I'd be interested in knowing what percentage of 1st round draft picks get to MLB that signed out of HS.
"Did we ever figure out if Turang would be a draft eligible SO? Like I mentioned in the other thread, I'm way more optimistic of him coming if he only has to stay 2 years."

He would not be draft eligible after Sophomore year, so he'd have to be on campus for 3 years.
Yeah, but that's subjective. What was the competition he was facing? As an example, Turang's numbers this year were .352, 5 hr's, 21 rbi's.

I'm always hesitant to say "who's good, who's not" based upon high school numbers.

Hughes competed here freshman year, was solid in field, in top conference in country and we hope can continue to develop and improve offensively.

As any knowledgable college coach will tell you, he has "upside".

Don't misunderstand, I'm not claiming he's the "be all, end all", but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt and see if he develops this year before writing him off.
It'll be interesting how it plays out. Keep in mind if Brewers don't sign Turang, then they lose that slot money (as you said a little over $3 million), it's not like they can just spend that money elsewhere.

Brewers could go to $3.5 million on their offer and basically have same amount of money to spend on other top 10 picks (as you are allowed to slightly go over before penalties kick in). They saved slot money for sure in rounds 6,7 and 10 with the college sr's and if Gray and Bello sign anywhere below slot in round 2, then they can probably get to $3.7 pretty easily.

Would Turang turn down $3.7 if his number coming in was $4 million? Can't imagine that happening but we'll see.
Brice was never making it to campus. # was $2.5 mil, which he'll easily get with Brewers.

Moving on.
