Isn’t $ 1.3 million more than quadruple $ 300K?

It means nothing where you are drafted, it all comes down to money. Other teams don’t have the money to spend that the Sox do, so we take good-not-great players liek Vitek and Brentz and sign them to slot deals, then takes all the kids that ask for the moon and sign them…. other teams would only be getting one or two of the kids that we are just penciling in after Ranaudo.

I wonder how #57 feels about signing for about 60% of what #110 got (btw, WEEI: $1.3M is over quadruple the $300K slot, not “nearly triple”).

More importantly: you Theo-haters remember today during the coming free agent season. People like to call Sox management cheap when the Sox won’t overpay for a free agent, but the Sox are spending big money today to sign top-notch prospects. Sox management isn’t cheap when it comes to developing talent. None of these guys are sure-things, of course, but if any of these guys becomes the next Pedroia, Bard, or Buchholtz, it’s money very very well spent.

The signing of Workman, Coyle, Vitek, Brentz, LeBlanc Ramos, Perkins, Hernandez, Price, and hopefuly Anthony Ranaudo the big prize, would make this the best Red Sox draft class ever.

What’s going on here? A Sox fourth rounder gets more than a third rounder, who gets more than a second rounder? Have I missed something here? If I’m Workman, I’m livid.

This actually answered my problem, thanks!
