Kinda surprised Ben Hansen only signed for 50K, being a sophomore. Agreed. He’s not young, maybe the negotiating leverage of going back to school was not as much of an option for him. Hansen did a two-year mission, so he's not a typical DE soph. He's 22 and going to turn 23 next March. He's basically a senior. If he's going to play pro ball, he needs to get started. It's also not like he's a top prospect type who's going to make himself a million going back to school, most likely.

Apropos of nothing, have there ever been any notable JuCo hitter draftees? Harper excluded, that was a rare case.
Not saying Ortiz won’t make it because of it but in my head I was realizing most JuCo guys you see taken are pitchers.

Wasn't Clay Buchholz a JUCO guy?

Tim Anderson is one of the few I can recall in the 1st round since I starting following in the early oughts. Rays SS Jose Caballero is a Chipola guy, as were Jose Bautista, Russell Martin- they would have prob the most as one of the premier Jucos that always has someone drafted every year. I thought Kevin Millar was a well, but I guess he did a year at Lamar

Woke up with this thought on Montgomery - what if the Sox got a better look at his injury and are having 2nd thoughts about his offer? Any chance they have dropped his offer significantly and that is driving the wait? I know there is still time, and they have others that are unsigned as well.
Putting this out there so that some news completely contradicting this thought can come out.

That's right, i forgot about him since he pulled a Harper and went to Juco instead of his SR of HS (in Harper's case his JR and SR years)

Wasn't Clay Buchholz a JUCO guy? He sure was — a two-way player, and there was some question (on this very board) on the day that he was drafted as to whether he was drafted as a pitcher or a position player.

Montgomery got $5m, Tolle got $2m, Cason got $1.25m, per Speier.

Leaves $450k for Futrell in the 10th, plus any day three overslots. Tygart would seem like the only candidate to get extra money

In addition to speaking to how nicely organized the draft was in terms of finding signable guys at good numbers, it tells you that they really think Tolle's legit. If Montgomery hadn't fallen to them at 12, I wonder how close to being top of their board Tolle would have been.

Would have to believe that remainder is going to be enough for Tygart.

If I'm looking at this right, that's the largest post-round 3 bonus the Sox have given out since Ryan Westmoreland in 2008.

Is 1.25M a draft record for a 8th round pick?
Thanks.

Probably shouldn’t be surprised Tolle got $2M but it’s still surprising to me.
Sidenote: Loved the podcast with JC, and his insights on the draft class. Every episode is a must listen.

Looking at the tracker, good chance Tolle got that overslot because he had a deal with the Yankees. They ended up signing a different college pitcher to an overslot deal three picks later
