Why did Jones have to get drafted anyway? He was previously drafted twice and he is what 3 years out of college. Could he not have just been signed as a free agent?

The Reds have signed third-rounder Mark Armstrong, Callis reports (via Twitter). Armstrong, a high school right-hander who had committed to Pitt, signed for exactly his assigned slot value of $496K.

Baseball America changed Daniel Wright's bonus to $10,000. Mark Armstrong signed for $496,000 and Chad Jones for $100,000

Ouch. $10K for a 10th round pick. That's worse than when they gave Pigott (9th round pick) just $40K last year. That's the risk the college seniors run though. I'm sure they're just happy to be playing professional baseball, but the Reds sure aren't afraid to play hardball with the college seniors. They know they have no other option. At least, not a reasonable one.

Dalton Carter and Joe Mantoni and Logan Uxa are listed as signed.

The Merrimack Athletics Male Scholar Athlete of the Year, Mantoni served as the Warriors' primary designated hitter and closer during his impressive senior campaign, one that culminated in a CoSIDA Third-Team Academic All-American selection. The Northbridge, Mass., native also earned Northeast-10 All-Conference Second Team and All-East Region honors.
Mantoni led the Warriors with 36 RBI on 40 hits, adding 15 doubles, a triple and two homers. In late-game relief situations, the senior was equally stellar. Mantoni led the Warriors with eight saves and boasted a 1.61 ERA and 3-0 record in 19 appearances
16th round pick Fabian Roman says he will definitely sign.

Mods, could we do something on the homepage to denote those who are definitely not signing? Maybe italics or something in bold at the end of their information? Might make it easier to follow.
The spreadsheet shows that......
