    You are correct. Little bit a rushed math error, but now fixed on OP. Thanks.

    Hugh signing of Tyler Owens. Florida signee was pending physical. Obviously not an issue.

    Concerning the later round prep players, this is usually an either/or situation. If Backstrom and Estes fail to sign, that money will go directly into offers for the later prep guys, and the team likely has as priority on who is offered what first.

    This one's exciting. Dallas Baptist has some good juju going right now.
    Go get him!

    Grissom and Owens both posted pictures on social media of them signing at the new spring training facility. Looks like they had a small ceremony or something there.

    Big fan of this strategy. Sounds like a bunch of high ceiling guys were just added at a time where there is a major deficiency in talent at the lower levels. Tracking the rookie/A ball leagues will be much more interesting starting in July.

    Well done AA.

    Webber Intl. University has posted a signing photo of 34th round pick Willie Carter signing his Braves contract. Posted on the 12th; sorry I missed it.

    It appears 22nd round pick Alex Segal (RHP Wichita State) signed at the same time and place as Carter. We have 28 signings confirmed at this point. Still working it.

    Roughly $760,610 left depending on whether anyone else exceeded $125,000?

    Blow it out for Backstrom if you can't get both of them AA.
    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?

    None of the later guys over $125,000 hopefully.

    Trying to indicate the source of any signing info I get since everyone else seems to be waiting for Jim Callis and the Braves to spoon feed it to them. I have not contacted any draftee directly. This ain't that important.

    Three 35s and a bunch of unrated. If that’s what floats your boat...
