Goldberg has signed: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports...,6684129.story

Anderson is throwing out the first pitch Wednesday, so that should indicate he's signing tomorrow.

[Bucky F. Dent]

Appreciate the public service double M.

Looks like Anderson, Danish, May, and Lowry will be signing soon:

Excellent news, I'm a big fan of both Lowry and Michalczewski later down the line, hoping to god that this is the draft that really turns this organization's farm system back around.

White Sox agreed to terms with first-round pick SS Tim Anderson.

Jim Callis of Baseball America reports that Anderson will receive a $2.164 million bonus, which is the exact slot recommendation assigned to the 17th overall pick.

[Mr. Jinx]

If a guy doesn't sign, does anything count against the pool of draft funds we have? As in is there any sort of cap hold or is it no harm no foul at least from a financial standpoint?

[Bucky F. Dent]

Any word on Octavio Rodriguez? According to the experts he is the late round flyer with the most potential.

Let's say the Bonus Pool (slotting system) is set at $10mm based on your pick, but you fail to sign 2 players in the Top 10, worth $500K total. Your pool goes down that $500K. Now let's say you draft Jared Cosart now in the 38th round, the most you can offer him is $100K. Anything offered to a pick after the 10th round in excess of $100K is counted against the pool for Top 10 rounds. In other words, if the Astros do what I said above with Moran and Kaminsky and still manage to come in $500k under the cap for the first 10 rounds with no unsigned picks reducing their money, they could draft a Jared Cosart in the 38th and offer him $600K to sign. Half a million of that total would go against their Top 10 round money, bringing them to the max.

BA's got a nice Draft tracker going right now, I'll try to keep the OP in this thread updated, but here's another good resource:

Also details bonuses and tracks how the Sox are doing budget-wise.

Per Jim Callis, Danish has signed for slot money.

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA 9m #WhiteSox ink 2nd-rder Tyler Danish for $1,001,800. Florida HS P, ultrapolished, heavy 90-93 fastball, feel for slurve & changeup. #mlbdraft

Future Sox has it's own Draft Tracker as well with a lot more info on signings, especially in the 10-40 round area. Not much citation, but these guys are pretty reliable, so we'll put them on the board, yes
