there's actually a couple of other guys though that they aren't likely to sign but some savvy pool management could get one of them.  Shane Kelso rd 24, or Kenyon Yovan round 27.  And the UCLA kid from the 26th.  Kyle Molnar.

So I think the top 10 is locked up save for 7th rounder that's still in the CWS.

So how are we doing on pool money?  Does pool money only count for the first 20 rounds?

Did he already say he is going to college? Or we just won’t have enough money to sign him.  

They were talking about him going in the late or so.  A value of about 1mil or slightly more.  

I think they're about even or slightly over slot by about 100k for picks 1-4.  They saved 150k for pick 10 and a few bucks for 8 and 9.  

They've still got the 350k of 5% overage available so they are likely about 400k out in front right now.  I think 5, 6 and 7 might save then another 100-200k at best.  Probably end up at slot.  

So they'd likely be 4-500k short of signing a guy like Jones.  

I think Coleman Crow was another unlikely.

first ten rounds.  11-40 you've got 125k per player.  Anything over that counts against the pool.

$409,600 (allotment) + $380,00 (bonus penalty) = $789,600.00 available

Through a weird circumstance I actually had a chance to watch Kelso pitch for Feather River. Big, strong kid. Glad they were able to sign him.

Luke Boyd ,round 38, has said he will return to Baylor.

Southard has said he's going to UT (if I recall) as well. 20th Rd.

I am not very confident they will sign any more hs players. Picks 5,6,7,12,19,21,26,27 are the remaining picks that could still be picked . Some of those picks are 4 year juniors. The rest of those picks are sr’s.  If all these guys sign, and none of the hs guys sign, the final total would be 30 .

I bet they sign one of Corlew or Crow.

Yeah, they have some room to play still, unless Kochanowicz cost them a big, big overlay. Don’t think Stallings or Peek will be too much. Daniel might need a little work. 

Definitely think they have room to pull in an interesting name or two in the post-20th luck guys.

Pretty happy with this draft. Between this year and last we’ve really increased the volume of decent pitching on the farm to make up for our hitting wave in advanced levels. If we can get some of the lower-level bats to start growing like our last crop did, this becomes a Top 5 farm next year even with graduations.

the upside of this draft has left me underwhelmed which means we'll likely end up with a couple of superstars.  

I don't dislike it because who the f**k knows.  

I have to remind myself that I thought Nonie Williams was going to be a star.

I don’t think there’s a ton of upside but I think, especially with the pitchers, we’ll find a couple arms that are only mid-rotation guys at best, but advance quickly. Basically, the volume of pitching has me really happy, especially seeing last year’s class doing so well.

I thought I read that Stallings and Peek were as good as signed, but they clearly haven't been....

to me that usually means they're waiting to see what's left.  I can't imagine Stallings, Peek, or Daniel (5, 6, 7) going for anything less than slot.
