Draft Budget:
Code:
Pick Player Slot Actual Savings 012 Baty $4,366,400 $3,900,000 $466,400 053 Wolf $1,370,400 $2,150,000 ($779,600) 089 Allan $667,900 $2,500,000 ($1,832,100) 118 Mangum $487,900 $20,000 $467,900 148 Jones $364,400 $10,000 $354,400 178 Ashford $277,100 $10,000 $267,100 208 Ritter $216,600 $10,000 $206,600 238 Wollersheim $174,000 $1,000 $173,000 268 Genord $154,600 $10,000 $144,600 298 Ota $145,300 $1,000 $144,300 Total: $8,224,600 $8,612,000 ($387,400)
Let's say Baty at 3.7, Wolf at 1.7 and Allan at 3.0. That's $8.4m; Mets have $8.63m to play with with the non-penalty overage.
That's 250k for seniors rounds 4-10. Tough to do. Even cheaping out at $50k for a few makes it a close margin.
You could almost justify them going way over, and taking a hit on next year's draft because they got a first rounder in Allen.
I think they need to probably aim at $8m for the three, then they have a more doable 4-10.
Ironically, the seniors have a bit of leverage since they know if their slot disappears the Mets have less money to spend on the top 3...example, 4-5 have $500k slots

This draft makes me think of a strategy to completely blow past the bonus pool if it would be worth it...
Full Strategy: - Take the top ranked pick evey selection regardless of financial demands... This will give you 40 likely high quality picks... - Pay then what their worth... Yes this may end up costing 140M $ after the 100% penalty... - Incur the top penalty of loss of 2 future 1st round picks. (It’s likely you will have drafted atleast 4 or 5 1st Round Caliber Guys) - Have all these top quality prospects grow in your farm system at the same time getting them to the majors at roughly the same window of time...
5th Nathan Jones - RHP 6th Zach Ashford - OF 7th Luke Ritter - UT 8th Connor Wollersheim - LHP 9th Joe Genord - 1B 10th Scott Ota - OF 20th Matt O'Neill - C 21st Branden Fryman - SS 26th Mitchell Senger - LHP 29th LT Struble OF

Typically they have to sign the #1 pick then all the rest fall into place. This year, they need to sign the #3 pick first, then #1 and #2.
But unlike previous years, every pick after #3 can be signed for minor league minimum at almost any time. I suspect everyone who hasn't signed immediately is either in college playoff baseball, or just contingency picks that they will only sign if someone else opts out.
_________________ Pre Spring Prediction: - 2020 will be the Mets Big Year! - Offense, Starting Pitching, Bull Pen will all be among the league leaders - No now minor league players will make their mark in the big time. - The talent emerging in the Mets A ball teams will convince us they can keep this trend going.
(As we transition from winter to spring, all things are possible)

I know if a team fails to sign a 1st rd pick they get a comp pick the next year. Is that the only round it's true for?
If a team doesn't sign their first or 2nd rounder (but offers 40% of slot), they get compensated with a pick the year later, 1 pick lower.
There's no compensation if they fail to sign their 3rd rounder, which makes signing him pretty important, cause a 3rd round pick isn't something they want to lose.
_________________ Go Mets. Good luck Zach Wheeler. You're the only Phillie I like.
Third round and second round signings are important more for the loss of slot money. If Baty signed bit Wolf and Allan did not, that's a whole lot of money that can't be used rounds 11-40.
I guess that's why they picked some HSers in those as a hedge for any overage from Baty.
Very high risk strategy, but in a miracle, could make it a watershed draft.
