Yeah, I'd say so. Last year, 2 guys in the first 10 rounds didn't sign.
Good look for our staff too. Late in the process signing turns into a 9th round draft pick.

We need lefty arms...We've got a great one, but one is not enough.

Could have used another year to get a reasonable bonus He is hoping to be a real bargain !

Yes , to me that is what life is about. Take higher risk - reap higher reward - or just get away from the current situation . I understand your side, but, I think he is good enough to safely navigate another year and get $1million or more. Depending on his lifestyle ( probably good, son of MLB PLAYER ), he should be good to go). Anyway, Good luck to him !

Chase is a solid player, but there zero shot he could come back and get a 7 figure signing bonus. He’s a lefty that throws low 90s who’s ceiling is a lefty specialist in the majors.

Totally my bad , I was thinking of Washburn .. sorry . Right now, with the extended roster and comings and goings - it's hard to tell who is on first ( for me ).

Ultimately, this is good for recruiting. The more guys get paid, the more potential recruits take notice. I wish him nothing but the best.

Can someone post some source data on the Watkins signing?
There are rumors circulating that he will not sign and will return to pitch.
Rumors are from well placed sources. Need to verify.
