[QUOTE="Squints, post: 590969, member: 822"] I'm a huge Yankees fan and a total nerd for the financials of the MLB draft so here's my $.02. The Yankees and other teams will draft guys like Maxwell late as a "keep this kid in your back pocket" flyer. If they can create significant pool savings and sign their top 10 round draft picks they'll go to guys like that, put the savings in front of them and say it's yours if you want it. There's a loot of backroom stuff that goes on with this so teams aren't usually drafting these guys without knowing what it will take. Even if they know it's unlikely chance they'll be able to meet that demand. A 30th round pick isn't worth all that much so it's not the worst idea to take a flyer on talented kid and see if you can change his mind with some money. Tristin English and Baron Radcliff were these kind of draft picks coming out high school. If there's was a clear willingness to sign at a bonus teams would be willing to play they'd have gone much earlier. Now the Yankees tend to spend to the limit of their bonus pool (110% before penalties are applied). But they had to go over slot to sign their first round pick away from Vanderbilt which eats a solid chunk of their pool and they have create savings elsewhere just to bring him into the fold. It's hard to know exactly how much money they could put in front of a kid like Maxwell until we know what the rest of their picks from the top 10 rounds will sign for (if they haven't already I don't have that info handy right now) but I think it's unlikely they sign Maxwell. Anthony Volpe takes out a lot of wiggle room for them right off the bat. With the pool system they can't drop $800,000 on Austin Jacksons and $1,000,000 on Dellin Betances's whenever they want to anymore. [/QUOTE]
