It’s really a wait and see, but I understand where you’re coming from. From the video I watched of his college appearances, and the stats he put up, I understand why he went 1st round.

The Yankees must have very good negotiators.

They have a remaining amount to spend, before the 5% overage allowance, of $718,550. The slot value for Ziehl is $606,700. So they can go $111,850 over slot to sign him.

The 5% overage is $406,520 (my understanding is that it is 5% of the total original pool value of $8,130,400). They can also use this to sign any undrafted players that would cost above $150,000, or anyone drafted in rounds 11-20 that cost above $150,000.

The 2 toughest signs remaining from outside the top 10 rounds are the 2 kids left to sign – the HS kid from round 20, and the Estrada kid from round 11 (JUCO).

So, we shall see.

Thank you, that has been fixed. I didn’t see Cunningham on the transactions list on the MiLB site, but did just see him on the Yankees site. Only Rossi was listed. Why they have different transactions lists is beyond me.
