    Bacon

    Not sure how real of a concern this is for braves' fans; but according to braves' message board poster, the braves currently have $430,260 to sign bacon and 6 college seniors (round 5-10). Slot for bacon is $487,400. Could signing bacon potentially be an issue for the braves? The braves went over slot for Kyle wright and drew waters (2nd round pick)

    Bacon likely agreed to a below-slot amount before being drafted. None of this is a surprise to the Braves, I'm sure. And Waters was actually below slot, Tarnok was above.

    One of the things I agree with Enscheff on is that clv doesn't often have any idea of what he's talking about haha. It's something to monitor but not something I would be concerned about.

    Which is why I have bacon with dinner more often than I do with breakfast.

    I like thick cut bacon and it needs to be crispy. If it will stand up in a Bloody Mary it is cooked correctly.
    These food threads are fun.***

    Add an additional 484,000 to that. That amounts to 4.9% overage which gets you taxed at 75% of that but doesn't cost any future picks. They will get all of them signed.

    ^this, assuming the prior figure didnt account for that. Those seniors will get about $50k total. Should be plenty left to sign him.
