How does a contract like this work? Is there a signing bonus and/or a guaranteed salary for a certain time?

I believe it's all signing bonus. There used to be a time when clubs were free to dangle things like a major league contract and such, but that changed in the last CBA (veteran players prefer to see money spent on guys contributing to the big league club). So, you get your signing bonus, and until you get to the big leagues, it's minor league paychecks, which are subsitence level in the low minors.

Great interview. I had not seen this. Shew was a great leader. He will be missed. Proud of him.

Wow. Wonder how many small market teams would just rather pass on the first round.

Why? The draft is the cheapest way to build a good ballclub.

Arizona deliberately drafted damaged goods so they wouldn't have to pay.

13% of 1st round college position players play 3+ years in the big leagues. For rounds 2 - 5, the numbers range from 6 - 10%. The 5th round is actually almost as high as the 1st round.

Link to box score of his first game with Rome Braves.

CORRECTION: not his first game. He's played 4.

Makes you wonder how good the pitching is down there but that's a really solid start.

Braves SS Braden Shewmake, Class A Rome: 3-for-5, 2B, 2 RBI, R -- Atlanta's first-round pick has played eight games with the R-Braves and recorded multiple hits in five of them, going hitless only in the first. Five of his 15 knocks have gone for extra bases, and the Texas A&M product is batting .433 with a 1.137 OPS and seven RBIs. Against Greenville, he got Rome on the board with an RBI double in the first inning off 20th-ranked Red Sox prospect Alex Scherff. Gameday box score
