Dave Berg's 6th round bonus is $50,000.

Cubs save $231,900 for the HS guys.

Too much or too little?

That is surprising.  He was a draft eligible sophomore, though, wasn't he?

Draft eligible sophomore, but a year older than Happ.

More than I thought he'd get, but it also means the Cubs value him like a first round pick.

Yeah, bargaining power as a draft eligible sophomore.

Dewees is one of three college guys in first three rounds to sign overslot so far.

Dewees (draft eligible soph), Casey Hughston (draft eligible soph), and pre-season #1 overall pick candidate and now injured Mike Matuella taken day two.

He's the CF with no arm, right?

Guessing the arm puts him in LF.

I think it will be really interesting what positions Happ and Dewees play when they hit the same level.

Assuming Morrison at 9th round signs for around same, Cubs will have about $1.2 to spend on Hudson and Wilson combined, including overage.  Seems right there to get it done.

Lots of pre-draft planning and legwork to get all this to fit. Interesting how clubs combine and balance overslots and underslots to put a signable draft together and get the guys they want. Also based on guys actually signing for what they say pre-draft they'll sign for. Impressive how the process works.
