Jonathan Mayo @JonathanMayo 1h1 hour ago 11th-rder Imani Abdullah bonus w/@Dodgers = $647,500 ($547,500 goes toward pool). Projectable HS RHP from Cali. @MLBDraft Now they are even over the 5% cushion, safe to say that Sborz, Pfeifer and Rios will come in well-under as a group.
Apparently the talk of him not signing is overblown and it may come down to the final hours on july 17th, but he probably will.
Was he drafted in the 11th because of concerns of him not signing and thus them losing out on 150k for the total pool Because if not why not draft him in the 10th round and give him the same 650k bonus Since slot is 150,000 they would be +500k of their total bonus pool for that pick alone instead of +547,500 Could have saved 47,500 which isnt much but still adds up da dodgers CFO needs to be fired and i need to be promoted
Pfeifer and Sborz have signed, amounts TBA. These 2 will likely determine if they can sign Funkhouser. The total allotment for the 2 is $1.391M
Jim Callis @jimcallisMLB 6m6 minutes ago Jim Callis retweeted Ken Gurnick Sborz bonus = $722,500 (slot 74 = $827k). Pfeifer bonus = $222,500 (slot 101 = $564,700). @MLBDraft @Dodgers ------------------------- Saved $446,700. Now $229,700 over but within the 5% threshold. They have about $159K between where they are and 4.99% overage to throw at Funkhouser. If Rios signs for under (likely), that will add to the number.
Been giving it some thought, this is my Top 10: 1. Seager 2. Urias 3. Holmes 4. Alvarez (Placed based on stuff compared to Holmes and JDL) 5. De Leon (could easily re-order 4-6) 6. Buehler (he will sign) 7. Verdugo 8. Anderson 9. Sweeney 10. Barnes ------------------ HM: Hansen and Bellinger
This is hard. Super high on Bellinger. 1. Seager 2. Urias 3. Alvarez 4. De Leon 5. Buehler 6. Bellinger 7. Holmes 8. Anderson 9. Funk 10. Verdugo
Bellinger was tough for me too, I am gonna have to see him in Tulsa before I know this isn't a Cal League fluke.
Austin Barnes has looked VERY good. Sborz is a guy I really like. So many specs and so little space, GREAT problem to have no doubt.
