      Draft Pick Values

      According to BA, pick values will increase by about 7%. Last year, the Twins had a pool value of over $12 million. This year they will be around $8.2 million.

      After Bourn and Lohse sign, the picks will move and so their pool will change, so these are the Twins Top 10 round picks as of today.

      Round 1, 4 overall - $4,494,000
      Round 2, 42 overall - $1,312,890
      Round 3, 78 overall - $695,179
      Round 4, 110 overall - $462,989
      Round 5, 140 overall - $346,573
      Round 6, 170 overall - $259,582
      Round 7, 200 overall - $194,419
      Round 8, 230 overall - $156,862
      Round 9, 260 overall - $146,483
      Round 10, 290 overall - $136,853

      Without losing a pick (and paying a tax) and not saving on the other picks, the Twins could pay their #4 pick up to $4,900,000. Mark Appel turned down $3.8 last year and was said to asking for closer to $7 million. On the other side of that coin, after Buxton's $6 million, the next highest bonus was Carlos Correa, who signed for $4,800,000. So even though their bonus pool is much smaller, the Twins can still stand to pay a historically large bonus to the #4 pick.

      I know the draft is still months away... but I'm gearing up for it already.

      Appel had better go in the first two picks or he's going to end up leaving piles of money on the table. He has virtually no bargaining power this draft.

      For those unaware, Jeremy is the official Unofficial Draft Expert of Twins Daily who we should make official! (Or something like that). I'm told that this draft is "horrible", but they will certainly take someone at #4 with some major upside.

      I do love what the Astros did in the 2012 draft. They took Correia as much for signability as for the fact that he is a legit hitting talent, but they used the extra $2.4 million he signed below the cap and took Lance McCullers and gave him $2.5 million and also got Rio Ruiz in the 4th round and went overslot for him.
