This is certainly why Jay has said he rather invest into transfers and returning players than HS recruits. We’ve definitely had some signees get drafted that had success and would have been superstars in college, but there is a bunch of those guys that flamed out too.

he actually said he would rather invest in high school players and build them up through the program than the portal every year

The unrealistic expectations fans will have of Schmidt if he gets here will be out of control.

always lol at least he isn’t as raw as Cam Johnson lol

You are the #5 pick in the draft and you have all the leverage in the world you do not take 2 mill under slot. Maybe you take 500K under slot but not 2 mill. Don't know what their thinking was accepting 2 mill less. Maybe a deal under the table that we don't know about would be my guess for the 2 mill under slot. Maybe they buy his family a new home who knows.

the first 2 picks in last year draft both took over 2.5M+ under slot deals

What’s

2-2.5M was the rumor

if your referring to Hirschkorn his number was 4M..Ppl in the industry said it, Jay said it, and the Braves paid him basically exactly 4M

Not $5m, but certainly seems like he stuck to his number.

---

his number was 4M

and they just drafted a high school pitcher that will probably cost them

there def is unless these kids would sign for pennies compared to what their original number was

quote:

Yeah, I still don’t think we’re out of the woods on some guys. Round 11 opens back up a lot of extra money. If teams really go low on the next 5 picks, they can splurge on round 11.

---

that’s even more rare though…I do wonder if we see teams just draft players for the hell of it in those rounds because of the new format and try to work out something after

how should we feel about this one? lol didn’t know much about him

may have to restart…mine was doing the same
