I thought I read in an article somewhere (maybe mlb.com or milb.com) that Graffanino has indicated he will sign.
Anyway, glad to see the Braves signed their 33rd round pick so they can "feel the Berne."

How far underslot do we think we will be after signing our top 5 guys? Will we be underslot at all? How much do you think we need to save to go after some of those later round targets like Hess and whatnot?
I doubt we will have enough to sign Hess. I could be wrong, but my guess is he would want somewhere in the neighborhood of $3 MM for a signing bonus and I don't think we can scare up that kind of money. I'm curious to see how much the guys between Round 11 and Round 20 will be wanting. My guess is that they will have to go over $100,000 to land some of those guys.
Trey Riley was in Atlanta yesterday to sign: https://twitter.com/loganvolsbsbl/st...805876225?s=21
5th-rder Trey Riley signs w/@Braves for $450k (pick 142 value = $371,900). John A. Logan (Ill.) CC RHP, 92-95 to 97 w/cutting action, mid-80s SL can be wipeout pitch, was committed to Missouri St. @MLBDraft
Clemson actually called a press conference to announce Jake Higginbotham was signing with Braves. He was redshirt sophomore, so he was no sure thing. (11th round)
Thanks for keeping up with this Rico.
Justin Dean (17th round, Lenoir-Rhyne) has signed and is in Orlando, according to a tweet from his father
Anyone seen anything on stewart?
Jim Callis:
2nd-rder Greyson Jenista signs w/@Braves for $1.2 million (pick 49 value = $1,450,500). Wichita State OF/1B, patient line-drive hitter w/raw power too, athletic for 6-4/220, Cape Cod Lg MVP. @MLBDraft
I'm guessing Victor Vodnik might be the one they splash so.e $$ on
Even though Beck has said publicly that it's time to begin the next chapter, I'm guessing that the number hasn't worked itself out.
This may end up looking like a foolish take, in hindsight, but I still don’t see what’s so special or enthralling about Beck. For talent/round, he seems like a decent pick; but if he ends up costing significantly over slot, I think it starts to look substantially worse.
