The last of the holdouts from the Dodgers bonus pool picks, Florida lefty Paco Rodriguez, has signed with the team for slot money at $610,800. In total, the Dodgers spent $5,301,300 of an allotted $5,202,800, going $98,500 over budget, but not enough to lose draft picks.
Other players who signed include 12th rounder James Campbell, 22nd rounder Alan Garcia, and 32nd rounder Alfredo Unzue.
With these signings, the team has now inked 31 out of their 41 draftees, with only the 16th, 17th, 20th, 26th, 27th, 30th, 31st, 33rd, 36th, and 39th round picks still unsigned.
That’s about par for course ya?
I’d say it’s better than normal.
Am I the only one who gets mad about all the hype Matt Cain gets, when Clayton is barely behind him in almost every stat category and people are saying Clayton just needs to pitch better.
Expectations are a bitch.
Have you guys seen much of Paco Rodriguez? Keep reading that he could be MLB ready for use later this season…is that true? Any comparables for him?
Haven’t seen him, no.
I have heard that he could be fast-tracked though.
