And Marques Johnson got 122.5K according to BA's tracker. That closes the book on this draft (although not really, since Ehrlicher's status is still up in the air.)

Ramsey signed for 97.5K Godman signed for 122.5K and Butler signed for 72.5K
All according to MLB's draft tracker.
Also, I made my lifeong dream of beating out vermontsox1 come true.

I may be adding things up wrong here but I can imagine a scenario where Rodgers, Merideth, and Dean don't break the bank and the Sox still have 250K + 125K to throw at another HS guy. Kilen is a pipe dream I assume but is Sanders signable??? It would be nice, because if theres' one thing this system needs right now it's a young SS. Might not be too hard to find a reasonable way to splash 200k around in the expanded UDFA market with only 20 rounds. Has any UDFA got over 125k leaguewide this year? Most likely one of the draftees expected to sign is gonna get that extra money though I would guess.

My guess is still more likely to be no on those two, but definitely would not rule them out. For all we know Zayas got over slot. It might be the reason he opted to go pro.

He’s faced 42 batters as a pro. 20(!) of those batters have reached base. That ain’t gonna cut it. That kid needs more time in the minors to develop. He’s not a finished product yet. Update on Pedro Clemens after another inning today: He’s faced 51 batters as a pro and 26 have reached base. Minor Leaguers are pros too.

His build and swing really remind me of Christian Yelich.

Nice! A yearly tradition.
Why would Butler and Goodman not sign, being college seniors?

Note: after the 10th round teams can spend up to 150K without it hurting the team's bonus pool (it used to be 125K). That's not an insignificant difference.

You guys use a different list from Perfect Game than vermontsox1 is on the forum. He had different rankings for:
Brannon Brand Dean Rogers Anthony Romero Coffey
Which list is the correct one?

Post by soxfanatic on Jul 19, 2022 3:31:20 GMT -5
Other ranks: BA: #140 PG: #168 Kiley McDaniel: #134 Longenhagen had Dean at #119, noting: Dean has a mid-90s fastball that has peaked in the 98-100 mph area, but typically sits 93-96 with big carry. His arm action is extremely long, and it would seem to be low-hanging developmental fruit to shorten him up and hope it makes his fastball command and breaking ball more consistent. The fastball velocity and carry here give Dean late-inning ceiling if that happens.

Meidroth and Rogers were both listed as honorable mentions on Fangraphs (Longenhagen) top 126 list. (as were Coffey and Anthony BTW, they both didn't make his top 126). Interestingly enough, Brooks Brannon didn't make the cut at all.
The short write ups:
Rogers: Athletic lefty, gorgeous arm action, average fastball and breaking ball.
Meidroth: Meidroth has incredible feel for contact and bat control, but had throwing accuracy issues at second base and projects, for me, in the outfield.

Brannon kinda reminds me of the Jon Denney pick years ago. I was so excited about that pick. How he had us fooled...
Brannon's make up seems much better than Denney's ever was.

Curious how this'll play out today. They have $5,700,400 in slot value for the first 3 picks. Then the $403,915 5% overage. So they can give the first 3 guys ~$2M each on average without having to do much underslot today. So they could do like, $2.5, $2.0, and $1.6 or something. More than that and they'll need to start taking money from today. In the day 1 thread I posted: Romero under slot - 2,5M (?) Coffey, reportedly 'significantly' above slot - 2.2 M (?) Can't really see him get any more as an overdraft. Anthony, above slot? - 1.2M (?)Your figures make more sense, but don't line up with the early reports on Coffey's bonus from Kyle Glaser from BA. I could definitely see Anthony getting more than the 1.2M I guessed.

Where do you think we're at budget wise after day one?
Romero under slot - 2,5M (?) Coffey, reportedly 'significantly' above slot - 2.2 M (?) Can't really see him get any more as an overdraft. Anthony, above slot? - 1.2M (?)
Any guesses?
