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.Originally Posted by BeanieAntics

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.
Coppy
Justin Dean (17th round, Lenoir-Rhyne) has signed and is in Orlando, according to a tweet from his father

Sweet - all the "local" NC kids are in.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Anyone seen anything on stewart?
He will likely be one of the last picks signed so the Braves can give him every available penny remaining in their pool.

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

Nice. Saved $250k there.
Even after the above-slot bonus to Trey Riley, we are net "under" from what I have seen thus far. I'm curious to see who, if anyone, they make a late run at or if they just pool everything together for Stewart.

I'm guessing Victor Vodnik might be the one they splash so.e $$ on
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
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.
I hope so... sounds a lot like a helium raw guy ala Tarnok

i want to know more about the "self taught" slider.
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.
"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."

I tend to agree. Beck's calling card seems to be pitchability over raw stuff, which is logical seeing he lasted until the fourth round. But I don't see anything that says we should go dramatically over slot for him.
