At pick 116 the slot value was under 500.000. I am sure the threshold is different for each person, but what is the lowest slot value that a kid might decide not to go pro and go back to college if eligible? or even decide not to go pro at all. If someone is drafted low, they are going to be in low a and may never make it to high dollar pro. Just curious on thoughts and some education for me. thanks
Teams are assigned a pool of money based on the slot value of their first 10 picks which teams can allocate as they wish. However, a team needs to actually sign the players in order to use their slot value; if they do not sign a player, they forfeit that use of that money. Most teams will have had conversations with players taken in the first 10 rounds prior to announcing them as their pick. If a player is taken within the first 10 rounds, their is a very high chance they have already verbally committed to a dollar amount; that dollar amount is dependent on each player's situation and choice of weighing college vs going pro.ratfacemcdougal said:

Will Frizzell to the Nats!
Frizzell lasted until the 8th round?
is this a situation where he doesn't project to a certain defensive position?

Probably projects as a future DH and thus has a low ceiling. Plus he was not on any draft rankings prior to the season, so a late surge, even though it was an All-American surge, put him towards the back.W said:

FWIW, Boomer White left when he was a 10th Rd. selection that was a tad over $100K back then signing.
So, don't see Frizzell coming back at this point.

Lefty is (and should be) gone. Really can only hurt himself coming back. He was likely gone even before this great season.
Brandon Birdsell (2019 RHP) was taken in the 11th round
Ugh hard for me to watch. My brother in law is the only First Team All-American still not drafted. Getting nervous...
Jozwiak to the Marlins!
Who is he? Sorry if you listed him somewhere else.

Hunter Wells?

Hunter Wells?
How does no one select a First Team All American that batted .385 with 14 bombs?
Wow. Yeah, I'd like to know too.
Had the second most hits in the entire nation...undrafted. unbelievable.Secolobo said:

It's probably a combination of age and size. Someone will still give him a shot.213 Grove said:Yes.Ag 11 said:

I figured he would fall down into the later rounds because of that but to go undrafted just seems absurdpowerbelly said:It's probably a combination of age and size. Someone will still give him a shot.213 Grove said:Yes.Ag 11 said:

Mike Piazza was a 62nd round pick. Hopefully, he will get a chace.213 Grove said:I figured he would fall down into the later rounds because of that but to go undrafted just seems absurdpowerbelly said:It's probably a combination of age and size.

That sucks. You would think someone would take a flyer on him. Was his asking price too high?213 Grove said:Had the second most hits in the entire nation...undrafted. unbelievable.Secolobo said:

On another note, if he has another year of eligibility and is looking to perform on a bigger stage, I know of a school that is rebuilding fast and could use him.
FREE AGENT NEWS: The @Angels took 20 pitchers in all 20 rounds of the #MLBDraft, but did sign C Kyle Lovelace as a free agent, per @R_Brauninger. Lovelace was a defensive magician at Houston before transferring to @AggieBaseball.

He said no one ever even contacted him. He would sign for a pb&j sandwich just to have a shot. And unfortunately he was a super senior. No more eligibility left
Not sure how it exactly works when it comes to contacting teams about interest, but there is always free agency.213 Grove said:themissinglink said:That sucks.

For sure. I think he will sign with a team but after dedicating your whole life to baseball and putting up the numbers he did it's just not the same as hearing your name called on draft day
FREE AGENT SIGNINGS: @Pirates get on the board with a good one with the addition of @HartfordBASE LHP Nick Dombkowski as a free agent signing. He was slated to head to Texas A&M this fall. Now with the #Pirates. h/t @maddelucchi

Logan Henderson too
Logan Henderson signed his minor league deal yesterday. Before the coaching change he said he would not report to campus at A&M. Was hoping to see if anything had changed his mind but we will never know now.
All Aggie related draftees signed their contracts. I'll update the op when I get a chance.
