This isn't necessarily true. With the reduction of minor league teams, you don't have to stockpile so many picks, so saving slot money to go after higher end folks is the name of the game. It's why the Braves traded what they did for the comp. 1st round pick the other day. They want more pool money (2.2 million dollars more) and not necessarily whoever they draft in that spot.
Kids might get picked in the first 5 rounds with teams knowing full well they are going to low ball to either try and steal a kid and/or save on pool money to sign other kids. Or low ball seniors and save pool money.
MLB has had to get smart with NIL now directly competing with their college talent pool. Guys in the 3rd through 5th round can go to college and get some decent money now if you go below slot, which some teams will do.
I'll be interested to see how teams spend money this year. But I don't think it's a guarantee guys are gone in certain rounds because the money has to be right.

What I said is absolutely true. Teams don't take many chances on guys they can't sign in the first ten rounds . I know how it works. If they go in the first ten rounds don't count on seeing them. It doesn't mean they aren't a top ten round prospect if they are taken. Just the teams don't like the players signability.
