Somewhere around 5th to 7th round -
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
What's the signing bonus for a 6th rounder?
Not much. I don't think it will be enough to lure him away.Originally Posted by Tech77
I was wondering about that. Marty - can you shed some light on this? 5th to 7th round doesn't seem that good to me.
Go Tech!
A 3rd round pick gets a signing bonus of about $400,000 +- (minus 31% taxes). A 10th round pick gets about $10,000. I'd say 5th to 7th round money would be between $50,000 and $150,000 minus 31% taxes. Rike needs to go in the first 4 rounds to take the offer. He has enough talent to improve his draft status nex't season.
Thanks, it all depends whether he wants to get his pro career going and whether playing next year at Tech or in the Pros advances his chances of getting to the majors.
I would think with Rike being a junior he would be gone. There is no leverage with signing bonuses as a senior.
This is JUST my $0.02, but if he is 4th round or higher I think he goes. 5th - 6th round he may or may not. 7th or higher he probably stays. With the way he tired or slumped in the Slugging / Run producing area, his draft status has cooled a bit. Let's just hope our team plays well this week led by Rike and a big WAC tourney for him.
