    Yeah I assumed that. I guess my question is this. Josh Bell last year, would have been completely unsignable this year under the rules and most likely would not be drafted at all.

    In that situation, if a guy like that went undrafted, could you sign him as an undrafted free agent for like 5 million, skirting the draft pool rules.

    Right, but I think Lutz was considered an international free agent signing since he was from Germany (even though he had/has dual citizenship). Am I right about that?

    Looks like the Reds will have their chance to draft a player off the op's list.

    The Reds select Tanner Rahier, shortstop from Palm Desert High School.

    edit:
    Looks like he profiles more as a third baseman.

    edit2:
    He was just called a "Pete Rose-type".

    Nice pick. Power bat who profiles as a 3B.
