2:25 Navin: Seems to me like Miguel Amaya is breaking out this year. Has he become the Cubs best prospect? 2:27 Eric A Longenhagen: He was already a dude last year (http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/top-22-prospects-chicago-cubs/) so I wouldn’t ‘say he’s breaking out, people are just noticing now because it’s on paper. Tools are still about what they were, maybe er’re all a little more confident in it now that he’s performing. He’s an advanced, 18 y/o everyday catching prospect.

Should’ve challenged the SB at third.

You don't need to use the [tweet][/tweet] tags. I edited them out of your post.

So 290Kish for Parker, barring more underslot becoming available from Weber. Not sure that’s enough. Here’s hoping. Yep. $297,605. Basically $300k.

Royals hold on!

Why couldn't you have kept Herrera for another week or two, Royals?

If Weber signs for slot, they have $241,355 remaining to go over (that works out to a $366,355 for one player signed past the 10th round).

If Weber comes in at slot and you consider the 5% overage, they still have $266,355 to play with. For a pick after the 10th round, that means the bonus would actually be $391,355.

Karmex

He got overslot money because he had leverage as a draft-eligible sophomore. I like him as a prospect too.

I thought Hoerner was going straight to Eugene? He better rake for the couple days he's down there... They rarely start a guy out anywhere but the AZL. They're already there getting their feet wet after signing. Even Bryant got 2 games in the AZL. I assume Nico will be in Eugene by the weekend at the latest.

Brennen Davis is also making his pro debut down in the AZL. Leading off in CF for the AZL Cubs 2.

Nico Hoerner is batting second and playing shortstop for the AZL Cubs 1.

Our guys are: 6. Richard Gallardo 27. José Lopez 46. Rafael Morel 47. Joel Machado Guys not linked to any teams: 1. Victor Mesa 30. Ryson Polonius 31. Rainer Polonius (twins from Curaçao) Mexican C Fernando Villalobos was supposed to sign with Milwaukee but obviously can’t now. Also: When I get a moment, I’ll tally up how much the Yankees are tied to but it’s a lot and it must be well over their cap.

Vosler, Brooks and Norwood promoted to AAA.

I've never seen a big leaguer buy food for the other team too. Pretty cool. 1-2-3 1st on 5 pitches for Yu: Popout, flyout, groundout.
