Except for #19 Barrett—the HS guy—BA says everybody else from
rounds 11-20 have signed.
Franklin’s brother got $200,000 ($50,000 over) and #17 catcher
Logan Poteet got $180,000 ($30,000 over).

All numbers now listed. For the back 10, two slots, the two
small overslots reb mentioned, and 5 variable underslots.
I'd love to know the logic for back-10 underslots, given no
impact on cap-space?
Like, why is Kantro offering $140 to Knox, rather than full
$150? Why not just go full $150 for all of those underslot
guys? Where does $10K drop-in-buck drop into? If Knox said,
"not going for less than full $150", would Kantro have picked
somebody else? Did Kantro take a lesser guy to save $10K? I
don't really get it.
Are all these scouts really calling lots of guys and haggling
over $150 vs $140 vs $100? Why not just offer them all the full
$150? Hunsacker, why $45 vs $50?
And why the sequence? Not counting Franklin, college guys went
150-100-150-100-45-180-140-50. I see no pattern. One might
think more valued guys would get more and draft higher,
I'm also a little curious about rounds 8-10 sub-slot guys. Book
agrees for $100K. He wasn't confident he could get $150 slot in
rounds 11-20? Did Cubs call ten other guys first who they maybe
liked better, but they all said "No, I'm going to bet on myself,
I think I can get $150 in rounds 11-20, rather than settling for
$100 now"?
