Interesting, thanks for the listings. Herz not quite as high as
suggested; $500K is 4th round cash, not quite the "3rd round"
alluded to. That makes me wonder too whether Hearn really got
late 2nd-round money as alluded to, or maybe not quite that
much?

Other really interesting thing is that while other top-5-pick
pitchers are underslot (Jensen; certainly McAvene; and
Burgmann), that Clarke is NOT underslot.
I think Clarke has gotten almost the least scouting information
and discussion; but he's the one who has gotten full slot. Good
chance, probability really, that he'll get more than McAvene.
But I don't seem to have gotten a lot of scouting input on him?
I'm trying to hope that because he's so young, that he's got
more upside left? Or I wonder if, being so young, that he maybe
had some extra leverage?

Bennet, I assume the black names are guys who have formally
signed already?

Hmmm. On my screen that's what the top line says.

Craig's a chemist. Not too good with the reading comprehension.

Heh heh, I didn't realize that if I expanded my box a bunch, I
could read the whole top line! Tricky stuff, eh? Strange which
guys they chose to list as signed. Unsigned Schlafer was
reported well before some of the others, like Strumpf.
I think it perhaps speaks to the distinction between "agreed"
and "signed", and the necessity of going down to Mesa for
physical, etc.. Perhaps Schlaffer and Hearn are still waiting
on McAvene to formally pass his physical and officially sign to
clear up overslot cash. Interesting that he hasn't; I'd ahve
thought he was a totally agreed-on-the-phone guy, I don't think
was in college playoffs, was he? Hope he's not like when they
drafted Lange and he's failed his physical.

Craig, we hope that every draft pick is unlike Lange. One of
the greatest debacles in Cubs draft history. And that's saying
something!

I wonder if Laskey is over slot?
Oquendo is flying to Mesa, so he should be signing too.
