Callis has all the Braves draft news today:
6th-rder Tanner Gordon signs with @Braves for $212,500 (pick 187 = $257,400). Indiana RHP, 6-foot-5 with downhill fastball in low 90s. John A. Logan (Ill.) CC transfer. @MLBDraft
So the first five picks saved us roughly $1.5 million.
$167,000 to Paolini
$322,500 to Morton
$132,500 to Johnson
$225,000 for Grissom
Adds up to $847,000 among the 4 we have figures for. So we have roughly $700,000 of the pool savings from the top 5 to sign the remaining top 10 picks, Backstrom, Estes and anybody else we want to go over for, before we account for the amount we can go over our pool before we incur penalties. I am getting optimistic we can sign that entire 11-19 stretch.
Edit: Forgot Grissom

Gotcha. So about $600,000 to spread amongst the rest. If you figure on about $200,000 each to Owens, Backstrom and Estes we can get them all, assuming there are no big overslots in the top 10. Gordon also saves us $40,000 and I hadn’t seen how far underslot Harris was, which was also $40,000.
Considering we went heavy in the 10-19 rounds, has anyone found a good write up on these prospects? I find the strategy intriguing considering the international sanctions, but find myself having a tough time being excited about any of the guys individually.
more savings- Darius vines for 127.5 out of 201.6

Wow. Unless DeVito, Milligan or Parker are massively overslot, I’m pretty confident we’re sigining Backstrom and Estes. Starting to wonder if some of the later prep players are in play.
More from bowman to complete the top 10 rounds:
More Braves draft signing bonuses (w/in first 10 rds): Tanner Gordon $212,500 ($44,900 under slot); Darius Vines $127,500 ($74,100 under slot); Ricky DeVito $167,500 ($1,400 over slot); Cody Milligan $197,500 ($46,200 over slot); Brandon Parker $140,700 ($2,500 under slot)

Talking Chop has $830,810 left (including the 5% overage).
$415,405 each to Estes and Backstrom and call it a day?
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?
Yeah - just gave their chart a quick look to see what figures they had since they've generally been a bit slow updating it. First year I haven't tracked it closely in a while.
Will be really interesting to see how this one works out. Would still imagine it would be tough to replicate this many Day 3 HS signings in the future, but this could be awesome given the international issues.

Kadon Morton signing is one of the true cornerstones of this draft. More and more impressed with the overall job Brown and scouts did.
We need Backstrom. Dude is gonna be a beast
