Considering that most MLB players that are American born play college baseball and the fact that you still have leverage after your junior year, and the fact that there are quality college baseball programs in the South where I live, and also the fact that my parents wouldn't need me to help get them out of poverty, I would go play college baseball, personally.

The problem a lot of ex-pro... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Todd4State) http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/sreply/187766 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:38:59 GMT http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/reply/187760/t/Baseball-Draft-Money.html#reply-187760
A players salary is then pro-rated based on:

A. The level that they are playing at.

B. Whether or not they are on the 40 man MLB roster or not- this is a big issue with some higher profile draft picks, most notably Todd Van Poppel.

C. How many years that the player has been in said league.

For reference, the MLB... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Todd4State) http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/sreply/187760 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:27:48 GMT http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/reply/187756/t/Baseball-Draft-Money.html#reply-187756 feeds@yuku.com (TBonewannabe) http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/sreply/187756 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:24:29 GMT http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/reply/187751/t/Baseball-Draft-Money.html#reply-187751
You can be offered more than slot money, which happens a lot, but I believe you have to get league approval to do so, though they usually approve. I am not sure if that's exactly how it works, but I know it's something like that.

For instance, our signee, David Renfroe, got drafted in the third round. Third round money is definitely less than a million, but the Red Sox are rumored... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (RebelBruiser) http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/sreply/187751 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 15:07:07 GMT http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/reply/187741/t/Baseball-Draft-Money.html#reply-187741 ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Optimus Prime 4) http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/sreply/187741 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:33:49 GMT http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/reply/187740/t/Baseball-Draft-Money.html#reply-187740
Im not sure exactly how it works, but I think you just get signing money and then you don't get an actual contract until you are called up. You basically live off the meager minor leaguer's salary. That's why signing bonuses are so important.

so far this year, 705K is the highest for a 2nd rounder. billy hamilton got 623K. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (8Dog) http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/sreply/187740 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:29:12 GMT http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/reply/187738/t/Baseball-Draft-Money.html#reply-187738 feeds@yuku.com (Jackdragbean) http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/sreply/187738 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:26:20 GMT http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/reply/187736/t/Baseball-Draft-Money.html#reply-187736
They really fall off in after the 4-5 rounds (under 100K) unless the above is again the case. for instance, last year Dixon asked for 600K in the 10th and got it. almost everyone else in the 10th was under 100K. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (8Dog) http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/sreply/187736 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:23:25 GMT http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/topic/25861/t/Baseball-Draft-Money.html feeds@yuku.com (Jackdragbean) http://sixpackspeak.yuku.com/topic/25861 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:20:38 GMT
