Couple questions for those of you in the know (thanks in advance):

 

1) Where have Dan Hammer and  Houston Roth been assigned to?

 

2) Has it been confirmed that the others won't sign (Arnold, Miknis, Thomas, Pedersen, Fagnant, and Zmarzlak)?

 

1. Both added to the Aberdeen roster but not activated yet, so it could just be a place-holding assignment. 

2. No and there won't be confirmation until the deadline passes.

Fair to say that Arnold, Fagnant and Amarzlak are definitely not signing and Miknis, Thomas and Pedersen are probably not signing? Is that the order?

From not likely to not happening;

1. Miknis

2. Thomas

3. Pedersen

4. Arnold

5. Fagnant

6. Zmarzlak

Thanks, amigo! Appreciate the intel.

so technically how much money do we have to spend on this draft? Will it be enough to sign any of these HS players at the end of the draft?

It appears that the ORioles can spend the remaining $170,300  on top of  $125,000 for a player.

So basically Elias is going to try to throw $295,300 at these HS prospects and hope one takes the offer?

We would hope so.

My sources or math could also be off. I think I'm right though.

It appears there are a couple dollars left.

In most cases, a player selected by a club in the Rule 4 Draft will remain on the club's Negotiation List until either the player signs or until the signing deadline (whichever comes first), and if a club does not sign a Rule 4 Draft pick by the deadline (

5 PM Eastern on the Friday that falls during the week July 6-12), the player is removed from the club's Negotiation List and becomes eligible for selection again in the next Rule 4 Draft in which the player would be eligible for selection.

Looks like they need to do it by Friday at 5pm (if this page is correct, although they seem pretty through...).  Certainly been quiet for a while.

As the trade deadline talks heat, and the likelihood that we may even have to eat some money for a top 30-40 prospect, it makes me think if paying the tax would be a little justified on one of those guys. It would be spending less money on a HS kid we “like” versus on a “prospect” from another org. that would be flawed or the other team wouldn’t be trading him. 

Just some logic I was thinking about with the trade talks. I know the “tax penalty” gets expensive after the 290k we can offer.

This year, the deadline is

July 12 at 5 p.m. ET. Most draftees will sign well before that deadline, but by the evening of July 12 every team and every college will know which players are going to school and which players are going pro.

Ok, I dug deeper to be sure.  We have about 30 hours and we'll know if we're done for sure.
