So far, Christian Scott and Jacob Young are the only ones to sign contracts. I will post the Baseball America Draft Hub link below.

Didn't see this mentioned by anybody but a kid from our recruiting class, christian painter, was predictably drafted at 13 and has signed a contract. Pretty sure somebody on here was saying that was one of their friend's kid or something.
Thanks for posting this. Very interesting as you go thru the rounds how small some of the signing bonuses are to high 6 figures in the same round. But it appears that those getting the snall bonuses are those who probably have no other option. Those who come from high school and those that still have college options have much more leverage.
I was very glad to find this. Baseball America and D1 Baseball are bookmarked in my browser but most of their content requires a paid subscription. I imagine Fabian is using the threat of returning as leverage to see how much money he can get. I don't know what his magic number is.
Like in the 3rd round a high schooler signed with a 900K bonus and 3 college guys drafted before him got about 600K apiece signing bonus. In the 5th round a high schooler signed with a 850K bonus and the guy drafted one spot ahead of him got $12,500. Now that is a disparity.
Correct me if I am wrong, but don't MLB have only have a finite amount of money to sign any or all of their draft picks?
I just saw this:
I wonder if he coached much hitting at UF. I wondered why Sully didn't hire Lars instead of Jeroloman. Lars is definitely a better 3rd base coach than Craig Bell, but then Homer Simpson would be a better 3rd base coach than Craig Bell.
I thought I was the only one who noticed that Craig Bell sucked ballz as a 3B coach. And whoever asked, we do not have a hitting coach or one that knows anything about hitting.. it is quite obvious.

This is surprising. Arkansas' Kevin Kopps did not go until the 3rd round as the # 99 pick to San Diego and has signed for $300,000.00
Kopps Wins Golden Spikes Award
I saw that and was surprised he was drafted that high. Yes he had a great season, but from what I read he was not a highly touted pro prospect. They are not sure how to use him or that the whirlybird that he throws will work in the bigs. We shall see.
Cleveland signed Tommy Mace for $1.1 million, Jack Leftwich for $167,000 and Franco Aleman for $175,000
