Draft Pick Signings

Yeah, barring an unanticipated injury they'll sign them all.  Price tags are so predetermined, no reason for any surprises.  Certainly no surprises likely from the 10-20 picks.

Blomker coming in around $900k (I thought they were saying $900k overslot) is really nice

Thanks for all the numbers.  

Tangent, but I love the modern system, with slots, pre-listed price tags, and the fast signing deadline.   I'm old enough to remember back to the year they signed Dunston Jr.  No cap; no slots; no deadlines.  For unsigned guys, both wondering when their individual colleges have first day of class, and if the guy actually went, or delayed going to class to leverage a better bonus offer.  (The earlier draft, where guys could play their draft summer, and even pitchers would pitch some innings, I liked that better just to get a look.)  But yeah, this no-nonsense, quick completion of the signings, I love it.

So, that wraps up all the picks rounds 1-10.  Per Savermetrics, 17th rounder Ryan Marton has also signed, $50K over.  He's the huge UNLV guy with a Missou commit, older junior who turn 22 in September, had a high college ERA (>6. ) Savermetrics figures Cubs to have ~$160K discretionary left for >10th-rounders.
