It looks like the Guardians put the largest signing bonus pool in draft history to good use.
It should be noted that only players taken in the first 10 rounds of the draft have slot values. Players taken after that, should they sign for $150,000 or less, do not count against the pool.
The money the Guardians saved by signing Bazzana below slot may have helped them sign Doughty. That and any other slot-value savings definitely helped the Guards sign Chase Mobley, a high school right-hander from Florida selected in the 10th round.GAMBLING PROBLEM?
