The July 17th signing deadline has come and gone, and the Nats had a relatively quiet signing period.\u00a0 Little drama, no significant failed signings, no arguing in the press with\u00a0Scott Boras<\/strong>, etc. \u00a0 Lets recap our 2015 draft class.<\/p>\n

As noted by Chelsea James<\/strong> in this NatsJournal piece, the Nats signed 30 of their 40 picks<\/a>, including all their top ten and 18 of the top 20 picks.<\/p>\n

They saved roughly $700k of their top10-round bonus pool, only having to go over slot for one top-10 round pick (Koda Glover<\/strong>, who perhaps not coincidentally was the first 2015 draftee to be promoted to full season ball), and transferred that bonus savings to two big over-draft picks in later rounds (13th rounder Max Schrock<\/strong> and 34th rounder Tyler Watson<\/strong>).\u00a0 This essentially meant that they were able to acquire the equivalent of an extra 3rd and an extra 4th rounder thanks to bonus savings.<\/p>\n

Here’s a cut-n-paste from my 2015 draft tracker spreadsheet <\/strong>(google link here<\/a>, which includes more details and twitter accounts for the draftees).<\/span><\/span>\u00a0 Red == did not sign<\/span>.\u00a0 *==lefty, #=switch hitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
