So i dont keep up with the money aspect per pick. But if he improves from a 12th rounder to a top 4 rounder and has proven his worth.. teams really lowball like that?



Yes, seniors get almost nothing.

umm yea, cause you have zero leverage. they have no reason to pay you, still unproven.

They 1) would take him later in the draft or 2) Yes, he would take WAY under slot because he has to do so. No other option.

4th round slot value is $570k-$430k. And teams don’t offer full slot to 5th year seniors.

It’s a business, they will pay you the least a mount of dollars they can.

If you have to choose between $10K bonus and going to the minors or leaving baseball, it’s not a difficult decision.

I wish y’all would stop talking about leverage. The best way to get more money is to play your way into a day 1 pick.

Most day 1 picks are not coming out of their 4th or 5th year of college baseball

Blue Jays draft someone named Samuel Hernandez Ten. I guess Leonard Part Six was unavailable.

Considering very few seniors go in the first round, this is a dumb take

Kevin Kopps from Arkansas had no leverage last year, he got picked in the 3rd round and got only $300k in a slot worth about double that. He was lucky to get even that.

That was after one of the most epic last years a player could have in college baseball. He had 0.89 ERA over 89.2 innings with 131 K's to just 18 BB.

You must be a gambler. This is a pretty big gamble. I’d say not the best odds either especially in Gervase’s situation.

Then the whole system needs an overhaul to incentivize staying in school
