       Seems more than all Blomker.  So guessing maybe the two
       power-bats will get some overslot between them?

       Blomker wasn't even ranked by any big scouting agencies as far
       as I know - certainly not BA or ESPN. Not sure why you'd need to
       go way overslot on him.

       Morton appears to have had Tommy John surgery 7/9/26 based on
       his Instagram.

       He's an LSU baseball recruit.  LSU was paying Gavin Guidry, a
       16th round pick, $500,000 to pitch for them.  He was the 4th
       highest LSU recruit picked.  LSU could bear the $441,000 slot
       value pretty easily.
       Caden Sorrell was the highest paid NCAA player last year at
       $850,000.

       was headed for 2nd/3rd round before May arm surgery. Would seem
       odd that might be a tougher sign in that situation? One would
       think might be eager to have rehab supervised by a MLB club.
       Guessing that’s probably the case but maybe still wants more
       than slot.

       Marioneaux, $600k.  Effectively slot.  ($9K under).  He'd been
       the guy I most expected to sub-slot.  Interesting.

       Bailey $1.9.  That's $780K over, the biggest overslot we'll
       give.  That leaves ~$600K over for Blomker and Sorrell (plus
       whatever additional discretionary they prepare by under-slotting
       some other rounds 6-10 guys.)   Bailey's is mid-2nd-round money,
       comparable to pick 52 slot.  I wonder if Sorrell would have
       agreed to less?  Or whether he might also be at $1.9 or maybe at
       a round $2.0?

       Cubs have wrapped up signing all their guys through round 10.
       -Sorrell ~163K over, his deal is less than Bailey.
       Blomker $888, ~437 over.
       Morton slot.
       Rounds 7-8-9 all within the 204-220 range, 9th rounder Chad
       Meyers actually the highest of those, a little over.
       17th rounder, huge guy from UNLV who had >6 ERA, gets $50K
       overslot, $200K.
       Per Savermetrics, ~$160K for other >11th-round overslots.  HS
       catcher from puerto Rico will surely get some of that.
       I love the modern system, where things are all no-nonsense
       wrapped up quick.
