I found the specific bonuses here ....http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/2014-draft-assigned-pick-values-for-top-10-rounds/
I suspect that they will be able save the following amounts...
McEvoy $250 k Mars. $110k Riley $75k Moore $100 k Sturgeon $125k
Total $660 k
Some of this excess may go to Steen, but I suspect that there may be around $500k available for a tough sign or two.

Anyone know the dollar values for the Red Sox top 10 picks? I am hoping that they can save enough through under slot signings to sign one or two guys who have slipped so far in the 2014 due to signability concerns. 1-26 $1,870,500 (Chavis) 1-33 $1,678,000 (Kopech) 2 $846,800 (Travis) 3 $509,400 (Cosart) 4 $377,600 (McAvoy) 5 $282,800 (Ockimey) 6 $211,800 (Mars) 7 $163,500 (Reilly) 8 $152,700 (Moore) 9 $142,600 (Steen) 10 $137,600 (Sturgeon) Keep in mind a couple of things. First, Steen is not signing before the deadline and, if he signs, will likely be above slot. Second, I'll assume the first four picks sign at slot or close to it. If it's less, it's a bonus. Third, the team will likely save some money with McAvoy, Ockimey, Mars, Reilly, Moore and Sturgeon. For the sake of argument, let's assume they save $800k (some of which they will need for Steen). Fourth, lots of teams went for senior signs this year, therefore, I'd expect lots of teams to adopt the Theo/Ben strategy to draft signability guys (and there aren't that many of them this year). Therefore, prepare to be disappointed tomorrow if you think the Red Sox are going to grab all the shiny toys. My guess is that you'll see some mid-tier guys grabbed.

None of the Top 100 guys would sign for the money we have left. Longhi, Speier, Burkamper, J.Williams were all 200-500 guys that were overslot guys. There will be plenty left for use to choose from. While it's true more College Seniors were chose it's only like 10-15 more so it's not like every team just punted rounds 6-10.

I like the Ockimey pick. At least he has the high upside raw material. Looks like an athlete. His swing isn't that bad in this video: I agree. We're not talking about a long swing or a gaping hole, it's a weight shift. It's weird, but it's working now, and he does appear to be a solid athlete. I'm sure it's going to take a lot of work, but it will be interesting to follow.

Ian Browne ?@ianmbrowne 2h
Red Sox' Amiel Sawdaye on Ben Moore, who played the outfield at Alabama. "He's going to catch."

BA bio: Moore has value as a consistent three-year producer in the Southeastern Conference, though he is also a righthanded-hitting college corner outfielder profile without notable secondary skills. So some scouts see him more as a senior sign for next year, while others like his production (.304/.371/.470 in his career) in the top 10 rounds. He has advanced bat-to-balls skills with a career strikeout rate of 9 percent, while walking at an 8 percent clip. The knock against him is that he hasn’t hit well on Fridays (against teams' best starters) and doesn’t make much in the way of impact contact (.317 BABIP). The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder projects to be an average defender in the outfield corners after catching in the early part of his career. I can see why they want him at catcher ... that's a pretty underwhelming report for a corner outfielder, but that offense plays at catcher. If he works at catching, he would have a chance of making it.
