-For reference: Cincinnati Reds Pool: $7,777,900

Reds assigned pick values:
1 - 11 - $3,141,600
2 - 49 - $1,227,800
2s - 71 - $865,900
3 - 84 - $708,900
4 - 115 - $493,400
5 - 145 - $369,400
6 - 175 - $276,600
7 - 205 - $207,300
8 - 235 - $173,600
9 - 265 - $162,100
10 - 295 - $151,300

All bonus money directed toward a player selected in the Top 10 rounds of the draft counts against a team's bonus pool, as does any bonus money that exceeds $100K to players selected in rounds 11 through 40 (for example, a $180K bonus to a team's 11th-round pick would result in $80K being removed from its draft pool).

-I.E. The Reds can spend an additional $388,894 w/o losing a future draft pick.

Piatnik was slated to play his last two seasons of college baseball at LSU, but said Monday from his home in Winter Haven that he looks forward to beginning his professional career and plans to sign with the Reds.

“I had an idea of where I was going to get picked, but the draft is pretty unpredictable so you never know what’s going to happen,” said Piatnik, who was drafted for the first time in his career. “But this is about where I thought I was going to get picked, so I’m happy with it.”

I'll be interested to see how many of the high schoolers we do get signed. I'll assume we get the ones in the first ten rounds, and that we get at most one of the ones after round 10 that were in the pre dradt top 500. Then maybe 3 or so of the other high schoolers as well.

The Reds scouted Canada heavily, 5 of the 30 Canada born draftees were picked by Cincinnati.


Though there are outliers (like Joey Votto) Canada has typically not been a haven for talent...since the beginning of the 1998 season only 57 Canadian born players have debuted in the majors (out of 3,607).

Riley Thompson will not sign - honoring his commitment to Louisville

Sounds as though Matt Kroon would like to sign (Reds are his favorite team) - but the Reds probably won't have the pool space to make it happen.
