Or what DaveP said ... can't believe I'm actually saying that by
the way.

Nothing tricky going on in terms of $$-for-today.
#Cubs pick Paul Richan: "I was watching the draft on TV, and it
was kind of hectic. My advisor called me like a minute before
the pick happened. He asked if I would take [slot] money. I
agreed to it. Within 30 seconds my name popped up on the board,
and I was extremely excited."

No surprises on any of these, I don't think. Cubs are always
calling and talking in advance, so I think pretty much other
than 1st rounders, they pretty much know where they are at.
Is Hoerner's season done? Or are they College-World-Series team
that will take a while?
Given that Davis is raw, and Roederer missed a month, I wonder
if both of those guys would kinda like to get started quickly
and get max development time this summer still? As opposed to
the old days, when HS guys would generally negotiate till the
the deadline...

[quote]*I think I read he hit .394. That doesn't seem very
high, for a high-school prospect? Yet scouting reports seem to
like his hitting. Who knows. (I recall wondering about this
with Vitters, too. Super nice scouting reports on his swing,
yet he didn't hit .400 in HS.....) [/quote]
Interestingly, Roederer and Richan both went to the same high
school in the Los Angeles area. Hart HS has also produced
several major leaguers including Trevor Bauer, Mike Montgomery,
James Shields, Tyler Glasnow, Pat Valaika, Kevin Millar, Todd
Zeile, and Bob Walk. Who knows if .394 is a good average in
their league, but it's probably fair to say their high school
knows how to produce major leaguers.

Shoulder injuries can take awhile to heal up so even if Roederer
plays poor results wouldn't be a shock to me.

Actually I was just flipping through his high school's MaxPreps
page, and it looks like they play in the same area as Vitters's
old high school. They actually lost to Vitters's old high
school Cypress in their sectional tournament to finish their
season.
.394 with 7 homers did make Roederer easily the most productive
hitter on his team by the way. They had another hitter with 3
homers, and only three other players hit one homer all season.

Thanks, JR. That's helpful context. And thanks P2, that
Stanford is done.
In terms of signing speed, any of the guys who are slot or
under, they can be signed right away. But *IF* Davis is
overslot, then I'd imagine he'd need to wait until there is
enough overage and/or underslot cash freed up to make it work.
No way they're going to sign a guy and go into tax mode.
