If you'd like a thread like that, start one.Any chance we can have another thread to discuss Neighborgall or failed draft picks in general? I keep thinking there is going to be additional signing news whenever this thread is replied to.
Not likely. The org has approx. $1.75mm remaining in its pool (including the 5% overage allowance). If everyone signs on the low end of speculated ranges (Rogers $300k, Meidroth $150k, Dean $344k (slot) and Brannon $600k), that leaves $350k to sign players beyond the 10th round. Add in the $125,000 exclusion for post 10th round signings and the Red Sox could offer Kilen approx. $475k. Not a pittance, but it may not be sufficient to sign Kilen. It may be enough to sign one or both of the other HS picks (Sanders, Jones)I'm guessing there is no way they can get Kilen?
Where he's ranked similar to Dean, does he just get more because he has leverage being a HS kid?Not likely. The org has approx. $1.75mm remaining in its pool (including the 5% overage allowance).

Yes. Dean will get slot, more or less, because his rankings are roughly equivalent to where he was picked. Should be an straightforward negotiation. Kilen's reps would likely argue that he should get a 3rd/4th round bonus, given his higher MLB/PG rankings and his leverage to attend college. I would think $500k would do it, but I'm not sure the Red Sox can get there. The Red Sox likely already know Kilen's number and whether there's any chance of getting to it.Where he's ranked similar to Dean, does he just get more because he has leverage being a HS kid?
Anthony can be a worse deal and still be worth it. And/or the club might just have a differing evaluation of him.It's curious how all this works when Romero is our 10th ranked prospect and Anthony slots at 32 despite getting the bigger bonus. It's close (2.5 to 2.3) but 22 spots? Coffey was ahead of Anthony too at 31.
Also surprised there isn't more news about Bryant Zayas. Weird seeing a top HS (214 on perfect game) recruit being a UDFA signing. I know it was mentioned on page 8.

According to Jim Callis of MLB.com, 17th-round draft pick Deundre Jones has signed with @redsox for $125k, so that should have no impact on Boston’s ability to sign Kilen or Sanders.Not likely.

Yeah. Slot alone was 1.85.If rumored numbers were right, Jud lost around a million?

Yay, even as a Gator multi-game attendee I am happy his brain (and his dad’s) gets recalibrated to the negative.If rumored numbers were right, Jud lost around a million?

This is the guy. Thought he was a backup sign unless a higher pick bailed. Very excited to have him. He can hit.Stoked about Brooks Brannon! Kid seems like a winner and is super-happy to be with the Sox. Great signing.
Most picks in the top 10 rounds are made with confidence that they’ll sign. If not, it’s a loss of pool money.This is the guy. Thought he was a backup sign unless a higher pick bailed. Very excited to have him. He can hit.
I never really noticed the complete dearth of corner OF prospects in the system, mostly because players can be moved to the OF... but wow. Tyler Dearden has a claim if one considers Gilberto a CF.I'm hoping that Anthony shines. It would be nice to have a good corner OF prospect in the system .
Yes. They did well.So, as far as crapshoots go, we should be pleased with this draft class?
Agreed, I’m hoping the whiff of Jason Place I’m getting is just residual prospect trauma…I'm hoping that Anthony shines. It would be nice to have a good corner OF prospect in the system .
RF is always tricky because players need arm strength to make the throws, so you do sort of want guys that play that spot. Maybe Boston gets lucky, wins the draft lottery, and ends up with Crews as their RF of the future.I never really noticed the complete dearth of corner OF prospects in the system, mostly because players can be moved to the OF... but wow.
