Minter is a pretty sick talent if healthy. If he was healthy he likely would have been a first rounder.

Exactly I liked the pick when it happened. A lefty who can hit 97 from the left side and has a wipe out slider and a decent change. Had he been healthy he would've been a 1st rounder for sure. It's kinda like when folk complained about the Alex Wood pick because he had TJ surgery now Alex is one of our better starters.

EXACTLY. The Braves viewed him as a steal....albeit one who had TJS....
 
I guess the question to ask about Minter is whether we could have gotten him a couple round later at a smaller bonus. Hard to say given we don't know what kind of interest other teams had. Anyone know how many years of college eligibility he had left. That would have affrected his bargaining power.

Minter got a redshirt year because of the TJS, so he could've gone back to school. If someone else would've been as high on him as a starter as we apparently are, he wouldn't likely have been around much longer.

Sorry, I'm not giving close to a million dollars to a guy whose arm is in a sling.

Really? Do you not pay attention to how prevalent TJS is? Would you it just rather happen to our picks 3 years after they sign, right before they are about to make it to the show or already in the show? That's silly. You can't be scared off by TJS when you look at the success rate of the surgery and it seems about half the pitcher are likely to have the procedure sometime anyways. Dude has an electric arm. He's not LOOGY in waiting and the Braves hope he can be a starter.
 
Allard is nasty and i'll believe it when i see it if he's signed.

Never really know nowadays.
 
As of this moment, BA's confirmed signs are...

A. J. Minter - $814,300
Josh Graham - $500,000
Matt Withrow - $263,700
Patrick Weigel $ 197,500
Ryan Lawlor - $171,500
Stephen Moore - $5,000

That's $1,952,000 of our $10,684,100 (18.2701% of our projected cap), leaving $8,732,100 for everyone not listed above.

All at slot value except for Graham, who is $30,000 over slot value.

Hellinger signed for 300K (200K over slot). So far we are 230K above slot.

Moore came in $144,700 under slot, so that needs to be subtracted from the $230,000.

I haven't seen figures, but my guess is the JC guys we took in the 11th, 12th, and 13th probably were over slot as well. Has anyone seen figures on these guys?
