he's not on a summer league team; which means he's negotiating with the twins currently, imo.
his slot value is $150k, but, he has leverage to get more because he has the choice of going back to a&m. my gut says he's gonna sign with the twins. but, i hope i'm wrong

This is starting to get interesting . Conventional thought was that Helman would sign quickly and be in the Twins system by now. Hopefully , Michael has seen the many Seniors that decided to stay in school and led their teams to Omaha .
If he decides to come come back ( like Jake Mangum from Miss St ) the Ags would have one of the top5 players in the SEC next year ..... to go along with a solid group of Jr's ( Shew, Coleman , Foster , Andritsos and Dox ) and some really talented Sophs in DeLoach , Lacy and Frizell.
Keep your fingers crossed Ags ..... this gets more interesting by the day .

Sure would love to have Helman back next year. I still assume he's signing, but would be thrilled to be pleasantly surprised.
When does he have to make his decision by?

No, he hasn't signed yet. Here are the Minnesota draft offers ..

Fingers crossed. This has gotten pretty interesting. Don't know if the Twins are going to be able to make a good enough offer for Micheal to go .
Not sure if discussed on the boards somewhere, but has it been mentioned that the 8th Round Pick for the twins signed for $10,000 when slotted for $162,000? Or is there a typo on the site?
Senior sign with no leverage so $10,000 was correctColoradoMooseHerd said:

After taxes, the amount is paltry. Unless he has a burning passion to get to the farm team now, he's flunking out of school, or he wants to be off on his own, I don't see a good reason for him leaving. It's his life, and he can do whatever he wants with it.technoviking said:

If Helman signs for $250k, that's not a paltry sum, especially when you think of it is $250k now, and get on the bus to play in the minors now, or, $10k next year (seniors have no leverage), then get on the bus to play in the minors. Even if he were to sign for $150k, that's probably enough to forego one year of college for a JUCO transfer. Might not be the case for everyone, but it definitely is for some.sharpdressedman said:After taxes, the amount is paltry.

Looks like they just signed their first round pick for about half a mil under slot. Not great news for us getting Helman back.
Because next year he'll get drafted and get a 10k signing bonus like the catcher discussed above. He can always come back and finish school, but he loses all leverage if he comes back next year.sharpdressedman said:After taxes, the amount is paltry.

How would your net worth have been different if your first employer gave you a lump sum of even 100k after tax at the age of 21?
Don't ignore that this is a partial scholarship sport. Not only would he get less than 10k as a senior, he would have incurred another year of debt for partial cost of attendance (or money spent by his parents). None of us know his financial situation but that financial swing is significant no matter who you are.
Larnach from OSU ( their 1st rounder ) left at least 600k on the table to sign . Twins now have plenty of Money to give Michael above slot $ . Oh well ..... Ags have plenty of good young infielders , but would have been nice to have a guy like Helman , to pair with a solid core of Jr's .
When tommorow is the deadline
Looks like their 5th and 6th rounders still haven't signed. So if those two and helman are all asking over slot, there's a chance someone goes unsigned.OKCAGS said:

True .... but it looks like a bunch of their draft picks have accepted less than slot value . At least we will know by tomorrow.
I look at it this way. Whatever decision he makes I will be happy for him
If he signs just set aside some money to finish his final coursework when he can and get the degree.

Can't blame him. Going to really miss having him next year. I know we'll see great things from him.
Good for him!
Happy for him, but will miss him. Was really fun to watch him play.
I don't blame him... but it kinda sucks that him and Boomer white both only had 1 season in the maroon and white
Well deserved opportunity for him. Sad to see him go.
