    Exactly. That's why I'll be surprised if we lose all 4 of them.

    Agreed Commerce. A lot of guys are only offered $25,000 take it or leave it. One note is that I think a team can pay over $150K. But if they do, any amount over the $150k counts toward the slot pool. So you would only offer over $150,000 to a round 11-20 player if you had left over slot money from rounds 1-10. But offering a round 11-20 player LESS than $150K does not give you extra money to spend elsewhere. I could be somewhat wrong on this, but it probably won't matter in the case of Hunt, Fristoe, and James anyway.

    Teams can definitely pay more than 150K. Mari Boyd was an 11th rounder and just signed for 647,500.

    It will be announced. He's among several guys that signed that it says has agreed to terms, on mlb. But the amount isn't out yet. It will be. It's public knowledge

    If they paid him that, they have lost their minds.... he had zero leverage. Well, not true, he could have gone to juco.... but that's nuts. He can run like the wind... avg arm at best, .... below avg hitter and won't project to be above avg ever I don't even think avg. and same w power.
    ETA forgot who drafted him. Phillies. Go figure.

    Yeah pretty much everyone knew he'd get a little over slot, well accept for one or two.

    They can but very very few teams do. in fact less than half the players even get the 150k. Most are gonna get 50-75k. Just go look at what guys in rounds 11-20 got in the last couple years.

    Yeah the slot value was a minimum value for Sims. I talked directly to the head of SA for the Reds and he told me straight to my face that he didn’t think they could afford Sims at 32. They definitely wanted him and I was also told that LoTan would sign for anything 6 figures and check it out, he signed for less than slot value for his spot.

    We have some pretty well connected people on here but we also have a lot of blowhards as well.

    Considering they signed pick 18 at almost 2 million over slot they had to look elsewhere otherwise Sims would be in Reds organization along with LoTan.

    That's why they take him in that slot. To save 150k for another guy. He had no choice

    I know, but they could have thrown him a bone and given him 10K. I guess he can always say he was a 10th round draft pick.
