June 9, 201313 yr It will probably be a few days before the Twins start signing players they just drafted. If you hear about a player signing, please post it here along with any other infomation avaliable. I will update this post regularly. 1-4 Kohl Stewart, RHP, SIGNED AT $4.5 million(slot)2-43 Ryan Eades, RHP, SIGNED AT $1.29 million(slot)3-78 Stuart Turner, C, SIGNED AT $550k(153K under slot)4-110 Stephen Gonsalves, LHP, SIGNED AT $700K(232K over)5-140 Aaron Slegers, RHP, SIGNED AT $380K(29.5K over)6-170 Brian Navarreto, C, SIGNED AT $262K(slot)7-200 Brian Gilbert, RHP, SIGNED AT $120K(76K under slot)8-230 Dustin DeMuth, 3B, unsigned9-260 Mitchel Garver, C, SIGNED AT $40K(108K under slot)10-290 Charles Irby, RHP, SIGNED AT $138K(slot)11-320 Nelson Molina, MI, SIGNED AT $150K12-350 Ethan Mildren, RHP, SIGNED AT $100K13-380 Brandon Peterson, RHP, SIGNED(amount unknown)14-410 Zack Granite, OF, SIGNED(amount unknown15-440 Derrick penilla, LHP, SIGNED(amount unknown)16-470 Brandon Bixler, LHP, SIGNED(amount unknown)17-500 Tanner Mandonca, RHP, SIGNED(amount unknown)18-530 Ryan Walker, SS, SIGNED(amount unknown)19-560 Jared Wilson, RHP, SIGNED(amount unknown)20-590 Jason Kanxler, OF, SIGNED(amount unknown)21-620 Tyler Stirewalt, RHP, SIGNED(amount unknown)22-650 Alex Swim, C, SIGNED(amount unknown)23-680 Zack Hayden, RHP, SIGNED(amount unknown)24-710 Brandon Eason, LHP, (amount unknown)25-740 Chad Christianson, OF, SIGNED(amount unknown)26-770 Ryan Halstead, RHP, unsigned27-800 Taylor Blatch, RHP, unsigned28-830 Chris Erwin, LHP, unsigned29-860 Logan Shore, RHP, unsigned30-890 Tanner Vavra, 2B, SIGNED at $1K31-920 AJ Bogucki, RHP, unsigned32-950 Carlos Avila, SS, SIGNED(amount unknown)33-980 Steven Sensley, OF, unsigned34-1010 Ivory Thomas, OF, unsigned35-1040 Nick Lemoncelli, LHP, unsigned36-1070 Joseph Greenfield, RHP, unsigned37-1100 Julian Service, OF, unsigned38-1130 Javier Salas, RHP, unsigned39-1160 Seth Wagner, LHP, SIGNED(amount unknown)40-1190 Kelly Starness, OF, unsigned Edited July 13, 201313 yr by righty8383

June 9, 201313 yr Ughhh, I accidently put a question mark in the title and now I can't edit that out. I am Ron Burgandy?
June 10, 201313 yr Keith Law has here (MLB Draft -- Day two highlights and lowlights: AL - ESPN) that he thinks Stephen Gonsalves will be a tough sign. What do you guys think?
June 10, 201313 yr Keith Law has here (MLB Draft -- Day two highlights and lowlights: AL - ESPN) that he thinks Stephen Gonsalves will be a tough sign. What do you guys think?Twins didn't draft many LHP, in area of weakness in the system. It would be a blow to the draft if they can't sign him.
June 10, 201313 yr Twins sign 9th round pick Mitchell Garver for $40K. Signing this senior will save the Twins $108,100 to apply elsewhere in the draft. Re Gonsalves: The Twins are confident they'll get him signed. Multiple sources have confirmed that. He might take up some of that extra cash, but the Twins have no reason to believe he won't sign.
June 10, 201313 yr The Twins drafted so many college kids early in the draft you have to think they were saving up a good amount of money for Gonsalves and/or Navarretto. I know it's only been a couple days, but seeing that the Rangers have already signed 12 picks, I'm jealous.
June 10, 201313 yr Can we bold the guys that get signed? Once more and more of these guys sign it is going to be a headache to look at.
June 10, 201313 yr Author Can we bold the guys that get signed? Once more and more of these guys sign it is going to be a headache to look at.Done, good call
June 10, 201313 yr Are you planning on put the amount they signed for next to their names as well? Could make it nice and easy to get an idea of how much they are spending.
June 10, 201313 yr Here is a related link to Baseball America's Draft database. It includes the amount each player is signed for, and the current amount of the pool used vs allotted value. Worth taking a look at as more players are signed. 2013 MLB Draft Signings Central - BaseballAmerica.com Here is a list of the slot values for the top 10 picks. Each pick after has an allotment not to exceed $100,000.: TWINS Round Pick Assigned Value 1 4 $4,544,400 2 43 $1,294,100 3 78 $703,000 4 110 $468,200 5 140 $350,500 6 170 $262,500 7 200 $196,600 8 230 $158,600 9 260 $148,100 10 290 $138,400 Bonus Pool $8,264,400 Edited June 10, 201313 yr by BabyJesusBuxton
June 10, 201313 yr Are you planning on put the amount they signed for next to their names as well? Could make it nice and easy to get an idea of how much they are spending. The R&P page will have all the draft information too. You'll just have to scroll down a little ways. This is much easier, though, if you're looking for one-stop shopping.
June 12, 201313 yr Nelson Molina and Tanner Mendonca have both reached agreements, pending physicals. They are scheduled to arrive in FM on Thursday. Contracts to be signed Friday or Saturday.
June 12, 201313 yr The Twins could add $413,220 to their bonus pool and incur only monetary penalties ($309,915 in fines). That would be more than enough to overslot Gonsalvez and/or Logan Shore
June 12, 201313 yr Righty8383 - After the bonus amount in the original post, can you add how much above or below slot it is?
June 12, 201313 yr Molina's deal will count "a little" towards the spending cap, which means it is for "a little" over $100k.
June 12, 201313 yr Author Righty8383 - After the bonus amount in the original post, can you add how much above or below slot it is? I will if I have that information. Keep in mind with a lot of these guys, we may never find out exactly how much they got. Of course that may not be an issue with the top 10 picks. Also, I know its been listed, but I can't find the page that lists the slot value for each pick from rounds 1-10.

June 12, 201313 yr Twins front office has already said there is no way they are signing shore. Really? I wonder what they thought when they picked him.
June 12, 201313 yr I don't see how they "can't" sign shore if they keep signing guys under slot, it would seem conceivable to be able to offer Shore the rest
June 12, 201313 yr I don't see how they "can't" sign shore if they keep signing guys under slot, it would seem conceivable to be able to offer Shore the rest I highly doubt it. He is looking for over a mil reportedly. My guess is that any savings from top 10 rounds goes to Gonclaves who will definitely need an above slot bonus to sign.
June 12, 201313 yr Really? I wonder what they thought when they picked him. Teams do this all the time.
June 12, 201313 yr Twins front office has already said there is no way they are signing shore. Where in the world did you see this? As an aside, I'm not convinced that Gonsalvez is even going to get slot.
June 12, 201313 yr Where in the world did you see this? Shore was quoted somewhere, maybe the Pioneer Press, that he was not going to sign now but hoped the Twins would draft him again in a few years. Sounded like he was only going to sign if he was picked in the top few rounds.
June 12, 201313 yr Shore was quoted somewhere, maybe the Pioneer Press, that he was not going to sign now but hoped the Twins would draft him again in a few years. Sounded like he was only going to sign if he was picked in the top few rounds. Ah, thanks. I was surprised the normally tight lipped front office would have said anything particularly at this early stage.
June 12, 201313 yr Teams do this all the time. Intentionally pick guys they don't think they can sign? Why would a team do that, if that is what you are saying? What is the strategy play? Draft picks are a limited resource.
June 12, 201313 yr Intentionally pick guys they don't think they can sign? Why would a team do that, if that is what you are saying? What is the strategy play? Draft picks are a limited resource. No team signs all their picks. Twins most likely will sign 26-28 out of their 40 picks. After Shore wasn't picked in the top rounds of the draft there was no way to sign him. Twins grab a local kid for PR and the kid gets to say he was drafted by the Twins but choose college. Possible good will gesture for 3-years from now. Win-win for both sides.
