Zunino signs with M's

[paulcoates]

While this is not an O's sign per se, it directly relates to how much money Gausman should receive

Zunino slot $5.2, got $4.0

Zimmer slot $3.5, got $3.0

If we can somehow get Gausman to sign for $3.5, there should be plenty of money for Velazquez

Makes perfect sense to me. 8 days

The O's have the money for Velazquez already.

100,000 + 120,500 + 341,345 = 561,845

That being said no reason to give Gausman full slot money looking at how the rest of the top of the first round has shaken out.

I'd assume they're just making absolutely sure they can get Gausman signed for slot or lower before they offer Velazquez anything. Which they should be able to do.

So, the first number is slot for the 15th pick?

the second number is the amount under the cap we are?

What is the the 3rd number?

So, the first number is slot for the 11th pick

the second number is the amount under the cap we are

What is the the 3rd number

How much over the cap they can go without losing draft picks (5%).

Maybe DD didn't like what he saw with Gausman, and wants to take his chances next year with #5.

Very unlikely.

In one start post-draft? Then we're doomed.

[Can_of_corn]

DD is in win now mode, there is no way he is not signing a college pitcher who could be ready as early as late 2013 to roll the dice again next draft.
