Here are my "super wicked early speculative gut-check predictions" for the 2018 signing season. I don't have any inside info behind this yet, these predictions are just based on gut feel and years of history of making these projections. These initial guesstimates have usually been decently solid projections in years past, but they're just that - projections with a significant amount of possible variability. Especially this year, when the club seems to have shifted philosophies fairly significantly. Feedback is welcome and appreciated. I will update as more info comes in and as opinions evolve.
Top Ten Rounds (entire amount counts towards bonus cap)
Round, Overall Pick, Player, Projected Bonus
1 Triston Casas $2,700,000 (reportedly already signed)
2 Nick Decker $1,100,000

7 Jarren Duran $189,900
8 Elih Marrero $10,000

10 Grant Williams $5,000
After 10th round, above $125K (first $125,000 does not count towards bonus cap)
11 Nick Northcutt $600,000 (Red Sox expect to sign him)
12 Chase Shugart $250,000 (Still playing in College WS)
