Turning down 1.5 million to play college baseball is ridiculously stupid.

ProjectP, it's my understanding that starting tomorrow with the 11th round through the 30th round that all draft positions have the same "slot" value of $125,000.
Teams can offer less, of course, but if they sign someone from rounds 11-30 for more than $125,000 they have to get the extra amount from a round 1-10 signee who signs for less than their slot amount or from a round 11-30 signee that signs for less than $125,000.
Is that correct?

a 1.9 is for someone desperate. The average girl is a 5.0

These are baseball young adults. Baseball college kids most people I think agree, are a lot smarter than the average college football or basketball student athlete. Never fails to blow my mind how many supposed football or basketball graduates cannot string together proper sentences during an interview. Young man sees the big picture.

Interesting, random post.

Why? He could double that in 3 years while having the time of his life.

I don’t know what happened I am not educated on how the baseball draft works according to everyone. All I’m saying is it isn’t uncommon for a team to reach out very early on in the process or just a few hours before to see that if a certain number would convince a player to sign. That dosent always mean it’s an offer, it’s accessing the kids signability. People are always throwing around that a kid turned down money when usually there was no offer at all.

quote:And sometimes (often) there is an offer. They teams WANT to sign the players they get in the top ten rounds. So they get a figure agreement before they make a pick. That happens 98% of the time. No one wants an Appel situation again where they have to go back on their word. It’s rare when a physical shows something worth pulling that offer.

all I been trying to say was none of the “offers” mean shite until a kid puts a pen to the paper.

If a kid is drafted in rounds 1-10 the negotiations took place before the pick. Teams won't risk losing the value if they can't sign a 1-10 pick. Almost every kid who shows up on campus was offered a substantial amount of money out of high school. You seldom hear about it because most family's are smart enough not to put it out on social media. Dup,Zach, and Zach are all coming back btw

Going for the downvote record?

No just sitting here laughing about how many people will lose sleep over this thread. God bless the rant.

There are a lot of picks in rounds 1-10 that don’t sign. Guess the players lied about how much they would sign for. Lol
In 2016 only two picks in the top ten rounds did not sign. In 2017 it was three and two were medical. Not sure where you are getting "a lot" from. Here's my facts. Where's yours?
quote:
Last year, teams set a record by signing all but two picks in the top ten rounds, or 98.6% of all top ten round picks. Pittsburgh Pirates first round pick Nick Lodolo was the highest pick that didn’t sign, and after a decent freshman season at TCU, he looks to be on track to be a first round pick again in 2019.
The other unsigned pick was Tyler Buffet, who could have pushed for about $200,000 from the Houston Astros, but instead decided to return for his senior season at Oklahoma State. After a rough year as a starter, he was picked in the sixth round by the Cincinnati Reds and signed for $70,000 - a lot for a senior, but less than he would’ve received last year.
This year, there were three unsigned picks in the top ten rounds. The Tampa Bay Rays picked Drew Rasmussen in the supplemental first round, but he didn’t sign due to issues with his medicals. He will return to Oregon State as a redshirt junior next year with eyes on the first round in 2018.
The other two unsigned picks were prep pitchers. The Baltimore Orioles selected Jack Conlin in the first round, and could’ve offered him more than $1.2 million to sign, but they too were scared off by medical reports, and refused to offer any contract. Conlin is now an unrestricted free agent, who can sign with any team without limitations of draft pools. Or he could decide to go to Texas A&M.
The Los Angeles Angels picked Joseph “JoJo” Booker in the fifth round, and could’ve offered him up to $370,000 to sign. However, he chose to honor his commitment to South Alabama. This was in large part to his desire to continue playing with his long-time catcher and friend, Angels’s 15th round pick Hunter Brittain in college.

I figure I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but it is what it is.

I could be wrong because I'm fuzzy on certain parts of the draft as well but I believe they lose a draft pick the next year?
That sounds right. I don’t think teams would risk that for somebody they didn’t want in the first 10 rounds.
