I hear there is under $2,300 of the overage pool remaining (until a draft pick for next season is lost) so its doubtful those remaining guys sign before the deadline next week.
A real boom or bust pick, will be interesting to see how he does.
This overslot signing bonus stood out to me.
7 (218): Alex Mooney, SS, Duke
Pick value: $231,300
Signing bonus: $1,000,000
Depending on who you talk to, quite a few people view the good college top to bottom baseball conferences (SEC, ACC, Big 12, PAC 12) as the equivalent of Low A ball or a slightly lesser league, especially Friday’s through Sunday’s.
A 20 year old who beat up on conference pitching at an A level or step above complex league competition is going to be an expensive sign.

Position versatility is well noted... As an incredible athlete with high character.. developing his LF/CF capability is probably in his best interest & long term defensive spot.. Truth be told.. his path to the big leagues comes from that short quick bat to ball ability.. Where ever he plays with a glove on his hand, he'll be fine..
