Yeah that's Exhibit A on why turning the money down isn't really
that great of a move IMHO.
Then again, money's not everything. Maybe getting a normal
college experience at a good school and getting to play pro ball
for a couple of years might make him happier in life in the long
run. You never know.

Thanks for keeping on posting these. Surprised they've already
taken three teenagers today through pick 16. Usually through
round 20, they pretty much only take players they know will be
signable.
I was really surprised yesterday when they took 4 teenagers in
rounds 6, 8, 9, and 10. I expected one or two teenage
superslots, but didn't really expect 3 or 4 of them. Will be
interesting to see how they get paid, versus how much the
college relievers get sub-slotted.
And now 3 more early today that they expect to sign.
Obviously a teenager who's willing to sign for 3rd-day $100K is
probably 3rd-day signable because he's not a very good prospect,
and maybe isn't very smart either so doesn't like college. So
no reason to assume a 3rd-day HS prospect is actually any better
than a 3rd-day college pitcher.
But, with the younger guys, maybe some physical maturation and
developmental magic and maybe a guy blossoms into a prospect?
Fun to hope.

The lasy few years they have taken PR HS kids in this area and
usually signed them.

Ryan Reynolds is sadly not the actor, but is former MLB pitcher
Shane Reynold's son.

Laskey was BA's 280th ranked prospect for the draft who fell
because he only pitched 12 IP this season. He was the Cape Cod
pitcher of the year last summer, but his college record hasn't
been that great. I guess he probably won't be signing being
taken this late.
