maybe he meant the “insurance” of rounds 17-20 are for the 11th and 12th round picks.

This MLB draft stuff is extremely intricate and can get confusing. That’s why I’m steering away from the Rant with regards to the draft. I appreciate all you guys knowledge here.

1pm.

Also, Nolan Cain has been promoted to Associate Head Coach at A&M. I feel like that doesn't happen if he doesn't entertain other offers.

It’s funny that he said a couple weeks ago that none of his assistants would leave for anything but head coaching jobs and then he lost Yeskie and now they had to promote Cain to keep him from leaving

You are correct, my mistake. I didn't realize pick value for unsigned players draft in the first 10 rounds is deducted from their overall pool. Then I have no idea why clubs pick unsigned players at the end of the draft who already turned down seven figures. That would be insulting! They either think you are stupid or desperate.
